Burlington Arcade owner Meyer Bergman has been busy attracting a smart new team of tenants to the historic London retail landmark - including Chanel Beaute, Eres, Maison Michel, Barrie and Frederic Malle - and have also been working with London architect Jamie Fobert, on a spectacular new floor

在新邦德街和皇家学院之间，从皮卡迪利到伯灵顿花园，伦敦的伯灵顿拱廊是一个华丽的零售业史。

这座由塞缪尔·瓦尔(SamuelWare)设计、建造于1819年的有盖画廊在其196年的历史中多次被重建和更新，但尽管如此，它的外观基本没有改变；复杂而详细的拱门横跨整个展区(超过两个足球场-长)，将17个海湾分隔开来，而光线则穿过拱形玻璃天花板。

为了保住伯灵顿的命运，它的主人Meyer Bergman一直在忙着吸引一批新的租户——Chanel Beaute、埃尔斯、Maison Michel、Barrie和Frederic Malle都已经开店了，而且还和伦敦建筑师Jamie Fobert合作过一个壮观的新F。洛尔。

2011年，彼得·马里诺提出的一项光鲜但注定失败的提案引发了零售商和消费者的强烈抗议。地板由数千块复杂的黑色英国石头制成-包括伯灵顿石板(Burlington Slate Cumbria)、摩尔克罗夫特·萨默塞特(Moorcroft Somerset)、阿什伯顿·德文(Ashburton Devon)和梅迪普·大理石·萨默塞特(Mendip Marble Somerset)-地板从拱廊建筑的“这是一个很好的机会。”

经过几个月的详细研究和实验，福伯特解决了一个有节奏的、互锁的、三维的设计，反映了拱廊和烧烤工作中弧形的曲线形式的多样性。石头被切割和干燥铺设在意大利——唯一一个拥有专业技术和激光技术的国家——在被运往伦敦并由都铎石雕铺设之前。一个复杂而微妙的设计，黑暗石匠设法奉承所有现有的店面，出现蓝色，绿色，棕色和红色一下子。

我真正喜欢的是我们的作品含糊不清。如果我们做一些真正现代化的事情，它将与周围的环境形成鲜明的对比。“如果人们走进来，他们甚至没有注意到这一点，那对我来说将是完美的。”地板不应该和拱廊竞争，它的存在只是为了让它感觉更豪华。

除了先进的防滑涂层外，新地板的另一个实际好处是取消台阶入口，该入口已经被平缓倾斜的斜坡所取代，但是已经证明是伯灵顿最忠诚的客户之一的生活改变之一，
现在谁能每天把她的轮椅操纵到拱廊完全不受帮助。

Tucked between New Bond Street and the Royal Academy, running from Piccadilly through to Burlington Gardens, London’s Burlington Arcade is an ornate slice of retail history

The covered gallery, designed by Samuel Ware and built in 1819, has been rebuilt and updated many times over the course of its 196-year existence but despite this, its appearance has remained largely unchanged; intricately-detailed arches span its entire length separating each of its 17 bays, while light floods in through a vaulted glass ceiling

Originally paved with thick austere slabs of York stone, the arcade’s floor was replaced in the 1960s and then the 1990s with a somewhat jarring terrazzo tile. Then in 2011, a glossy, but doomed proposal by Peter Marino provoked an outpouring of protest from retailers and customers

‘Our goal was to design a floor that was contemporary on one hand but also grew out of the history of the place,’ says Fobert of his spiraling new design

Paper artist Zoe Bradley has created two floral chandelier installations handcrafted from paper that are currently on display in the Arcade

Made from thousands of intricately cut pieces of dark British stone - comprising Burlington Slate Cumbria, Moorcroft Somerset, Ashburton Devon and Mendip Marble Somerset - the floor takes its design cues from the geometry of the arcade’s architecture and various 19th century British floor patterns

‘It’s such a bizarre proposition for an architect to be asked to work with a space that’s 4 x 220 metres, and to do just a floor,’ says Fobert. ‘It was a great opportunity'
