凯奇森社区公园
Ketcheson Neighbourhood Park
普华永道合伙公司领导了凯切森邻里公园的设计，这是一个位于不列颠哥伦比亚省里士满市绞盘村的1.6英亩的公园。凯奇森公园是一个先例性的公共公园项目，由开发商交付，由开发商/住宅层永久拥有和维护。随着城市寻找更多的公共公园空间，这通常需要在土地有限的城市中心进行昂贵的土地收购。公园在建筑物上过度建造的能力是应对这一挑战的有效途径。公园设计涉及与城市工作人员的密切接触，以确保项目符合市政要求。开发商能够提供更高水平的质量和独特性，超出了在既定公园预算内所能实现的水平。使用高质量的材料，包括石头铺路、高质量的混凝土工程和坚固的硬木，是将初始资本投资于凯切森公园以确保持续数十年的持久质量的例子。
PWL Partnership led the design for Ketcheson Neighbourhood Park, a 1.6-acre park in the Capstan Village in Richmond, British Columbia. Ketcheson Park is a precedent setting project of a public park that has been delivered by the developer and owned and maintained in perpetuity by the developer / residential strata. As cities look for additional opportunities for public park space, this often requires expensive land acquisitions in land constrained City Centres. The ability for the park to be overbuild on a structure was an effective way to address this challenge. The park design involved close engagement with City staff to ensure that the program met municipal requirements. The developer was able to deliver a heightened level of quality and uniqueness beyond what could be achieved within established park budgets. The use of high-quality materials including stone paving, high quality concrete work and robust hardwood are examples of investing the initial capital into Ketcheson park to ensure lasting quality that would last for decades to come.
公园的设计灵感来自弗雷泽河三角洲的当地河流景观，以及社区的文化和历史元素。我们的团队与风水大师密切合作，吸收东方的影响，并在公园设计中提供良好的“气”流。花园元素包括一系列被水环绕的岛屿和一个当代展馆，旨在重新诠释传统的亚洲茶馆。里士满景观的形式反映在蜿蜒的水景和绿色的开放空间中。水穿过公园，通过一系列宁静的反射池和蜿蜒的溪流将不同的空间和活动点连接起来。该公园拥有里士满丰富的亚洲遗产，樱花丛生。儿童游乐场的喷水塔是对传统宝塔的抽象。里士满历史渔业的参考反映在一个抽象的游戏元素中，其中包括一艘渔船作为攀爬结构和观景甲板。
The park’s design draws inspiration from the local riverine landscape of the Fraser River Delta, as well as cultural and historical elements from the community. Our team worked closely withaFeng Shui Master to draw eastern influences and provide good flow of ‘chi’ in the park design. The garden elements include a series of islands surrounded by water and a contemporary pavilion designed to be a reinterpretation of traditional Asian tea houses. The forms of the Richmond landscape are reflected in the sinuous water features and the green open spaces. Water weaves through the park and connects the varied spaces and activity points through a series of tranquil reflecting pools and meandering streams. The park embraces Richmond’s diverse Asian heritage with groves of blossoming Cherry trees. A water emanating tower in children’s playground is an abstraction of a traditional pagoda. References to Richmond’s historic fishery industry are reflected in an abstracted play element that include a fishing boat as a climbing structure and view deck.
普华永道合伙公司希望创造一个真正的受自然启发的亲生物空间。郁郁葱葱的植物和水景创造了一个绿色绿洲，为居民和游客都注入了一种平静、反思和欢乐的感觉——这一景观从其背景中汲取灵感，创造了一个感觉一直存在的地方。
PWL Partnership wanted to create a truly biophilic space that is inspired by nature. Lush plantings and water features create a green oasis that instil a sense of calmness, reflection and joy for both residents and visitors alike – a landscape that borrows inspiration from its context and creates a place that feels like it has always been there.
