Abstract
The article presents the architectural design conceptualized by Hakes Associates for the King's Cross railroad station in London, England. Combined with pedestrian traffic to and from King's Cross, this would result in a considerable number of people moving around the area at peak times, through a disproportionately narrow street which is further pressurized by the addition of a tram stop. The vertical block-form subdivision allows for an economic approach to both floor plate and building procurement.
