The new £215m Tate Modern extension, designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, has been given the go-ahead by Southwark Council in London.

The project, called Transforming Tate Modern, will feature an 11-storey glass tower in the form of a spiraling stepped pyramid, or ziggurat, which will be added to the south-west corner of the existing gallery. The building will be 65m (213ft) tall and will add 21,500sq m (230,400sq ft) to the Tate Modern's existing 35,000sq m (377,000sq ft) of gallery space.

Original designs – which resembled a stack of bricks – were scrapped by the gallery after winning planning approval in March 2007. The new designs are created around three oil tanks from the former Bankside Power Station, which will be used as exhibition space.

The new-look Tate Modern will also boast two new publics spaces – a southern square modelled as a city piazza and new child-friendly gardens to the west.

The new building is expected to be completed in time for the London 2012 Olympics.

The project, which is estimated to cost £215m, has already received £50m from the government, £7m from the London Development Agency and £13m from the private sector. Details: www.tate.org.uk
