Scheme to include hotel and more than 14,000sq m of office space

AHMM has secured its second major green light in a month with the approval of a major mixed-use scheme on the site of the former Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital in King’s Cross.

The practice has followed up its planning win for its redevelopment of Lasdun’s IBM building with proposals to build 14,000sq m of office space, an 182-room hotel and 72 homes, half of which will be affordable, across five blocks up to 15 storeys in height.

All buildings on the hospital site will be demolished to make way for the development except the main building fronting on to 330 Gray’s Inn Road, which will have a two-storey roof extension added.
