“ Taking on a revolutionary new form , Powerhouse will offer a 21st century living experience like no other in one of London ’ s most coveted boroughs .
ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
The largest power station ever constructed , with chimneys soaring 275 feet high above the River Thames , Lots Road Power Station was completed in 1905 as the first steel-framed building in the British Isles , often described as the “ design grandfather ” of Battersea Power Station . Today , a team of architects led by Sir Terry Farrell has restored the historic red brick walls whilst its interiors have been re-designed as lavish living spaces by the award-winning Fiona Barratt Interiors .
Meticulously chosen for their reputation for incorporating historical design features and references to create modern signature residences , Fiona Barratt Interiors honours the Power Station ’ s rich industrial heritage and preserves its place in architectural lore . Combining modern elements with unique points of historical interest , full-height evergreen trees have been purposefully placed where the building ’ s turbines once stood , whilst flowing water troughs echo the creation of steam and two industrial chimneys anchor at either end of the space . Powerhouse ’ s entrance also boasts a spectacular ‘ electric current ’ lighting installation - framed by the building ’ s vast elegant arched windows - representing the original purpose of the building : the generation of power .
Boasting a multitude of state-of-the-art amenities , Powerhouse will be professionally managed by Rendall and Rittner concierge with 5-star services around the clock , from general house management to individual booking requests . The exclusive health and fitness centre , housing a luxurious spa , a fully equipped gym , and a 20-metre swimming pool , offers a private sanctuary for exercise and relaxation . The elegantly appointed Residents ’ Club Lounge with its delightful views of the river is the ideal multi-purpose space for work or social gatherings . For those seeking superb cuisine served in stylish surroundings , the restaurants at Chelsea Waterfront which boast unforgettable vistas across the river , and the beautifully lit landscaped gardens will be the first port of call .
