London’s Battersea Power Station, a decommissioned coal-fired power station and celebrated landmark, is in the midst of a major redevelopment. The structure, which is the largest brick building in Europe, has remained largely unused since it stopped generating electricity in 1983. Thanks to funding from Malaysian developers, the Battersea Power Station is being reimagined and will eventually include high-end retail spaces, chic restaurants, offices, a hotel, and luxury apartments.

Wilkinson Eyre Architects, one of the UK’s leading architecture firms, has been commissioned to transform the main building, which still holds some of its original Art Deco interior fittings and decor. The Battersea Power Station Development Company, which is overseeing the project, has selected Norman Foster and Frank Gehry, both celebrated architects and designers, to design a portion of the Station's residences.
