stewart as part of the design
and build team on the Arthouse
Project in Kings cross. The project
consists of The 143 intelligently
planned apartments, 29 of
which are affordable housing.
responding to residents’ shade
and privacy requirements,
sliding louvres animate the
face that ArtHouse presents to
london. Arthouse is a mixed use
development with retail units on
the ground floor and car parking in
the basement. The apartments are
supplied with heating and cooling
via a district scheme and are
designed to code 4 for sustainable
homes.
The building is formed of four
residential clusters, creating
localized communities and the
ability to maximise dual aspect
apartments. Expressed as four
inter connecting towers the
building forms a saw-toothed
profile to Handyside Park,
maximizing views and visual
connectivity through a composition
of opposing balconies and full
height glass.
