York House

Built

Jack Hobhouse

dMFK and TOG have transformed an anonymous, foreboding 1980s office into a contemporary, bright, flexible office and co-work building in Kings Cross, achieving BREEAM Excellent.

NEW LONDON AWARDS 2020

Highly commended in the CONSERVING category and the WORKING category
York House has been refurbished with a welcoming ground floor entrance comprised of a substantial five storey extension, constructed using an innovative angled, lattice brickwork creating a striking decorative effect with the intention of transforming the existing facade into a luminous and welcoming beacon. A new roof extension completes the formerly truncated building using CLT and perforated folded aluminium to reflect the language of the castellated facade.
