Building on its experience with adaptive conversion projects such as the London Tate Modern, the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie or the Madrid Caixaforum, the Swiss company Herzog & de Meuron proposes a careful reassessment of the qualities of the industrial site and assigns new uses to the architectural features of the former power station.

During the renovation of station A, a large part of the turbine hall, whose foundations support the raised floors, will be retained. The various platforms, which once housed the machines for generating electricity, become meeting areas with a view of the atrium-like space of the turbine hall. The facade of the upper structure is overhanging, the project integrates natural ventilation strategies and thus sets a sustainable transformation of the industrial building. The ground floor of the station will contain a lobby, conference center and multifunctional rooms, while the upper floors will be reserved for offices.
