    KINGS GATE

    Victoria

    London

    The scheme proposes an active retail frontage at ground and first floors of both buildings. Kings Gate is made of Jura limestone and bronze coloured metals. Its south façade incorporates long terraces and the stone piers protects the interiors from overheating and the inhabitants’ privacy, presenting an orderly and dignified face towards Victoria Street. The rear limestone façade and Cosmos metal doors, overlook the Royal Parks forms a ‘garden elevation’ of metal balconies. Projecting bay windows on the side elevations provide daylight into the deep plan and offer views south over the River Thames or north-west over the parks. We see the scheme as a unified part of the city in which landscape, public art and architecture are conceived of as a single project.
