由ASPECT Studio與Lyons建筑事務所共同打造的墨爾本Prahran廣場于不久前建成開放，目前已成為Stonnington市居民、商旅、游客的首選購物及文化休閑目的地。作為墨爾本有史以來最大的公共空間之一，Prahran廣場在規(guī)模和級別上可與世界級的著名城市廣場相媲美。
Prahran Square, designed by ASPECT Studios and Lyons Architecture, is an iconic cultural and recreational destination for residents, traders, shoppers and visitors to Stonnington, with spaces which can be used for a variety of purposes ranging from quiet contemplation to vibrant community events.
這個多功能城市廣場改造項目于2018年由Stonnington市政府主導發(fā)起，占地約10000平方米，總耗資約6000萬美元，包含了一個新的多層地下停車場。項目將原來的Cato街道停車場打造成了一個集地標、文化、休閑、購物為一體的公共開放空間，煥發(fā)了社區(qū)活力。
The project is a $60 million transformation of the old Cato Street car park in Prahran into a 10,000m² multifunctional urban square coupled with a new multi-level underground carpark. This world-class urban public space is similar in scale and prominence to some of the world’s most famous urban squares and is one of the largest ever created in Melbourne.
Prahran廣場的建成為Prahran周邊提供了迫切需要的靜態(tài)休閑、活動、節(jié)日慶典和商業(yè)開放空間，并為周邊的小教堂和Greville街區(qū)的購物者及零售商增加了20%的停車位。
The project is one of the largest, most ambitious and exciting construction projects ever delivered in the City of Stonnington. The square provides urgently needed open space for passive recreation, events, festivals and markets in Prahran as well as 20 percent more parking spaces for shoppers and retailers in the surrounding Chapel and Greville Street precincts.
