Collaborating with other leading architects and interior designers including: Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Haptic, Project Orange and Conran and Partners, the new development includes three buildings that will house one, two, and three-bedroom apartments and mixed used facilities.
The scheme is uniquely placed as the only Build to Rent (BTR) development within the 67-acre King’s Cross Estate. Set to complete in 2023, the buildings will feature 218 rental homes across the three blocks. The development will also include world-class services and a compelling mix of amenities such as a residential fitness centre, screening room, dining area, retail and a crèche.
Green community space
The siting of these facilities around a public square perfectly frames the concept which the buildings have been designed:
- A new London Square
- A new destination at the edge of the King’s Cross Central Development
- A place to live
- A place to visit
David Morley Architects have had a long involvement in Kings Cross working for Related Argent and King’s Cross Limited Partnership, with their projects The Plimsoll Building – comprising private apartments and two schools, and The Coal Office – a ‘creative centre’ for Tom Dixon at Granary Square, both completed in 2015.
