description

  1. Constructed from the reconstruction of the former Benskyde power plant, which closed in 1981.
  2. The main idea of the project is to transform the space of the former turbine hall into the lobby space of the gallery zone;
  3. The facade of the station facing the Thames remained almost unchanged;
  4. Simple volumes of additional galleries and premises associated with them slightly developed the basic structure;
  5. Aesthetics are based on the principles of minimalism and industrial design.
