New Ludgate

Gustafson Porter+Bowman：在地面上，Gustafson Porter+Bowman在新Ludgate的公共领域景观设计旨在将新开发与周围的城市结构和特征无缝地结合起来。这是通过精细的景观细节和饰面实现的，这些细节和饰面加强了平稳过渡，并促进了这一新公共空间在紧凑的城市场地中的使用。老贝利上的一个小广场标志着一条东西通道的入口，该通道将老贝利与利梅伯恩巷连接起来。这条新路线让人想起了伦敦市内类似的隐蔽通道，它们创造了意想不到的捷径。它标志着从传统的约克斯通（Yorkstone）路面过渡到广场和通道中的深色花岗岩。这一变化采用了大胆的几何铺路图案，灵感来自时装设计师亚历山大·麦奎因（Alexander McQueen）和20世纪艺术家M。C埃舍尔。这种铺路模式的设计和开发需要与更广泛的施工团队密切联系和合作。
Gustafson Porter + Bowman: At ground level, Gustafson Porter + Bowman’s landscape design for the public realm at New Ludgate seeks to tie the new development seamlessly into the surrounding urban fabric and character. This is achieved by fine landscape details and finishes which reinforce the smooth transition and facilitate the use of this new public space in a tight urban site. A small piazzetta on Old Bailey marks the entrance to a West-East passageway which links Old Bailey to Limeburner Lane. This new route recalls similar hidden passageways throughout the City of London which create unexpected shortcuts. It marks a transition from the traditional pavement of Yorkstone to a dark granite in the piazza and passageway. This change is made with a bold geometric paving pattern which takes inspiration from fashion designer Alexander McQueen and the 20th century artist M. C. Escher. The design and development of this paving pattern required close contact and collaboration with the wider construction team.

此外，在开发区的第五层，Gustafson Porter+Bowman开发了一个大的朝南屋顶平台，可利用白天的阳光。密集种植方案的高度各不相同，对应于凸起花坛口袋的低调配色方案，花坛包裹在蜿蜒的白色科里安长凳中。无论是不显眼的还是雕塑般的，它的形状继续环绕着露台的边缘，而其不同的高度创造了充足的土壤深度。种植床的设计提供了两条通道，有助于建筑使用者欣赏圣保罗和伦敦城以外的壮观景色。
Additionally, on the development’s fifth floor, Gustafson Porter + Bowman developed a large south-facing roof terrace which benefits from day-long sunlight. A dense planting scheme varies in height and corresponds to an understated colour scheme for pockets of the raised flower bed, which is wrapped in a sinuous white Corian bench. Both inconspicuous and sculptural, its form continues to wrap around the very edges of the terrace whilst its varied height creates ample soil depth. The design of the planting bed allows for two channels which aid spectacular views for the building’s users to St Paul’s and the City of London beyond.

新路德盖特五楼露台上的植物是由多年生植物组成的色彩斑斓的带状植物，与松散、自然排列的观赏草混合在一起。植物按颜色和形状分类。黄色开花的常绿大戟的条纹与刺桐属、海棠属和紫菀属的高蓝色开花穗状花序形成对比，而开花的百里香的低矮小丘与葱属的高大紫色球形成对比。它们都被高大的观赏草的羽状物所环绕。混合使用低矮和高大的多年生植物和草地，在屋顶露台的天然绿洲和直接的城市环境之间提供了一个可渗透的边界。
The planting on New Ludgate’s fifth-floor terrace is comprised of colourful bands of perennial plants mixed with ornamental grasses in loose, natural arrangements. Plants are grouped together according to colour and form. Bands of yellow flowering evergreen Euphorbias contrast with the tall blue flowering spikes of Erynginum, Echinopsis and Aster, while low hummocks of flowering Thyme are seen against the towering purple balls of Alliums. All are framed by the plumes of tall ornamental grasses. Using a mix of low and taller perennials and grasses provides a permeable boundary between the natural oasis of the roof terrace and its immediate urban context.

“Both spaces seek to normalise the hectic energy of central London, and embody a belief that a small-scale space with high-quality materials and refined detailing can enhance the public realm, thus creating an intimate space within the heart of the city that everybody can use.”
