“Rippled white facades punctured by large windows define the Prospect Place housing development that Pritzker Architecture Award-winning architect Frank Gehry has completed at Battersea Power Station in London. The scheme, which is the first housing project realised by the Canadian-American architect in the UK, contains two buildings with a total of over 300 homes. Gehry designed Prospect Place with his eponymous studio Gehry Partners as part of the regeneration of the iconic Giles Gilbert Scott-designed Battersea Power Station on the banks of the River Thames. Alongside the residences, it also comprises a mix of retail units and a private garden named Prospect Park.” (Prospect Place, Dezeen)
