Building Design: R3 King’s Cross

November 2015

---

Building Design featured the planning consent for R3 King’s Cross, designed by Squire and Partners as their first project for the King’s Cross Development Partnership. The 61-apartment scheme occupies a prime position between Lewis Cubitt Park and Jellicoe Gardens. Façade designs reference natural organic forms, and allude to the history of King’s Cross as a significant railway terminus with an intricately detailed contemporary envelope organised by a rational masonry frame.

Elevations are characterised by splayed glazing bays which undulate inwards from the building line to create striking geometric balconies, further animated with a bespoke pattern used on decorative latticed screens, solid panels and laser etched stonework.

Construction planned to begin in summer 2016.
