Kingston House, Kingston upon Hull

Kingston House is a notable modernist tower block and low-rise office development located in Kingston upon Hull, England, built between 1965 and 1967. Designed by Fry, Drew and Partners, this structure features a 12-storey tower alongside a three-storey building, constructed with a concrete frame. Originally part of a larger redevelopment plan that never materialized, Kingston House has undergone various changes in use over the years, housing tenants such as Humberside County Council and Hull City Council. Despite facing criticism for its design, often labeled as an 'eyesore', the building has seen a resurgence with plans for redevelopment into a mixed-use complex named 'K2', which includes a hotel and apartments. This transformation reflects the ongoing evolution of Kingston upon Hull's architectural landscape, making it an interesting site for both tourists and researchers alike.
