Alison Brooks reveals plans for vaulted King’s Cross flats

Cadence Exterior on Lewis Cubitt Park, King's Cross

Development expected to be complete by autumn 2022

Alison Brooks Architects has revealed proposals for a housing scheme in King’s Cross featuring two brick-clad towers of 15 and 11 storeys and distinctive arched windows.

The practice also designed the vaulted interiors, where materials include polished concrete, aged brass and dark oak. Conran & Partners was responsible for interior design, while Pocket Living will manage 60 of the flats.

Named Cadence after the rhythm of the fenestration, the 103-home development will fill a plot at the top of Lewis Cubitt Park, close to Thomas Heatherwick’s Coal Drops Yard.
