These include what practically amounts to a pattern book of successive council housing typologies and, more recently, the Stirling-shortlisted development of the enormous goods yards site north of King\u2019s Cross, masterplanned by Allies and Morrison and Porphyrios for Argent. An impressively holistic chunk of developer-led city planning, this only completed recently after 20 years of development, even as the area around Euston to the west has been grubbed up again for the finally confirmed extension to the HS2 line.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"breakout alignnone wp-image-765516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-300x204.webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1024x697.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-768x523.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1600x1090.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1762x1200.webp 1762w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1536x1046.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-2048x1395.webp 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-160x110.webp 160w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-230x157.webp 230w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102027\/024-St-Pancras-Campus-London-150x102.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">On the very northern edge of this area of flux sits a new cluster of three buildings by Caruso St John. The immediate neighbourhood, where surviving Regency terraces bleed into the Victorian terraces of Camden, is still peppered with light industrial hinterland and remnants of commercial activity that once crowded around the railways. The site itself was previously occupied by a number of single-storey light industrial units, while, to the south, a huge plot in line for eventual redevelopment still hosts the storage warehouses and parking lots of a Parcelforce logistics hub.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The scheme \u2013 somewhat grandiosely called St Pancras Campus in expansive marketing-speak \u2013 occupies a roughly square city block. It faces west onto Royal College Street with St Pancras Way to the east and the Regent\u2019s Canal almost clipping its north-east corner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The three new buildings comprise a large block of commercial office space and two smaller blocks of market-rent and social-rent housing, together with a retail unit and light industrial workspace units at ground and basement level.

The new work units replace the old like-for-like in terms of space and include some that are rent-capped. Equally, it reflects a client \u2013 W.RE \u2013 with a German CEO and experience of developing projects in Germany and Switzerland, that was prepared to take on and could afford a more carefully calibrated approach to city block making more typically seen in Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">This balance and density of adjacent uses is enabled in plan by the two residential blocks \u2013 themselves divided by a short paved and planted passage \u2013 being separated from the offices by a wider cut-through. Both these measures provide ungated extensions to the public realm. The latter space is paved and planted where it comes off Royal College Street, before becoming an access way at the rear for vehicles servicing the light industrial units. This service way then doglegs to run under and through the office block, dividing the offices from the light industrial units. It means the whole block at ground level reads as a highly permeable cruciform of routes and passages, divided into four unequal parts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In volume, the deeper, bulkier block of offices faces onto the larger scale of logistics and transport buildings to the south. The two housing blocks, meanwhile, step down in height and scale to face the denser residential fabric to the north and west \u2013 which is a conservation area with a few surviving Grade II-listed 18th century houses. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Approaching along the street, the longer volume of the office building dominates. \u2018We\u2019d never done a large office building in London,\u2019 says Caruso St John co-founder Peter St John, contemplating it. Their previous commercial buildings having all been in Germany and Switzerland. \u2018The challenge was: how do you make a bulky office sit comfortably in the city?\u2019<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"breakout alignnone wp-image-765527 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-300x204.webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1024x697.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-768x523.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1600x1090.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1762x1200.webp 1762w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1536x1046.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-2048x1395.webp 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-160x110.webp 160w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-230x157.webp 230w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102317\/064-St-Pancras-Campus-London-150x102.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The practice has approached this challenge with some brio. The four-square proportions of the building and its wide bays, reflecting the generous 12m grid of its steel frame, give it expansive elevational dimensions that echo the firm\u2019s European schemes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The fa\u00e7ade is formed of a russet-coloured grid of panels vertically accented by expressed piers in white precast concrete: thicker at ground floor level and then slimmer above and with bush-hammered, fluted shafts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">At first glance you assume the reddish panels are precast too but, on closer inspection, they reveal themselves to be a subtly variegated red sandstone: unexpectedly luxe cladding panels that reveal the higher price-point for this atypical development. \u2018It adds a bit of nature, a bit of stone patterning, to the fa\u00e7ade,\u2019 says St John. The stone is sourced from southern Germany. \u2018We looked at a lovely liver-coloured granite from Cumbria but couldn\u2019t get the consistent panel sizes,\u2019 he recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The palette of red and white, which will in time be softened and set off by the green of the trees and foliage in the cross-passages and set-back upper terraces, is a response to the context, St John points out. \u2018The white precast and red masonry has a connection to masonry buildings around King\u2019s Cross \u2013 St Pancras station, of course, but also the corner pub next door.\u2019 The white piers are themselves further accented and broken up by what St John calls \u2018knots\u2019: protruding squares of precast concrete at each floor level that mark the meeting of steel beams and columns behind. These read as capitals to the piers at ground floor level while sticking out more like knuckles or connectors further up, both covering and expressing the grid of the structural frame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"breakout alignnone wp-image-765535 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-300x204.webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1024x697.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-768x523.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1600x1090.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1762x1200.webp 1762w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1536x1046.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-2048x1395.webp 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-160x110.webp 160w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-230x157.webp 230w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102519\/049-St-Pancras-Campus-London-150x102.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Asked how the detailing of these squared-off elements will deal with weathering, St John observes: \u2018The Smithsons always said to design your details to take the dirt and don\u2019t make everything flat.\u2019 The whole effect, with its play on Modernist frames and Classical ordering, is oddly PoMo. It\u2019s a whisker away from being a simulacrum of some banal 1980s office building, but it kind of works.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">This same architectural language and play is picked up in the tighter rhythm on the adjacent housing blocks. A scaled-down riff on the office block, here the fa\u00e7ades are more directional, with softly textured brown German clinker brick elevations facing the interior passages of the block. This switches to softly reflective moss green tiles, which line the backs of the gridded clusters of balconies on the street elevations. The grid of balcony fronts is composed as a finer-grained version of the stone and precast elements seen on the offices, with here the stone panels forming the balustrades. \u2018The apartments flower to the exterior of the block,\u2019 says St John. \u2018We like to use colour, coming from a generation of architects who didn\u2019t use it.\u2019<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The effect is reminiscent, in its geometric fa\u00e7ade play, of Lubetkin\u2019s post-war Tower <\/span>Hamlets housing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u2018I like how the social housing of the 1960s and 70s had a real ambition.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Camden, for instance, wasn\u2019t afraid to make large developments, which worked as long as they were making good spaces within them.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"breakout alignnone wp-image-765531 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-300x204.webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1024x697.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-768x523.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1600x1090.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1762x1200.webp 1762w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1536x1046.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-2048x1395.webp 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-160x110.webp 160w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-230x157.webp 230w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26102422\/105-St-Pancras-Campus-London-150x102.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The differing detailing of the housing blocks is not just a matter of aesthetics but reflects their differing construction: concrete frame and load-bearing masonry, rather than the offices\u2019 steel frames and floor-to-ceiling glazing. St John says: \u2018We like to make buildings with no unnecessary rhetorical flourishes: to make good architecture out of rational decisions.\u2019 Certainly the gentle \u2018rhetorical\u2019 composition of the fa\u00e7ades feels more like a playful representation of the logic of the building\u2019s construction here than just wilful gesture. <span class=\"s1\">Still, much of this impressive architectural heft comes with the unapologetic use of carbon-hungry steel and concrete, be it the latter with the sticking-plaster caveat of a high-cement replacement mix. \u2018We did look at using a timber cassette system for the offices but the fire engineering and acoustics didn\u2019t stack up,\u2019 says St John.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">But, beyond the big moves, materially it is sparingly and tightly detailed. The impressive build quality enables a rare level of precision where materials butt up against each other. \u2018We don\u2019t cover up junctions like other architects,\u2019 says St John.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The development is all-electric, too. The heating is provided by air-source heat pumps \u2013 a prescient decision when taken in 2018 \u2013 and supplemented by PV solar panels arrayed across the roof.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A comprehensive SuDS strategy also means there is a large attenuation tank on site. \u2018It\u2019s like an amazing swimming pool, which no one can ever use,\u2019 laughs Rod Heyes, who led on the project.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"breakout alignnone wp-image-765512 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-300x204.webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1024x697.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-768x523.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1600x1090.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1762x1200.webp 1762w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1536x1046.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-2048x1395.webp 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-160x110.webp 160w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-230x157.webp 230w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101919\/089-St-Pancras-Campus-London-150x102.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Inside, the materially rich quality of the exteriors continues. The entrance to the offices is via a generous four-square lobby. Its lofty 5.5m height reflects the datum set by the light industrial units at the rear of the ground floor, while the generous spans of its 12 x12m column grid are emphasised by the depth of the exposed steel beams.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As a space, it currently feels almost too large for the building but will in time host a caf\u00e9, creating a shared communal space for the circa 1,000 people who will work in the building.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The floor is hard-wearing end-grain larch sawn timber. Elsewhere, robust materials and straightforward detailing predominate: tooled metal grills for mechanically assisted ventilation set into the floor; felt acoustic baffle panels to exposed ceilings. The exterior colour palette is continued subtly in features such as the painted sides to the timber acoustic battens, alternating red and green. Timber also appears in the chunky frames of glazed internal panels. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The spacious feel continues upstairs, with floorplates similarly big-boned and flexible, sitting around a central core. Floor-to-ceiling heights drop to 4m but the deep plans are mitigated by floor-to-ceiling windows. On the upper floors, roof terraces step back, planted to assist water attenuation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-765510\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1743\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp 1743w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-204x300.webp 204w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-697x1024.webp 697w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-768x1128.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-749x1100.webp 749w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-817x1200.webp 817w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1046x1536.webp 1046w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1395x2048.webp 1395w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-157x230.webp 157w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101742\/101-St-Pancras-Campus-London-102x150.webp 102w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1743px) 100vw, 1743px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The two housing blocks consist of 33 units in total \u2013 19 market rentals in one and 14 affordable units for intermediate and social rent in the other. While the market rent block benefits from better light, with several west-facing balconies overlooking Royal College Street, the affordable rent units are in an arguably better position, enjoying views across a stretch of green-swathed canal.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">While separating the tenures into two blocks makes practical sense, given that the affordable block is managed separately by a housing association, any sense of there being a \u2018poor door\u2019 is dispelled by the identically and impressively high-specced lobbies, with coloured terrazzo floors inset with a basket-weave pattern. Indeed the affordable rent block lobby has a feeling of greater generosity, enjoying light from both sides. The one flat we visited (a market rental) continues the rich material theme, with parquet floors, as well as a deep, wide balcony.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">To the rear, the light industrial units contain big chunky spaces, offering the same square meterage to those they replaced, although much of this is located, less than ideally, in the basement. Rent-capped units notwithstanding, one also imagines the tenants now are more likely to be microbreweries or research lab outposts of the Knowledge Quarter to the south.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Meaty, but nicely and straightforwardly accented and tooled, St Pancras Campus is an odd combo of drily witty PoMo floridness and <i>sehr praktisch<\/i> rational restraint that feels already at home in the streetscape and represents a generous attempt to help stitch a bit of city fabric back together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"breakout alignnone wp-image-765504 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-300x204.webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1024x697.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-768x523.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1600x1090.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1762x1200.webp 1762w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-1536x1046.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-2048x1395.webp 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-160x110.webp 160w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-230x157.webp 230w, https:\/\/cdn.rt.emap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/11\/26101143\/097-St-Pancras-Campus-London-150x102.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Project data<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\"><strong>Start on site<\/strong> \u200aAugust 2021<br \/>\n<b>Completion<\/b> \u200aSeptember 2024<br \/>\n<b>Gross internal floor area<\/b> Total: 24,400m<sup>2<\/sup>;
