We thought of how doorways, niches and thresholds of buildings are good places to linger in and made a deep arcade between our hall and the square. We painted it red as like the phone box it is a public room in the city. Caught somewhere between furniture and infrastructure.
We offer it to the people of London to make of it what they will. We hope that its temporary life might produce some lasting memories in these new spaces of King’s Cross.
