Latitude Architects has won planning permission from Camden Council for a £13 million internal reconstruction of the grade II listed Lighthouse Building in King’s Cross, London.
The building, which formerly housed offices and shops at ground level, has been empty for 20 years and has appeared on English Heritage’s buildings at risk register.
Latitude’s scheme retains the building’s listed facade and creates 2,000sq m of offices, with 900sq m of retail and restaurant space on the ground floor.
A new stepped and vaulted zinc roof will accommodate a new floor for the building, and has led to the design being called a “hunchback armadillo”.
Developers UK Real Estate, Latitude and The London Planning Practice have been negotiating with English Heritage and Camden Council for more than 18 months to develop the design.
