财政部的庭院位于圣詹姆斯公园和白厅之间，这里的建筑风格是那种比较经典的建筑形式。整个庭院具体来说位于中央法院的内部，位于连接中央法院东区和西区的路线上。在整个设计建设上，对西边庭院部分的地面进行了一些微妙的抬升，这样就使得整个的设计规划形成了一个沿着圆弧横向和纵向的中心轴。在庭院内，人们可以处理解决大型事件和进行集会。

对于东边的庭院，通过一些基础设施的设计和建造，包括进行一些必要地绿化等，将现有的空间进行分割，分别进行设计规划，可以供人们进行户外聚会、阅读，进行一些户外的放松活动等。庭院里的树篱起到了围栏的作用，将院子分成了大大小小的几部分。在院子里，还有一条小溪，沿着周围的院子缓缓流动。在整个大的庭院里，有一个咖啡馆，还有一个图书馆，在树篱旁边，还有一些供人们休息的座位。

在西边的院子，人们希望通过规划设计，将原来的树坑和排水设施创建成为一个景观。对于树木的要求，项目建筑师和景观设计师希望加强对地面土壤的要求，能够使得所种植的树木可以长到建筑物的顶部。

he Treasury Courtyards between St. James Park and Whitehall occupies two roughly square cut outs that once served as light wells in the Treasury’s classic architectural form, the courtyards feature an east-west circulation route that that links to an interior central court. Within each courtyard the axis is intensified by a perpendicular movement, resulting in a cruciform framework that is then softened in plan. In the West Courtyard the subtle raising of the ground plane creates a causeway along the central axis that is arced horizontally and vertically. In plan view, water appears to slip beneath the causeway. For large events, the pools are drained and the dished slope is available for gatherings. A lighting trench traces the courtyard’s perimeter, strengthening the sense of transition between interior and exterior.

The East Courtyard scheme uses the device of shaped evergreen hedging to divide garden rooms for outdoor gathering, relaxing and reading. The hedges define intimate sub spaces within the larger courtyard, spaces that are activated by a narrow rill of moving water that runs along three of the courtyard’s four sides. Accommodating a stairwell, a cafe and an adjacent library, four quadrants are textured by plant beds and offer seating that is integrated into the hedges. Like its counterpart to the west, the courtyard as a whole must be entered, moved through, occupied and discovered a number of times before it is fully perceived.

Located over the top of the Cabinet War Rooms, the West Courtyard presented challenges in developing the ground plane to incorporate tree pits and drainage to create a mature landscape. In collaboration with the project architects, the landscape architects developed the ground slabs to enable sufficient planting depths for mature trees that were craned in to place over the top of the buildings. Water features with their necessary drainage, pump rooms and water treatment plants were fully integrated and coordinated with the ground slabs.
