TZG和JMD受委托将帕丁顿蓄水池改造成城市公园，公众普遍希望将场地封顶，并在顶部新建景观。然而建筑师着迷于暴露19世纪的残骸，使人们可以漫步其中，穿过墙壁和拱券遗迹，感受光影绰绰和戏剧化的空间。帕丁顿蓄水池是重要的国家遗产，曾经分两个阶段建造，分别于1866年和1878年竣工。蓄水池于1899年停用，后用作车间和车库，直到1990年其屋顶坍塌，被迫关闭。储水室位于街道平面之下，上方是草地公园，于1990年对公众开放。
When TZG and JMD were commissioned to convert the Paddington Reservoir into an urban park, the general expectation was that the site would be capped off and a brand new arrangement built on top. However, we were captivated by the possibilities of revealing the 19th century structures as a ruin through which members of the public could wander, taking in the dramatic spaces and play of light across the remnants of historic walls and vaults. Listed as a site of state heritage significance, the Paddington Reservoir was originally constructed in two stages, completed in 1866 and 1878. The operational life of the reservoir ceased in 1899 and the site was used as a workshop and garage until 1990 when roof collapses forced its closure. The water chambers were built below street level with a grassed park above, opened to the public in the 1930’s.

两个轻型屋面漂浮在蓄水池上方，标志着公园的主入口，它们的轻盈感与砖石拱券的坚硬质感形成对比，而交错的金属网巧妙地借鉴了古老砖石结构的接缝。
Two lightweight roofs float above the reservoir, signalling the main entry points to the park. The lightness of the roofs act as a counterpoint to the solid earthiness of the masonry vaults, while there is a whimsical reference to the older masonry mortar joints in the staggered pattern of the metal grid.

现有的人造景观体现了该项目的理念。可进入的下沉花园和水池被预制混凝土板包围，中间保留蓄水室遗留的残骸。残骸边缘由混凝土支撑，突出了原始砖拱的独特曲线造型。基地内维多利亚时代的树蕨花园暗示了蓄水池的始建时代。
We believed the concept for the project was embodied in the existing artefact. An accessible sunken garden and pond, surrounded by a raised pre-cast concrete boardwalk, has been inserted within the conserved ruin of the western chamber of the former reservoir. The edges of the ruin are contained by concrete up-stands in such a way as to amplify the distinctive curved characteristics of the original brick vaults. The Victorian tree-fern garden hints at the era in which the Reservoir was originally built.

建筑师保留了东侧的蓄水室，设置新木柱并覆盖防水混凝土结构，加固了砖墙，为上面的新景观提供基础。
The eastern chamber has been conserved with new timber columns and a waterproof concrete structure over, stabilising the brickwork and forming the base for the new landscaped park above.

该项目使用少量钢、铝和混凝土搭配历史悠久的砖、铸铁和木材，具有统一的工业表现形式。它们很好地维持了蓄水池的原始场景，其质感也因植物变得柔和，隐藏在街道中的开放入口邀请人们探索整个公园。
A restricted pallet of three materials – steel, aluminium and concrete were chosen as contemporary partners for the historic brick, cast iron and timber, united as they are in their raw industrial expression. This quality, crucial to sustaining the memory of the original purpose of the structure, is softened by the status given to the planting and also by the overt invitation, implicit in the walkways, to explore the whole park.
