架构师提供的文本描述。该项目是TCA与悉尼市合作开发的三个阶段1100套公寓总体计划的第一个项目，该项目是连接悉尼市中心和机场的南道林街走廊沿线这一非常重要的地点的客户。这幅土地是由州政府和市议会进行的维多利亚公园区和更广泛的绿色广场城市重建的关键部分。tca已经在这个市场部门工作了几年，在城市利益的驱动下，制定了综合性的城市项目，并在一个高度受限、超越商业环境的环境中提高了人们的生活质量。

Text description provided by the architects. This project is the first of a three stage, 1100 apartment Master Plan developed by TCA in collaboration with the City of Sydney and the client for this highly significant site along the South Dowling Street corridor connecting Central Sydney with the Airport. The site forms a key part of the Victoria Park precinct and wider Green Square Urban Redevelopment undertaken by the State Government and City Council. TCA have worked in this market sector for some years, driven by interests in cities, the making of integrated urban projects, and improving quality-of-living outcomes for people within a highly constrained, over-riding commercial context.

“总体规划”的制定方式便利了获得高水平公寓设施的机会，并为公众和居民提供了一个可阅读的街道网络和可供公众使用的庭院/花园空间。停车场位于地下，以延长地面平面通过现场，创造了高度的可及性和视觉渗透性。

The Master Plan was set out in a way that facilitated opportunities for a high level of apartment amenity, together with a legible network of streets and publicly accessible courtyard/garden spaces for the public and residents to enjoy. Car-parking was located below ground to extend the ground plane through the site, creating high levels of accessibility and visual permeability.

商业限制是这类项目和市场部门的特有性质。我们认为这是一个具有挑战性但合法的设计参数，并在不断发展我们对如何产生健壮的设计的理解，这种设计能够经受住价值工程、革新和快速建设的严格要求。这也是我们继续关注改进这种类型学与公共领域的关系的一个机会。通过在整个场地提供有用和明确的公共空间，建筑物的所有立面从公共领域可见，因此成为公共领域的一部分。这种发展规模存在着这样一种风险，即大量建筑的聚集会导致无情的特性和视觉上受到损害的公共领域。

Commercial constraints are endemic to the nature of this type of project and market sector. We see this as being a challenging but legitimate design parameter and are continually developing our understanding of how to produce robust design that is able to stand up to the rigours of value engineering, novation and rapid construction. This was also an opportunity to continue our interest in improving the way that this typology relates to the public domain. With the provision of useful and unambiguous public spaces throughout the site, all of the building’s facades become visible from and therefore a part of the public domain. There is a risk with this scale of development that an overwhelming agglomeration of buildings results in a relentless character and visually compromised public domain.

这是通过抵制一个场地范围的统一建筑部分来实现的，相反，它使单个建筑的表达与其直接的上下文相关联。这种更有活力的邻里关系产生了一些策略，比如毗邻繁忙的南十字街公路的超大规模、框架和铰接式建筑元素，北部低层外墙更精细的金属调制，以及朝西的德弗里斯大道(Defries Avenue)面对的细腻纹理和穿透力的砖墙。

This was achieved by resisting a site-wide uniform architectural parti and rather, making the expression of individual building relate to their immediate context. This more dynamic neighbourly relationship resulted in tactics such as the mega-scaled, framed and articulated architectural elements adjacent to the busy highway of Southern Cross Drive, the finer metallic modulation of the northern low rise façade, and the delicately textured and punctured masonry street wall facing Defries Avenue to the west.

这座塔的形式是通过把这个平面设计成四个垂直的元素，围绕着核心旋转而成，其中两个独特的角落元素来自于城市的南部入口和城市本身从北到城市的入口。形成这些元素的多层堆叠框具有相同的平面图，并通过旋转外壳的正面线外的砖-太阳元素来实现它们的视觉复杂性。我们认为这是在悉尼高密度住宅市场的严格商业限制下实现建筑多样性的一种成本效益设计策略。

The tower form was generated by articulation of the plan into four vertical elements pin-wheeled around the core, with two distinctive, corner elements addressing the southern portal entry to the city and the city itself from the north. The multi-level stacked boxes forming these elements have identical floor plans and achieve their visual complexity through rotation of the brise-soleil elements outside of the façade line of enclosure. We felt that this was a cost-effective design strategy for achieving architectural diversity within the rigorous commercial constraints of the Sydney high-density residential market.
