Another shot from May's London Flickr Group Photowalk in and around the Kings Cross / St Pancras area.

 

Last time I saw this Coffey Architects building at 22 Handyside, just behind Coal Drops Yard it wasn't quite complete so it was good to shoot the perforated hit-and-miss facade this time around.

 

These free photowalks are usually about every 4-6 weeks so keep an eye on the group for details of upcoming events : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup

From the Kingscross.co.uk website, "22 Handyside Street is built of lightweight concrete and steel, with a façade composed of glazed curtain walling and perforated aluminium panels. These silver sections enliven the building both inside and out, with perforations artfully reflecting the trees of Handyside Gardens. The material maximises ambient light levels and reflects the colours of the London sky throughout the day. The main east/west axis along Handyside Street creates filigree moments of light at sunrise and sunset. Behind the patterned façade, its interior spaces are lit with naturally dappled light, enhancing wellbeing for those working in the building."
