The story
The story behind the work.
The long, narrow site sits between Lewis Cubitt Park and Jellicoe Gardens. A central glazed entrance and dual-aspect homes create physical and visual links between the two landscapes.
Two offset warehouse-like forms are wrapped in a contemporary masonry frame, with latticed screens and etched stonework referring to King's Cross as a railway terminus.
