B&W 22 Handyside Street

[Musicman]

An office building at Kings Cross by Coffey Architects, completed 2020.

The building is a clever solution to a difficult location. Grade II listed railway tunnels directly below the site required it to be very lightweight and was a key factor in the structure running at a diagonal across the site, whereby the structure would cause the least interference, while the perforated aluminium panels help to control solar gain and provide visual interest to the elevations.

An interesting building well photographed Rob.
The mono suits this well.
I am not sure whether the ubiquitous cranes add or detract from the first image. Nothing you can do, they are everywhere in the capital.
