A Slice of Manhattan in London

Kings Cross, London

Haven of luxe living and timeless design

An ode to classic city living – these CGI renders of York Central show how an iconic urban skyline can be the ultimate canvas. Spacious dimensions, abundant natural light and Art-Deco-industrial motifs give off a Manhattan-esque aesthetic that is both high-luxe and nuanced for this impressive lateral apartment.

Cultivated to perfection via large Crittall windows bathe the substantial York Central living area in natural light, enabling an easy flow to a spacious private terrace beyond. The London skyline draws the eye, making the spacious aesthetic seem almost limitless.

Throughout, minimal furnishings, richly muted colours and subtle design additions showcase the building’s original features including its high ceilings, generous footprint and strikingly curved interior spaces. A light, earthy tone with a hint of gold adorns the walls, enhancing the dimensions of the apartment while retaining a sense of warmth and preventing it from seeming cold or clinical.

The kitchen, in particular, is given a dose of Art-Deco allure via a bronze light fixture which hangs majestically over the table while smaller hanging spotlights emphasise a sense of the industrial. The chairs around the kitchen table sport a straw-like addition, bringing a softer, warmer texture to this harder-edged space.

A Mix of Earthy Tones

While a chic fusion of industrial and Art-Deco design dominates, earthy and natural colour notes and textures follow too, which keep it inviting. This is seen in the walnut brown flooring, dark olive green hanging curtains, and creamy boucle-style armchairs and sofa in the living area, which denote warmth and bring the green vista of the London treetops inside.

The story of warm and inviting tones continues in the inviting principal bedroom where richly contrasting wooden textures, such as the built-in wardrobe, flooring, side tables. The undulating design and table lamps ground the space and complement the greenery seen beyond the striking Crittall windows.

This is York Central – a luscious, lateral space where original features and clever design additions combine to create a Manhattan-inspired apartment that is definitively London.
