Kings Place: Hall One
Authors:Howard Watson
Abstract:When is an office development more than office space? Howard Watson describes how through the inclusion of two small auditoria in the basement of Kings Place in London King's Cross, Dixon Jones was able to create a true mixture of amenities while responding to the area's cultural needs and eclipsing its reputation for being less than salubrious.
