2 Pancras Square, King's Cross
We’re currently on site with Argent / Argent LLP to upgrade 2 Pancras Square, reimagining amenity areas within the workspace to prioritise health, wellbeing and sociability.
The design has been carefully considered to improve the existing building by creating a more enjoyable series of spaces for customers. Welcoming and comfortable common areas, high quality materials, rationalised circulation, bespoke artwork and greenery combine to create a distinctive identity with flexible spaces for work, exercise and informal gatherings.
Our work includes consented upgrades to the building’s rooftop to encourage people away from office floors to connect with nature, providing a generous outdoor space supporting a variety of activities.
Rooftop Terrace
The rooftop terrace encourages people away from office floors to connect with nature, by providing a generous outdoor space supporting a variety of activities.
Subtly zoned with furniture and finishes, layouts consider different ways people may want to spend time away from their desks including quiet space for reading or focus time, social areas for lunchtime chats and larger meetings or open space providing an opportunity to exercise their mind and body.
The biodiversity of the terrace is being supplemented by adding trees and planted beds to create an inviting natural environment for people and pollinators. Working with collaborators EStudio Mix, the planting strategy promotes a year-round biophilic experience, enhanced habitats for wildlife and circular economy principles.
