Site Location Model

Situated directly opposite St Pancras Station the iconic, brutalist building was built in the 1970s by Camden’s own architects and engineers. It was designed as an office to house the council’s staff and was used until 2014 when they moved to a new purpose built office in the new Kings Cross development.

The project includes demolition of the existing bus station and replacing it with two new buildings which include a mixture of operational facilities, customer facilities and retail uses. They are connected by a steel canopy approximately 685sqm. The bus station island has been substantially widened to provide high quality space for passengers and pedestrians passing through.

integrated bus orientation

The design approach for the redeveloped bus station has been to connect the site to the wider urban realm. To achieve this, the orientation of the buildings and canopy structure has been adjusted to face the town centre providing a clear, open and accessible bus station.

Facade and Canopy Design The canopy will sit at low level and consist of a light weight steel structure held on a brick plinth that sets a datum for seating, planters and other street furniture. The covering material is translucent and will provide sufficient natural light for the waiting environment.

The structure of the buildings is Structural Insulated panels (SIP’s) and bricks are used as the protective external skin.

Section of the building and the canopy

The design of the seating and landscape has been integrated into the overall design to avoid visual and physical obstructions.
