Gasholder
A fully autonomous scheme for a genuinely sustainable community, providing an allotment plot for every residential unit contained within the Gasholder Triplet, giving residents the opportunity to grow their own food.
 
The King’s Cross Veggie Pods scheme makes efficient use of space by stacking the individual plots vertically, around the inner edge of the grade II listed re-located Gasholder no.8 to create a flexible, open air public venue in the centre providing a space for community events and performances.
