Gasholders, Kings Cross
The iconic gasholder guideframes have decorated the landscape at King’s Cross for over 150 years. Gasholder No.8 is the largest of these, and was built for the storage of town gas for Pancras Gasworks, the largest gas works in London. Gas was manufactured here using coal from the Imperial Gas, Light and Coke Company.
The Grade II listed structure was originally constructed in the 1850s and expanded in 1883.
The guideframe consists of 16 hollow cylindrical cast iron columns in two tiers and two levels of wrought iron riveted lattice girders. The distinctive 25 metre high circular guide frame has an internal diameter of over 35 metres. The gasworks remained in use until the late 20th Century before being decommissioned in 2000.
Battersea Power Station
The legendary landmark, framed by 6 million bricks and chimneys that touch the sky was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s and elevated what was a functional building into an Art Deco masterpiece.
For its new incarnation, architects from WilkinsonEyre approached the redevelopment of the Power Station with the requisite amount of care – paying homage to its history but infusing it with a 21st-century sensibility. Michaelis Boyd’s interiors resonate with this original, irrepressible character, striking the right balance between energy, calm and the building’s former life.
The new apartments features original brick and steelwork dating back to the 1930’s, as well as new floor to ceiling Crittall windows, art-deco inspired interiors and state-of-the-art appliances and technology.
