Gasholders, 1 Lewis Cubitt, King's Cross, London N1C 4BT – Kings Cross
According to recent research from VisitBritain, the tourism body, the average gas holder lasts only 25 years in the UK's corrosive environment. The three circular structures, first built in 1867, are now being restored with the highest technical standards while preserving their Victorian essence. The design bridges the past and present. Each historic iron framework encloses a new residential cylinder connected by glass walkways and surrounding a central court. This way, the three new structures retain their individual character and privacy.
Next to the canal hang the restored Grade II-listed cast-iron guide frames of the three original gasholders. Inside, the apartments are naturally bright and benefit from full-height glazing with mechanised metal shutters for privacy. Each enjoys a vista of the Regent's Canal and the London skyline.

The property is clad in a bronze skin with triple-glazed windows that are perforated to provide privacy. The bronze panels move throughout the day in response to residents' activities, creating an ever-varying opaque skin.

The bathrooms are fitted with architectural cast-concrete basins and Vola brassware. The attention to detail means that every residence feels distinct, tech-savvy, and natural.

Choosing a floor plan might be tricky, but it shouldn't be so. See 3 quick tips below to pick only the right layout for your new home.
Tip 1 — Measure it all
You might already know your desired square footage when choosing a new home. Generally, more bedrooms mean more space, which also drives up the prices.
However, modern developers offer smart floor plans so you can make better use of the space. For instance, a studio with an open floor plan can be much more efficient and affordable than a typical 1-bedroom apartment with a traditional floor plan.
Tip 2 – Go with the flow
Once you have picked one or several layouts, you need to imagine living in the space. Visualise daily activities like laundry or cooking: is it convenient? Do you have enough space?
Online interior design apps that offer 3D visualisation (many of them are free) are time-savers here. Just download the desired floor plan from 1newhomes, upload it to the website you chose, and get a 3D render to visualise living in your new home.
Tip 3 — Do not neglect flexible space
The current lifestyle dictates its own rules. That’s why you need to consider flexible space in your perfect floor plan to have room for a home office or a gym. In addition, be sure to check that your new flat has a lot of natural light. The importance of the latter goes without saying.
