KING'S CROSS STATION
London again.
The redevelopment of the King's Cross Station is complete. Major remodelling of the station will deliver improved passenger facilities, rationalised operational activities and significantly increased retail opportunities at the station. The practice has played a key role in the wider transformation of the King's Cross area - infrastructure, social and commercial changes now connect the station with the substantial King’s Cross Central scheme north of the station, as well as improved interchange links with the London Underground, St. Pancras Station, Thameslink services, taxis and buses.This enormously complex redevelopment project has required a series of layered interventions involving three very different areas of architectural specialism: re-use, restoration and new build. The train-shed and range buildings have been adapted and re-used, the station’s previously obscured Grade façade is being precisely restored, and a new, highly expressive and visually striking Western Concourse has been designed as the centrepiece and the 'beating heart' of the project.
