肯辛顿大街
Kensington Street

草坪设计工作室&杰普·阿加德·安徒生：肯辛顿街是格林利夫执行主席斯坦利·奎克博士和弗雷泽·地产澳大利亚的愿景；首先定义在中央公园公共领域总计划中。这条街提供了巨大的可能性——由悉尼最古老的工人小屋、露台和仓库组成的建筑结构。作为景观设计师和都市主义者，我们如何重新想象这条街？我们怎样才能在街上独特的故事上建造这样一个新的悉尼？
Turf Design Studio & Jeppe Aagaard Andersen: Kensington Street is the vision of Greencliff Executive Chairman Dr Stanley Quek and Frasers Property Australia; first defined in the Central Park public domain masterplan. The street offered immense possibilities – a built fabric comprised of some of Sydney’s oldest workers cottages, terraces and warehouses. As landscape architects and urbanists how could we reimagine the street? How could we build on the street’s unique story and in so doing make a new Sydney place?

第一要务是它的物理连接——一系列通往新兴中央公园区的通行链接在将街道重新缝合成奇本德尔（Chippendale）的结构（位于悉尼市中心的CBD）中至关重要。与此同时，一个沸腾的过程——仔细地了解街道的历史和许多传统品质。然后剥离回来-去除那些不属于其内在精神的元素。最后，小心地增加照明、树木、座椅和地面平面，这些公共领域基础设施适合于需要。我们的目的是轻描淡写，但要果断地从旧事物中锻造出新的东西。
The first imperative was its physical connection – a series of thru-site links to the emerging Central Park precinct were vital in stitching the street back into the fabric of Chippendale, in Sydney’s downtown CBD. In parallel, a process of boiling down – carefully understanding the history and many heritage qualities of the street. Then came stripping back – removing those elements not intrinsic to its spirit of place. Finally, carefully adding in – lighting, trees, seats and ground plane – the public domain infrastructure required as fit for purpose. We aimed to touch lightly but decisively in forging something new from old.

Greencliff对肯辛顿街有一个明确的愿景。奎克博士说：“当格林利夫购买肯辛顿街具有历史意义的工人小屋和仓库时，我们的目标是重新激活沿街的遗址建筑，并将它们重新开发成当代的食物、生活方式、艺术和商业活动。”肯辛顿街的公共领域通过以下关键领域展示领导力：
Greencliff had a definitive vision for Kensington Street. “When Greencliff purchased Kensington Street’s historic worker’s cottages and warehouses, our vision was to reactivate the heritage buildings along the street and redevelop them for contemporary food, lifestyle, artistic and commercial endeavours,” Dr Quek said. Kensington Street’s public realm demonstrates leadership through the following key areas:

Placemaking

景观设计师是城市建设的重要贡献者。我们在城市设计、环境、社区和基础设施方面的混合知识使我们的专业在联系人和地方方面独树一帜。在肯辛顿大街，我们的任务是为生活建造一条坚固而真实的街道，在那里，设计师的手在很大程度上是看不见的。
Landscape Architects are a key contributor in the making of cities. Our blended knowledge of urban design, environment, community and infrastructure makes our profession unique in connecting people and place. In Kensington Street our role was to make a robust and authentic street for living, where the hand of the designer remains largely unseen.

创建共享区
Creating a shared zone

设计团队开发了一种“共享街道”的方法，将汽车集中在行人为中心的环境中。这条街道为驾车者提供了一系列微妙的身体和视觉约束，旨在鼓励慢速驾驶。中央花岗岩排水沟、松动的树木大道、护柱（由RMS授权）和铺路都结合起来限制车辆的移动和停车。
The design team developed a ‘shared street’ approach, integrating cars within a pedestrian-focused environment. The street presents motorists with a succession of subtle physical and visual restraints designed to encourage slow driving. A central, granite dish drain, loose avenue of trees, bollards (mandated by RMS) and paving all combine to constrain vehicular movement and parking.

与建筑师合作
Collaboration with architects

设计团队与Tonkin Zulaikha Greer和遗产建筑师合作，将公共领域的语言与建筑形式的遗产仔细地融合在一起。工人阶级的露台立面已经被保留和修复，这是在街上保留遗产价值的一项重大举措。老克莱尔酒店经过了重大翻修，经过精心的适应性再利用，已与前卡尔顿联合行政大楼联手，由未上市的集合酒店改造成五星级酒店。
The design team worked with Tonkin Zulaikha Greer and heritage architects to carefully blend the language of the public realm with the heritage of the built form. Working class terrace facades have been retained and restored; a significant initiative in retaining heritage value in the street. The Old Clare Hotel has undergone a major overhaul and through careful adaptive reuse, has joined with the former Carlton United Administration Building to transform into a 5-star hotel by Unlisted Collection.

保持遗址的传统品质
Retaining the site’s heritage qualities

原始粗面岩路边已被保存和恢复其原来的对齐-一个微妙的棕榈在新的砖地面平面定制波瓦尔砖，以敬意其当地遗产。肯辛顿街高度创新的设计和精心实施的遗产适应性再利用战略，使悉尼最古老的街道之一重新焕发活力，成为新的公共场所，有助于不断发展的街道类型城市。这个地方是一个活动蜂巢，从清晨到深夜，各种年龄和背景的人们蜂拥而至，探索街道的创意空间、餐饮和文化用品。
Original trachyte kerbing has been preserved and reinstated on its original alignment – a subtle palimpsest within the new brick ground plane of bespoke Bowral brick that pays homage to its local heritage. Kensington Street’s highly innovative design and carefully executed heritage adaptive reuse strategy has revitalised one of Sydney’s oldest streets into a vibrant new public place that contributes to the evolving street typology of the city. The place is a hive of activity, buzzing from the early morning until late at night with people of all ages and backgrounds exploring the street’s creative spaces, dining and cultural offerings.
