Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: flats

These apartments are part of the regeneration of the area around the enormous former coal-fired power station at Battersea, beside the river Thames near central London. They were designed by the Gehry Partnership. Their curvaceous and slightly random looking stacked shapes are in contrast to the solid massive rectangular form of the old power station building.

The interior of the central turbine hall of the former power station has had three floors of up-market shops and offices built inside the structure. Some of the original structural steel work has been incorporated. On upper levels there are offices and hotel facilities. I haven't investigated exactly what is up there.

This immediately looked like a perfect photo opportunity. These panels are, I assume, covering the spaces for future retail or office units. There are several large areas that are either still being developed or are awaiting work to start, to the east of the power station building.

This shot shows some of the former power station's structural and functional steel work.

The 'Circus' relates to the circular pathway around the old power station building, not to clowns, acrobats and prancing horses!

The pipes with the curved ends were warm water taps, or faucets for our USA visitors. The shorter pipes did not seem to have a function. The presence of liquid soap dispenser bottles leads me to think that the shorter pipes may have been designed to dispense the soap, but either the working parts had not been fitted or that they had failed.

A quartet of scaffolding images from this substantial seafront building. Because I was concentrating on getting snaps for the Scaffolding group gallery, I didn't even think to go round to the front and get a picture of the front. Oh! the madness of joining a new ipernity group.
