King's Cross T6

This is a 27-storey slender high-rise tower for high-end student accomodation, in the heart of the King's Cross regeneration development.

The structure is a reinforced concrete frame, with flat slabs and founded on piles.

Wind-tunnel testing and finite element analysis was required to validate the lateral stability and user experience of this slender building and asymmetric architecture.
