Embracing spring and sustainable comfort at Granary Square

 

The Challenge


How do we transform the Granary Square canal steps at the King’s Cross site into a welcoming social space, fostering connections and comfort as we transition out of social distancing measures and into the summer season?


Insight and Ambition


We aimed to transform the Granary Square canal steps into a serene, garden-like space, fostering comfortable reconnection after social distancing. Inspired by seasonal changes and the energy of spring, our design encourages socially distanced gatherings while blending nature and community. Sustainability was prioritized to ensure lasting integrity, reflecting our commitment to enduring spaces.


Highlights
