Balmond and the Arup AGU were appointed to create a Masterplan for the redevelopment of the long-abandoned South London industrial monument, Battersea Power Station. The vision for the development was one that would “imagine the future” – not the Now or New, but the Next.

Rather than a level plan with buildings placed upon it, the buildings of the Battersea Masterplan respond directly to the three-dimensional organisation of the landscape. Dynamic ground planes and surrounding building elements address the Power Station, providing an exciting visual aspect and yielding a true sense of ‘arrival’.
