Gasholder No.8

 
 

This competition-winning design will see the Grade II Listed Gasholder No.8 at King's Cross refurbished, relocated to a site adjacent to the Regent's Canal and provided with internal and external public spaces.

A water space in the base of the guide frame uses subtle changes in water level to transform from an active space for children to a beautiful reflection pool. Glass lenses provide views from an internal event space below up to the gasholder.

By night the guide frame will be illuminated by an array of wind-driven LED lights create an animated and delicate effect.
