GASHOLDERS LONDON
Perhaps one of the biggest and most ambitious residential transformations in recent years, the Grade II-listed Gasholders London is the epitome of modern design. Located in the heart of King’s Cross, the building, designed by WilkinsonEyre, follows the concept of mechanical movement throughout. Merging a Victorian industrial legacy with 21st-century design, the former telescopic gasholder is now home to 145 distinctive, yet refined, apartments and penthouses. The external iron pillars of
the gasholders are clad in glass and aluminium, while the interior has been overseen by leading designer Jonathan Tuckey, who uses materials that reference the industrial architecture of the original gasholder frames. If that’s not enough to entice you, you can also relax in the beautiful roof garden with its fantastic views of London.
