Floral Court位于伦敦著名的科文特花园广场西北侧，围绕一个新创建的庭院，由新建及历史建筑围合而成的一个复合功能社区，其与周边城市肌理融为一体，闹中取静，成为伦敦中央城区繁华喧嚣的生活中一处静谧的避风港。
An assemblage of new and historic buildings around a new courtyard will become a new mixed-use precinct to the northwest of the Covent Garden piazza. This new destination immersed within the existing urban fabric will be something of a quiet refuge in a busy and colorful part of London.

基地的公共区域担当起了串联不同建筑及不同功能的角色，设计从这里开始着手，新建的廊道将原有封闭的内部空间与周边通道和场地联系起来。访客可沿廊道穿过从国王街十九世纪建成的联排建筑，进入郁郁葱葱的中央庭院，探索伦敦全新的时尚概念商业及餐饮。基地地面层为连续的室内外空间网络，包含翻新的店面及室内装饰。

The public realm was the starting point of the design and is intended to be the unifying element that knits together the different buildings and uses. The new passages connect the formerly inaccessible interior of the block to surrounding routes and venues. Upon emerging from a passage through a nineteenth century terrace in King Street into the treed courtyard visitors will discover an entirely new lifestyle retail and dining concept unique to London. The ground floor is a continuous network of indoor and outdoor spaces including refurbished period shop fronts and interiors.

现代建筑与不同风格、不同材质的历史建筑交织交融，营造出既新颖又与周遭环境水乳交融的氛围。在花卉街（Floral Street），一个竖向体块堆叠的建筑为最为显著，其设计灵感汲取早先市场仓库中堆叠的用来储藏水果蔬菜的板条箱。手工砖及钢架窗外墙的灵感源自周围仓库，但体量及比例极具现代感。

Contemporary architecture is interwoven with historic buildings of varied styles and materials, creating an environment that feels both new and completely integrated with the surroundings. In Floral Street, a vertical folly inspired by the stacked crates of the working warehouses of the former market will be its most prominent architectural feature. Facades of handmade brick and steel framed windows were inspired by the surrounding warehouses but are distinctly modern in scale and proportion.

六栋大楼内设有45间公寓，其中三栋是保护建筑，KPF的服务范围包含住宅室内设计。在公用地下室中，设有集中动力间，布置有动力设施以及与六栋大楼联通的管线设施。这套全面集成的开发模式将Floral Court打造成保护区内可持续生活方式的新典范。
45 apartments occupy six different buildings, three of which are listed. KPF’s scope included the design of residential interiors: contemporary in Floral Street to complement the new architecture and period restorations in the King Street terraces. A unified basement houses a central plant, distributes utilities and provides below-grade servicing links to the six buildings. This fully-integrated model of development makes Floral Court a new model for sustainable living in a conservation area.
