We are delighted that our building Tapestry in Kings Cross has won an RIBA Regional Award. The building is located at the southwest corner of the North Site at King’s Cross Central and forms part of a 67 acre redevelopment in central London.
Tapestry contains open market and affordable apartments, a multi-use games area, a cafe/restaurant, an energy centre, a retail unit and a multi-storey car park.
Niall McLaughlin has written an essay for the Architects Journal titled ‘A Lifetime of Renewal’. He explains his view that ‘it should no longer be possible for an architect to finish their education. I propose a more comprehensive model of life-long learning. If practitioners return to education throughout their careers, they will be constantly invigorated and, by extension, so will the schools to which they return’.
