Capella, King's Cross
View all projectsThe concluding piece of the King's Cross Masterplan, this is a single building composed as a terrace of seven towers. In form, each is unique, but they are shared by three primary materials of brickwork, sinusoidal precast concrete and green metalwork. Providing a mix of market and social homes, and with spaces for shops and active uses at ground, Capella provides a place for urban parkside living in one of London's most exciting neighbourhoods today. It also marks an important milestone in our twenty-year involvement in the evolution of King's Cross.
