London, United Kingdom
Battersea Roof Gardens by Foster + Partners is a mixed-use building that features 436 stylish apartments, the 164-room art’otel London Battersea Power Station and is topped by one of the city’s largest rooftop gardens.
The rooftop garden is home to 23,000 plants and 55 trees, with grassy areas for social events – and soft ambient lighting which extends use into the evening hours.
Curved wooden seating areas echo the form of the building and provide residents with a place to relax in nature and take in the panoramic views.
Guests, staying at the hotel, have access to their rooftop garden with a lounge bar and infinity pool that overlooks the power station’s iconic chimneys.
Residents also benefit from a unique Sky Lounge on the fourteenth and fifteenth floors, which features a sunset bar, workspaces, a cinema room, and areas for relaxation.
Penthouse apartments have private terraces, with spectacular views of the wider development.
