Chapter Kings Cross

Description

Situated in the cultural heart of Kings Cross, this new student accommodation provides a unique living experience for students in London, providing unrivalled amenities and customer service. Solus worked with Tigg + Coll Architects to supply a vast mosaic feature floor and various other ancillary tile ranges to this fantastic project.

Tiles Used

The designers used various elements and designs from the Capital range to create their bespoke mosaic design as well as tiles from the Illustrate range.

Outcome

Tigg + Coll Architects were appointed to reimagine 20,000 sq ft of extensive common spaces that exist within and throughout the Chapter Kings Cross site for Greystar, a leading US real estate company.

The project delivers a more inclusive reception space and arrival hall, new communal study and social areas, a gym, a modern screening room and ancillary facilities.

The design of the refurbishment echoes the local character of the area, drawing inspiration from the industrial heritage of the iconic Kings Cross Station. The main arrival hall has been stripped back to reveal the original concrete and steel structure and then layered with premium finishes and furniture including ceramic tiles, wall panelling and mosaic flooring.

Solus were delighted to work with the architects to supply the mosaic tiles that were used throughout the public spaces. The central part of the bespoke pattern was made up of white, black and red hexagon porcelain pieces and finished with a square serpentine border. The upper floor cafe was finished with floor tiles from the terracotta influenced Illustrate range. The cafe utilised both a patterned and plain floor tile to create a defined space for communal interaction.
