ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS

BATTERSEA ROOF GARDENS AND 50 ELECTRIC BOULEVARD

FOSTER & PARTNERS
Battersea Roof Gardens , a mixed-use building , and 50 Electric Boulevard , an adjacent office building with 200,000 square feet of new workspace , have both been completed . Part of the third phase of the Battersea Power Station masterplan , the two buildings sit on the western side of Electric Boulevard , a splitlevel high street that runs from the Zone 1 Battersea Power Station Underground station to the Grade II * listed landmark . The new buildings and high street share a gently undulating form , which has been designed to maximize views of the power station . The meandering street offers a wide range of restaurants and shops , receding and expanding at the upper level to create unique vantage points and moments of pause for people as they walk along .
