n the vibrant King’s Cross, Luma is the latest boutique residence designed by the architects Squire & Partners with interiors by Conran and Partners. A place of calm, the residence is located between two urban green spaces, Lewis Cubitt Park and the Jellicoe Gardens. “Our design for Luma is centred around creating a sense of calmness and tranquillity, bringing a peaceful quality to the building which is noticeable as soon as you step inside”, says Simon Kincaid, Partner at Conran and Partners. “Once you leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind, you are immediately struck by the relaxed warmth and serenity that greets you. Taking inspiration from the history of King’s Cross, which is known as a gateway from which to escape the city, this notion of ‘escapism’ has informed much of the design and has made Luma a sanctuary in the heart of the city”. Luma offers 61 apartments, including studios and 1-bedroom apartments, with sizes increasing as the building rises, culminating in two 42 | IFDM
