SBM studio：哈尔科夫是一座有着150万人口的活力城市，曾经是苏联乌克兰的工业和政治中心，但如今却极度缺乏设施齐全且维护良好的社区公园绿地。

SBM studio: Kharkiv, a dynamic one-and-a-half-million-people city, a former industrial and political hub of Soviet Ukraine, had been experiencing a desperate lack of decently-equipped and well-maintained community-use parkland areas.

Sarzhyn Yar公园始建于18世纪，传统意义上是一个为附近居民提供地下饮用水的地方。这里是哈尔科夫市中心为数不多的僻静之地，人们可以躲避城市喧嚣，切换到更加宁静的生活方式之中，同时还能享受此地的自然美景。然而在项目重建之前，该地区基本上处于可怜的境地中，老旧的沥青路已经坍塌，可利用的大部分地区长满了灌木丛。

Sarzhyn Yar park, originally created in 18th century, has traditionally been a place where residents of nearby residential areas get their drinking water, coming from the underground springs. It is one of the few locations in the central part of Kharkiv, where people can hide themselves from the bustle of the city and switch to a quieter mode of being, while enjoying the natural beauty of the place. However, before the reconstruction project, the area was largely in a sorry state with old asphalt pathways crumbling away and much of the now-usable area simply overgrown with shrubs and bushes.

这片城市地块没有湖泊和河流，因此那些喜欢日光浴的人常常会在跳进流淌着冷冽泉水的石头池之后，又来到Sarzhyn Yar晒太阳。该区是首个经过翻新整修的地区，新增了更为舒适的更衣室，倾斜的墙壁还可以用来做日光浴。

There are no lakes or rivers in this part of the city, so those who love sunbathing come to Sarzhyn Yar to get tanned, often after having a plunge in one of the two stone baths with cold spring water running through. This area was the first one to undergo renovation. We also created more comfortable changing rooms with a tilted wall for sunbathing.

进一步利用水下泉是该区改善的构想之一，依托水坝系统建造人工湖，并通过将其分成小岛来保护所有树木。利用先贤的技术，用粘土覆盖湖底，同时用柳枝加固河岸，这有助于湖泊的生态友好发展，也体现了对周围自然的尊重。并且，环湖步行网络还可以供公众欣赏秀丽美景。

One idea for improving the place was utilizing the underwater spring further. A dam system allowed us to create man-made lakes and preserve all the trees by grouping them into small islands. We used the technology of our ancestors and covered the bottom of lakes with clay while strengthening the banks with willow branches. This helped us to make these lakes eco-friendly and with respect to nature around. A network of footpaths around the lakes was created for the public to enjoy the picturesque views.

由于冷泉是直接流入湖泊，这个地处峡谷的公园其温度实际上比城市其他地方要低4度。新的Sarzhyn Yar被期待着能够满足不同年龄段、不同品味、不同兴趣的公民的需求，它是该市第一个以自行车天桥为特色的场所，并采用自行车和行人分离的交通系统。靠近泉水的运动区配备了各类健身设施和柔软的橡胶泡沫地板，无论市民的体质水平如何，都是老少皆宜的。

With cold spring water directed to the lakes, the temperature in this ravine-located park is now 4 degrees lower than in the rest of the city. We wanted the new Sarzhyn Yar to cater for citizens of various age groups, tastes and interests. Sarzhyn Yar became the first place in the city to feature overpasses for bikes combined with a system of separate lanes for bikes and pedestrians. Sports areas with a range of fitness equipment and soft rubber foam floor nearby the spring are suitable for young and old, regardless of their fitness level.

两个主题式儿童游乐场是全家人休闲放松的好去处，其中一个游乐场是木制的，供孩子们探索形式和空间；另一个则以火山、洞穴、恐龙探秘、蹦床和其他活动为特色，专为年龄较大的儿童设计。

Two themed children’s playgrounds became the places where whole families can chill and have a good time. One of the playgrounds is wooden, for kids to explore shapes and space. Another one, featuring volcanos, caves, hidden dinosaurs for excavation, trampolines and other activities, was designed for older children.

最后，Sarzhyn Yar园区里延伸的路径将其连接到城市里另一个主要公园——哈尔科夫中央高尔基公园，从而将这两个区域统一为整体，供市民共享。项目在“2020年首届乌克兰国家景观建筑和园林设计大奖”和“2021年房地产市场大奖”中获得最高奖项，这是公园受到欢迎的指标体现，表明SBM为提升城市空间所做的努力得到了当地社区的认可和赞赏。

Finally, Sarzhyn Yar paths were extended to connect it to another major park of the city – Kharkiv Central Gorky Park – thus uniting these two areas in one system for the citizens to enjoy. Receiving the Grand Prix at ‘The First Ukrainian National Awards for Landscape Architecture and Garden Design 2020’ and First Place at ‘Real Estate Market Awards 2021‘ was a welcome indicator that SBM’s efforts to enhance city space were recognized and appreciated by the local community.
