At 67 acres, Kings Cross is the largest site in single ownership to be masterplanned and developed in central London in over 150 years.

@ 26 Pancras Road, London N1C 47B. History: - Known as Die Turnhalle originally, for use by the German Gymnastics Society - Designed by Edward Gruning - Built at a cost around £6000 in 1864-1865 - Believed to be the first purpose-built gymnasium in the UK

- alone, with friends, with team... This proposal fulfils the possibility of the different levels of celebration.

The proposed design is a dual function space. By day the venue is a library / book cafe. By night the place transforms into a bar / lounge.

A library ( lower left ) is open to the public so feel free to read, daydream, study. The bar seves coffee and light meals. The feature panel glows white light that is suitable for reading. The dj may play some music too, and tunes may be requested. There is lots of options to make your place somewhere for the day.

A bar for letting loose and chilling out. Serving dinner in a trendy and relaxed setting. Eat while you lounge or have a cocktail at the bar. Dance floor comes alive at night with a dj spinning tunes. The feature panel changes colours, graphics and themes. The space can be hired out for events.

The feature panel, spanning the height of the space can change colour and mood. Light and graphics set the ambience. Themes such as the four seasons can also be used.

The space plays with horizontal and vertical volumes. Long lengths emphasise the structural arches and height of the building while platforms and reflective pools create interest in the various zones.

The powder room is upstairs in the mirrored cube with a glass treatment that you can look out from within but can't look in from outside.

The library is on the left side where visitors can borrow reading material to use within the space. There is table seating upstairs and lounge seating upstairs and downstairs.

The sunken dancing area is in front of the raised bar area, and is situated at a focal point.
