 Mossessian Architecture plans building from Armenian tuff in London September 5, 2017 - 11:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Mossessian Architecture has lodged plans for a new office building in King’s Cross, central London to be built from Armenian tuff, The Architects' Journal reports. The proposals include a 26,172m², eleven-storey office block – called S1 – on the corner of Handyside Street and Canal Reach, with a roof terrace as well as restaurants and shops at ground level. Backed by Argent, the new proposal accompanies another office scheme by Mossessian Architecture known as S2 which is on site nearby and is set to complete in Autumn 2018. That block has already been pre-let to DeepMind Technologies, a Google-owned artificial intelligence company. Both buildings will be clad in tuff stone – a black volcanic lava stone from Armenia. Michel Mossessian, founder of Mossessian Architecture said: ’King’s Cross is one of today’s templates for urban placemaking, so our priority was to develop spaces that both convey a strong identity and continuum with the public realm. Subject to planning approval, S1 is expected to start on site in December 2017.
