Battersea Power Station,

Contemporary hotels designed within outstanding historical structure
As specialist hotel architects, ReardonSmith worked collaboratively with Arup Associates to develop hotel schemes for Battersea Power Station that would be contemporary in design yet sensitive to existing historical structures.
The challenge was not only to unite two 5 star hotels with the existing listed building but also to design hotels that would operate successfully within the overall master plan. One of the hotels was to be an 'urban resort hotel'; the other was planned to offer extensive facilities for meetings and conferences as well as one of the largest ballrooms in Europe.
