Lots Road Power Station, Chelsea, London SW10

IOTA was commissioned to supply bespoke architectural metalwork, and large-scale interior planters, for the redevelopment of the Lots Road Power Station in Chelsea, London SW10. 

For the architectural metalwork brief, IOTA was contracted to design, manufacture and supply 150nr. separate ceiling feature elements, of varying size and design, for the East and West Concierge areas of the Lots Road Power Station. The essential design concept appears deceptively simple, but this was in fact a challenging brief. The elements were required to be design-integrated with lighting, ventilation and fire extinguisher systems. In addition, the metallic bronze colour was very unforgiving; and the features needed to be fully-welded, and they were large [up to L 1500 x H 1000mm]. As a result, the features needed to be manufactured with great precision, to achieve the high aesthetic standard expected on such a prestigious development.

For the planters brief, IOTA was contracted also to install, in addition to design, manufacture and supply. 22nr. planters were supplied, in various dims. up to L/W 3000mm, manufactured from robust 3.0mm thick 1.4003 Stainless Steel, and Polyester Powder Coated with the super-durable, ultra-matt Interpon D2015 Precis paint formulation in the Dark Bronze colour Y2M01L. IOTA’s interior planters form the landscaped element of a 100-metre public atrium in the former turbine hall, designed by Fiona Barratt-Campbell and set to be lined with shops and restaurants.
