- The Kings Place development designed by Dixon Jones Architects and managed by Sir Robert McAlpine, is a prestigious split commercial and art centre sited on the Regents Canal in Kings cross. The Now HQ of The guardian and the home of the London Orchestra involved the full externally works to the area surrounding the building and the Camden Boundary highway on York Way.
- The work consisted of over 1200sqm of Yorkstone paving with associated tegula paving to form this beautiful hard landscaped public space.
- Maylim Ltd’s work included full site clearance, installation of Aco/Wade slot drainage all accurately placed to complement the paving around the site. We worked closely with the other trades to install a full concrete sub strata and associated retaining walls and access ramps to this limited access and confined site. Access by only one area meant close co-ordination of other trades whilst completing works in full as we worked our way out of the site.
- Our works extended to the full paving of the works including the 106 works comprising of 600sqm of conservation paving and associated drainage and kerb alteration.
- In addition to the external works, our works also included the reconstruction of the Camden Highway footway along the busy York Way including working in conjunction with the utility companies diverting and installing new services to the development. Our works was completed with the installation of the associated street furniture.
