设计融合与创新：卡佩拉大厦巧妙地融合了社会和市场住宅，位于国王十字车站总体规划的核心。其立面设计运用奶油色和绿色三种关键材料，创造出具有强烈个性的外观。这种设计不仅体现了对周边环境的深思熟虑，还与相邻的Luma建筑在色调上形成呼应，同时与公园周围以深色为主的色调形成对比，展现出独特的设计创新。建筑的“L”形结构容纳了从单间公寓到四居室家庭公寓的多种类型，包括复式和错层公寓，这种多样性在东向公园的立面上得到体现，阳台的节奏和深度变化反映了不同户型的规划，展现了设计的灵活性和适应性。

空间布局与功能：卡佩拉大厦的空间布局高效且合理。建筑共14层，提供120个市场公寓和56个社会租赁公寓，一楼设有三个零售单元和租户设施。内部设计注重从入口到每套公寓的清晰、愉悦的路径，公寓平面图简单易用，享有最佳景观。外部设计则呈现出一种连贯的、不考虑使用权的组合，回应了建筑的每个部分，不仅有助于当地的场所营造，还对整个国王十字车站的发展起到了推动作用。此外，建筑的北面和南面立面设计各有特色，北面被框架立面环绕，南面则交错排列，确保每个公寓都能欣赏到刘易斯·库比特公园的美景。

细节与品质：卡佩拉大厦在细节处理上展现了高品质。立面的奶油色砖、白色阳台和浅绿色正弦表面混凝土面板等材料的选择，不仅在视觉上给人以美感，还与周边环境和谐共存。建筑的垂直和水平平衡在立面构成中得到体现，砖石墩的重量和节奏与白色预制阳台的对比线条相得益彰。内部的33种不同公寓类型都通向超过最小尺寸要求的阳台或露台，提供了宽敞的户外空间。此外，市场公寓和一楼租户设施的空间规划和室内设计由Johnson Naylor负责，两个公寓类型都可以共享一个260平方米的种植屋顶花园，进一步提升了居住品质和社区的凝聚力。

建筑师提供的文字描述卡佩拉位于国王十字车站总体规划的中心，融合了社会和市场住宅，为伦敦最令人兴奋的街区之一的城市公园生活提供了一个场所。三种关键材料，奶油色和绿色，被用来创造一个经过深思熟虑的立面，并具有强烈的个性。这座完工的建筑是我们参与国王十字车站发展二十年的一个重要里程碑。
Text description provided by the architects. With a mix of social and market homes at the heart of the King's Cross masterplan, Capella provides a place for urban parkside living in one of London's most exciting neighborhoods. Three key materials, cream and green, have been employed to create a carefully considered facade with its own strong identity. The completed building is an important milestone in our twenty-year involvement in the evolution of King's Cross.

Ground Floor Plan

卡佩拉是国王十字车站最后完工的住宅楼之一。它加入了一系列建筑风格兼收并蓄的住宅建筑，这些建筑围绕总体规划北侧的Lewis Cubitt公园而建。卡佩拉是一栋混合所有制公寓楼，一楼有三个零售单元和租户设施，共14层，提供120个市场和56个社会租赁公寓。相邻的建筑在风格和材料上可能各不相同，但它们就像一个家庭；总体规划参数规划如何运作的一个很好的例子不是规定风格，而是影响体量、方向和正面。卡佩拉对刘易斯·库比特公园背景的物质回应是具体而深思熟虑的。立面的奶油色砖、白色阳台和浅绿色正弦表面混凝土面板与斜对面Luma建筑的浅色立面色调相呼应，与公园周围以深色为主的色调形成对比。
Capella is one of the last building residential buildings to complete in King's Cross. It joins an architecturally eclectic collection of residential buildings, grouped around Lewis Cubitt Park on the northern side of the masterplan. A mixed tenure apartment building with three retail units and tenant amenity on the ground floor, Capella provides 120 market and 56 socially rented flats across 14 storeys. The neighboring buildings may be stylistically and materially varied yet they function as a family; a good example of how the masterplan's parameter plans work is not to dictate style but rather influence massing, orientation, and frontages. Capella's material response to the Lewis Cubitt Park context is specific and deliberate. The cream brick, white balconies, and light green sinusoidal surfaced concrete panels of the facade nod to the light elevational tone of the Luma building diagonally opposite and act as a counterpoint to the otherwise predominantly dark palette around the park.

这座“L”形建筑拥有各种公寓类型，从单间公寓到四居室家庭公寓，包括复式和错层公寓。这种多样性体现在公园朝东的立面构成上，阳台节奏调整以反映两层楼规划的公寓，一系列更深的L形阳台连接到一层半的公寓上。立面构成的垂直和水平平衡体现在从建筑高度上升的砖石墩的重量和节奏上，以及每三层楼的白色预制阳台的对比线条上。这个三倍高度的订单包含中间和更精致的白色金属阳台，这些阳台突出在橄榄绿色的窗框前，窗框由浅绿色的混凝土面板隔开。
The 'L' shaped building hosts a variety of apartment types ranging from single studios to four-bedroomed family apartments, including duplexes and split levels. This variety manifests itself in the facade composition facing east across the park, where the balcony rhythm adjusts to reflect the apartments planned over two floors, and a series of deeper L-shaped balconies are attached to the one-and-a-half-height apartments. The vertical and horizontal balance of the facade composition is described in the weight and rhythm of the masonry piers rising through the height of the building, and the contrasting lines of white precast balconies which complete every third floor. This triple height order contains the intermediate and more delicate white metal balconies which project in front of the olive green colored window frames separated by light green concrete panels.

在建筑的北面，阳台立面被Chilton广场和Keskidee广场的框架立面所环绕。同时，九层朝南的立面交错排列，使这里的每个公寓都能向东看到刘易斯·库比特公园的景色。十二楼的顶部是五栋两层楼的房子，上面有私人屋顶花园，可以清晰地勾勒出天际线。在内部，两个大厅的电梯和楼梯通往简单的双载公寓布局，从宽阔的走廊进入，在可能的情况下，走廊是白天的。33种不同的公寓类型都通向阳台或露台，这些阳台或露台往往超过了所需的最小尺寸。Johnson Naylor负责市场公寓和一楼租户设施的空间规划和室内设计。这两个公寓都可以使用并共享一个260平方米的种植屋顶花园。
To the building's north a balconied facade is bookended by the framed elevations on Chilton Square and Keskidee Square. The nine-storey south-facing facade meanwhile is staggered to give each of the flats here a view east towards Lewis Cubitt Park. The twelfth floor is topped with five two-storey houses with private roof top gardens that articulate the skyline. Inside, the lifts and stairs from the two lobbies lead to simple double-loaded apartment layouts accessed from wide corridors which, where possible, are daylit. The 33 different apartment types all lead to balconies or terraces which often exceed the minimum required dimensions. Johnson Naylor is responsible for the spatial planning and interior design of the market apartments and ground-floor tenant amenities. Both tenures have access to and share a 260-square-metre planted roof garden.

尽管该建筑的规划合理高效，但建筑形式和立面却有意地风景如画。内部设计旨在从前门和大厅到每套公寓都有一条清晰而愉快的路线，一旦进入，提供简单、易于使用、享有最佳景观的公寓平面图。外部设计旨在提供一种连贯的、不考虑使用权的组合，以回应建筑的每个部分，不仅有助于当地的场所营造，而且有助于整个国王十字车站。
Though the building's plan is rational and efficient, the building form and its facades are intentionally picturesque. The interior is planned to make a clear and pleasant route from the front door and lobby to each apartment and, once inside, provide apartment plans that are straightforward, easy to use and enjoy the best possible views. The outside is intended to offer a cohesive tenure-blind composition which responds to each part of the building's context and contributes not just to local placemaking but to King's Cross as a whole.
