King's Cross Central R5

Developer / Owner: Argent / King's Cross Central Limited Partnership

Consultant: Maccreanor Lavington

Designed to form one cohesive urban block around a central shared courtyard, this high-density housing scheme sits within the King’s Cross Central masterplan.  The massing shares a ‘shoulder’ datum level of eight storeys, above which two 16-storey towers rise.  The buildings contain a mix of tenures: general needs social rent, shared ownership, extra care housing for the elderly, and private housing.  A series of outdoor communal spaces, roof gardens and balconies are provided throughout the scheme.
