Park

Step off the train at King’s Cross station and you’re in London’s most dynamic neighbourhood. Stroll up King’s Boulevard and see the tumbling cascades of water running down the stepped terraces of Pancras Square. Cross the canal and walk through the choreographed jets of water on Granary Square. Pass through the green lawns of Lewis Cubitt Park and you’re at Fenman House. A building inspired by mid-century Chicago but entirely modern in its principles of light and space. A building totally at home in King’s Cross.

The FenmanThe name ‘Fenman House’ derives from an old steam locomotive operating in the 1950s. Carrying passengers on a daily journey from Hunstanton to King’s Cross, the train reflects the heritage of the area more than half a century before the King’s Cross we see today.

The 26 acres of open space promote play and relaxation, public art and horticulture. At the heart of it sits Fenman House. Next door you’ll find Lewis Cubitt Park, a lush green space inspired by the lawns of London’s great garden squares. And Jellicoe Gardens, a Persian-inspired park lined by rich, herbaceous borders.

Gasholder ParkThe perfect spot to watch the narrowboats on the Regent’s Canal, Gasholder Park is a truly inspiring use for this intricate structure. The park features a circular lawn cultivated within the Victorian cast iron guide frame, while a stainless steel canopy creates a covered walkway surrounded by landscaping.

The public squares and gardens at King’s Cross come in all shapes and sizes, from gardens and fountain-filled squares to nature reserves and parks. Sitting alongside Fenman House, the lawns of Lewis Cubitt Park are the ideal place to relax and enjoy some of the King’s Cross temporary art installations. Nearby you will find Lewis Cubitt Square, designed by Bryant Park’s Laurie Olin and featuring his signature arching water jets – the perfect place for watching the world go by.

To the south of Fenman House you’ll discover Jellicoe Gardens, arguably King’s Cross’ most tranquil spot, where you’ll find peace amongst some of the country’s most beautiful plants. Follow the canal and discover Handyside Gardens, a natural play park inspired by the old railway sidings, while just around the corner you’ll find the popular Granary Square, with terraced seating down to the canal and pop-up events all summer long. A short walk from Fenman House and you can also be in more traditional surrounds, with the London Wildlife Trust’s Camley Street Natural Park providing a two acre haven on the banks of Regent’s Canal.

Jellicoe GardensTaking inspiration from the early Persian gardens where sunlight, shade and water are balanced to create a place of calm and comfort, Jellicoe Gardens is a place of quiet reflection. Wander along the tree-lined avenue whilst surrounded by the sound of flowing water. Or simply pause to sit amongst the herbaceous borders and enjoy this peaceful corner of King’s Cross.

Form Follows FunctionFenman House is designed on the principles of mid-century architecture, where form follows function and buildings are created for living above all else. But this doesn’t mean that the aesthetics are overlooked. Inspired by renowned architect Louis Sullivan, the design is influenced by his ideals of living at height without sacrificing the benefits of ground level dwellings.

Architecture by Maccreanor Lavington

Maccreanor Lavington is an award-winning practice with a diverse portfolio of both individual buildings and large-scale urban design projects. Their architecture is calm but uplifting, contemporary yet timeless. The philosophy is fabric-first design and they create prestigious, robust and well-made buildings that will last.

These practices can be seen throughout the design of Fenman House, with the result being a modern but classically ordered and richly decorated building with large well-proportioned windows to generous and light apartments.

Fenman House is an elegant and intimate addition to the King’s Cross skyline, with a design by one of the country’s most respected architectural studios.

Interiors by Johnson Naylor

Interior architects Johnson Naylor drew inspiration from the rich industrial heritage of King’s Cross. They also took cues from the building’s façade with its defined openings, elegant proportions and play on texture.

A Fitting EntranceThe early modernist inspiration for the building informs the ground floor lobby design, with materials chosen specifically to reflect the façade. The layering of lighting and furniture is intended to enhance these materials and create a suitable atmosphere of arrival, welcome and calm. The timber veneer wall to the postbox and lift lobby area creates a warm and intimate space.

Striking Form + Exemplary Function

Fenman House exhibits the best use of light and space on every floor, and in every home. Function is interwoven with form throughout, with every element meticulously planned to create the most comfortable and dynamic living spaces.

Floor to ceiling windows cast views across King’s Cross and the city beyond, letting the light flood in as the sun passes overhead. Beautiful oak parquet flooring below complements artful recessed feature lighting above, and elegant details throughout have been handpicked to integrate seamlessly into the space.

Furniture EditionsCapturing the essence of Fenman House, from the architectural details to the internal finishes, Johnson Naylor have created furniture collections to suit all tastes. Each of the collections is uniquely curated to work in perfect harmony with the King’s Cross living spaces, and is available to purchase.

Smart Home TechnologyControl the ambience of your home and keep energy costs to a minimum from one central system via a discreet wall-mounted touchscreen. The system allows you to design your own lighting scenes and control the climate of your home, as well as being linked to the concierge for direct communication and the video entry system.

The intelligently planned interiors of Fenman House are designed to maximise space, providing the perfect setting for entertaining or just relaxing at the end of the day.

Exquisite DetailsEvery last detail has been considered within a Fenman House kitchen, and every fixture has been hand selected for its quality and craft. Key features such as the mixer tap and sink are made from anthracite, a dark grey metal with a subtle lustre beautifully lit by the ambient integrated lighting above.

A Place for EverythingAt the heart of your apartment is a beautifully practical kitchen. Designed with storage in mind, there is plenty of space in both tall cupboards where your pantry items can be hidden from view; or on exposed shelving and hanging rails where you can display your utensils and cookware.

24 25

More than Finishing Touches

Thoughtfully chosen interiors feature intricate details designed for their aesthetic appeal and flawless function, from natural stone walls to bespoke metal detailing. Market leading fittings have been chosen for both their flawless function and cutting edge design.

The material selection throughout the apartments creates a refined palette to resonate with King’s Cross. Dark metal tones have been chosen for the door handles, brassware and open shelves, while timber parquet flooring to the bedrooms and deep stained oak to the kitchen working area add weight and form.

The master bathrooms and ensuites feature natural stone tiling and a combination of concealed and expressed storage.

Focus on materiality is a key detail throughout the design at Fenman House, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the bathrooms, where natural stone is intentionally raw and honest to the touch.

BrasswareThe lustrous metallics of the kitchen follow through into the bathroom, where all brassware and controls are cast in an anthracite metal finish. Matching towel hooks with warming walls allow your towels to dry quickly, while the mirrors are fitted with demister pads so you need lose no time in the mornings.

The terrace at Fenman House, featuring planting by landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith, is a beautiful place for entertaining, mixing with fellow residents or simply taking advantage of the views over peaceful Jellicoe Gardens.

London’s Ideal Position

Walking DistanceWalk to the vibrant environs of Camden and its famous Lock Market in 23 minutes, or head in the opposite direction and reach the arts and antiques of Upper Street in just 20. Follow the canal a little further and enjoy the excellent pubs hidden in the beautiful back streets of Angel, or wander south to the design houses of Clerkenwell. If it’s a great day for a stroll, in just half an hour you can be in the heart of the British Museum, or lost in the vast green space of Regent’s Park.

King’s Cross is in an enviable position. It’s within walking distance of Oxford Circus, served by 6 tube lines to span the city, and boasts the country’s best transport links to take you far further. There is nowhere else in London that can stake such a claim.

Europe’s Most Connected Transport Hub

King’s Cross Station

Eurostar at St Pancras International Station

Travel from St Pancras to Paris and Brussels in less than two and a half hours on the Eurostar, vastly cutting down on the time you’d spend traipsing between airports. Or take advantage of the planned high-speed ICE train connection and visit Germany or the Netherlands. Europe by rail is quick, easy and can even be spontaneous.

Why not do a weekend trip to Cannes for some late summer sun, or head to Berlin for a couple of days in the capital of alternative culture? For something a little more sedate head to Champagne and enjoy a tasting, or for something more intrepid hop on the train to one of Europe’s best ski resorts.

N1C: London’s Most Dynamic PostcodeSince 2001 King’s Cross has been undergoing a transformation so significant the area has been given its own postcode. At over 67 acres, N1C will see 50 new buildings, 2,000 new homes, 20 new streets, 10 new public squares and a remarkable 26 acres of open space. This is not just a makeover, it’s a complete metamorphosis.

Central Saint MartinsCentral Saint Martins is the country’s leading art and design college, with a fierce reputation for producing some of the industry’s most creative and inspiring minds. It welcomes over 5,000 students a year, and among them we will no doubt see the Jarvis Cockers, Lucien Freuds and Alexander McQueens of future generations.

Since the redevelopment began, King’s Cross has welcomed some of London’s most cutting-edge creatives. The permanent residency of Central Saint Martins has given the district real kudos, while the area’s commitment to innovative art has seen interactive pop-up installations from some of London’s most exciting artists. King’s Cross has become the byword for the city’s art scene.

The German GymnasiumEngland’s first purpose-built gymnasium is now home to one of D&D’s latest restaurants, joining the likes of Le Pont de la Tour and Skylon. As well as the dramatic dining room, the German Gymnasium houses a patisserie and one of King’s Cross’s largest al fresco terraces.

Granger & CoAustralian chef Bill Granger opened his third London restaurant on Pancras Square in June 2015, and it has been a local favourite ever since. Granger brings his fantastic signature brunch with him, but be sure not to overlook the dinner menu which is delightfully fresh and eclectic.

VinotecaThe latest outpost of this ever popular restaurant at Battle Bridge Place hosts a selection of over 285 different wines – to experience alongside a warming supper from an always excellent menu or take a bottle home to enjoy from their onsite merchant.

King’s Cross has a long-standing reputation for culture, but its reputation as a food & drink destination is quickly catching up. Hugely popular independents Dishoom and Caravan have both opened outposts around Granary Square, while Australian chef Bill Granger has chosen Pancras Square for his third London restaurant. In amongst the big names you’ll also find a number of charming food stalls, such as the community-run Skip Garden Kitchen which uses delightful organic ingredients grown in the urban garden.

Jamie Oliver @ Fish & CoalJamie Oliver Group has taken over the former Fish & Coal Buildings, Victorian terraces between Granary Square and Regent’s Canal. The painstaking restoration project is home to a new restaurant and pub, a group of test kitchens and the company’s HQ.

DishoomNo matter how long Dishoom is open the queues still keep coming, and the success of ‘Godown’ in the vaulted brick arches along Stable Street is no different. This take on the traditional Bombay café is specifically inspired by the Indian ‘godown’, a term for a storage shed – just what the building once was.

CaravanServing only the freshest seasonal ingredients to a discerning crowd, Caravan’s restaurant and roastery is housed in the Granary Building. Following huge success at its Exmouth Market location, this is a real foodie’s favourite and its popularity shows no sign of waning.

The LightermanNamed after Victorian era workers who sailed ‘lighter’ barges, The Lighterman offers all-day drinking and dining across three floors overlooking Granary Square and the Regent’s Canal.

Executive Chef Diego Cardoso, who launched Percy & Founders in Fitzrovia, heads up the kitchen. Guests can enjoy casual dining on the lower floors and a more formal dining experience on the top floor, with a wraparound terrace offering views over the canal and the square.

Shopping at Coal Drops Yard

Visualisation of Coal Drops Yard

Coming SoonSet to open in 2018, Coal Drops Yard will see the arches transformed with a split level shopping street housing over 60 stores. Focusing on independent and specialist retailers, Coal Drops Yard will be a real destination for those seeking something new and different. Retailers have been invited to look at the space with a fresh perspective so perhaps this could be the start of some new initiatives, or interesting distillation brands. Whoever takes up residence at Coal Drops Yard, it’s going to become one of London’s most eclectic shopping quarters.

The Coal Drops have served many different purposes over the years, beginning in the 1850s when the brick and iron structures were used to transfer coal from rail wagons to road carts. More recently these historic structures have been home to nightclubs, workshops and studios, who all took up residence underneath the arches. Now, the future plans are set to forge a new creative path, with boutiques, galleries and restaurants moving in to architect Thomas Heatherwick’s striking new structure.

Fenman House, as with all of the buildings and spaces at King’s Cross, is a product of partnership, the marriage of complementary skills and a commitment to excellence in every facet of its execution.

The King’s Cross residential team delivering the building combines planning, design, development and construction alongside customer care expertise, with a significant experience of creating genuinely exceptional homes. It is consistently committed to the benefits of the finest architecture, intelligent space planning and carefully considered interior design.

Fenman House sits proudly within the surrounding estate; all 67 acres of which are owned, being delivered and attentively managed by the King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership.

The success of Fenman House and the success of King’s Cross is the product of understanding how colourful and vibrant shopping, arts and music, business and travel, old and new, hard and soft, cafés and restaurants, all combine to make both a place for today and, more importantly, tomorrow.
