Gasholders Penthouse III, King's Cross, London

Our brief for this fit out was to modify an established design for one of the remaining shell and core penthouses for a specific purchaser, who wanted a more personal approach to the speculative design. The space needed to be reconfigured to provide a formal entry that could act as a flexible office, allowing the penthouse to act as a local hub for the client’s business, while retaining the function of family home while visiting London.

Through detail design and materials specification, we worked closely with the purchaser to reimagine the bathrooms, kitchen, joinery and complete interiors palette. We designed a bespoke collection of basins to work within an established joinery design, but reimagined in cast quartz stone to compliment the overall material selection. A contemporary white marble and light natural oak palette was chosen throughout to create a more cohesive design. A richer palette of dark timber and marble was used for one bedroom, giving it a more masculine approach for the intended occupier.

The overall design is sympathetic to the original building while transformed to meet the needs of the client.
