Tapestry has won a 2017 Schueco Excellence Award in the residential category. Judges stated that they ‘liked the beauty and proportion that the practice had brought to a deceptively complex project’ Steven Kennedy, the associate principal at Grimshaw said ‘ There’s an elegance there, a level of quality and attention to detail’.
The Tapestry Building has received reserved matters approval by the London Borough of Camden in a unanimous vote. The building contains residential dwellings, commercial premises, multi-storey car park and the site-wide energy centre.
The energy centre will meet the majority of the heating and power demands for the whole regeneration site. The leader of Camden Council said of the scheme’s approval, “We welcome the continued commitment to helping create a sustainable future environment for King’s Cross.”
