Paddington Reservoir

Paddington Reservoir is a new “Pocket Park” in Sydney that is located right down the street from where our office is at, we often go here to eat lunch. It just recently won all the AILA awards. It has a large history in that is use to supply water the all the eastern suburbs in Sydney. After it was no longer needed it was abandoned, and eventually turned in to this beautiful little park. Very simple but loads of interesting details.

  1. "loads"? picking up a bit of Australian slang? Here in America we like to say 'alot', a word that we invented ourselves. :)

    nice park.

  2. the project looks pretty interesting...it looks like they made a pretty good balance of the old and the new, preserving the history but also adding another layer
