Project Description

A very complex and distinct project build in the heart of London’s Kings Cross area formed of 3 circular buildings carefully implemented within the Grade II-listed, cast iron gasholder guide frames, originally constructed in 1867. With clear glass balustrades, the building now offers 145 apartments, a private gym and spa, a business lounge and an entertainment suite with screening room, bar reception area and private dining room contained in the three drum shape buildings. A fourth “virtual” drum shape, is created at the intersection of the three buildings which acts as an open inner courtyard.

• Unitised facades with front-mounted sheet metal facades
• Motorised concertina blinds integrated into façade
• Sliding doors to balconies
• Steel balconies with external glass balustrades and suspended ceiling panels
• Fire-rated facades with brass features in inner atrium
• Glass roofs with smoke extraction system
• Connecting bridges between the three inner atrium buildings
• Courtyard facades to connecting bridges and apartments
• Glazed courtyards to roof terraces
• Motorised sliding roofs
• Entrance facade with canopy
