帕丁顿水库
Paddington Reservoir

JMD设计：该项目将一个废弃的19世纪的水库改造成了悉尼市郊的一个公共花园。该项目试图潜移默化地培养和维持地下结构中的奇怪气氛。这种气氛源于这样一个简单的事实，即该建筑从来不是供人类居住的，相反，它的逻辑反映了现在缺乏的大量水，其涨落压缩了黑暗水面和拱形砖铁天花板之间任何可占用的体积。
JMD design: The project converted a disused 19th Century reservoir into a public garden in an inner city suburb of Sydney. The project sought to subtly foster and maintain the strange atmosphere found in the subterranean structure. An atmosphere that arose from the simple fact that the structure was never intended for human occupation, rather its logic reflects the now absent mass of water whose ebb and flow compressed any occupiable volume between the dark surface of the water and the vaulted brick and iron ceiling.

Paddington Reservoir

一个下沉的花园占据了水库西侧的两个房间。其中一个种植了一种纹理丰富的植物，让人想起维多利亚时代的种植；另一个稍微抬高，在草坪上种植了一棵树胶树。在这两个花园的中心，在一个拱形屋顶的残片下，一个黑暗的池塘反射着一切。
A sunken garden occupies the two western chambers of the reservoir. One inaccessible planted with a palette of highly textured plants reminiscent of a Victorian era planting, the other slightly raised and planted with a single gum tree in a lawn. At the centre of these two gardens, under a remnant piece of vaulted roof, a dark pond reflects all.

On the roof of the western chamber a lawn is cut by a path whose alignment and materiality reflects the geometry of the vaults below, as though the original fabric of the reservoir has seeped upwards and stained the surface of the new park.
