Panorama view of Coal Drops Yard, with its Inception-style roofs, is a retail development in the King's Cross Central scheme in London
Heatherwick Studio was responsible for the architectural transformation of Coal Drops Yard; taking two 1850s coal sheds, which formerly housed the once-indispensable source of fuel until it was ready to be delivered across Victorian London, and joining them together with a majestic curving roof. Heatherwick's design extends the two buildings and two viaducts also on the site with massive new roofs that project outwards and meet in mid-air. The large roofs create additional retail space, as well as a covered outdoor area below. Elsewhere, the shopping center includes restaurants, bars, and cafes.
