DESIGN OF OUR TIMES / FRANK(LY) SUBDUED GEHRY OPENS IN LONDON


You're looking at Frank Gehry’s first housing project in the UK. Called Prospect Place, the recently completed instant landmark is located adjacent to London’s Battersea Power Station along the Thames River. 

Prospect Place is somewhat more subdued than so many of Ghery’s distinctive portfolio of deconstructive controversies. 

Shall we say it's perfect for London, a throwback to melting wedding cakes from Mrs. Havisham's Dickensian sadness. 

The two Gehry-esque buildings contain 308 housing units that range in size from studios to one-bed flats to four bedroom townhouses and penthouses.
