Stereo 公园景观丨俄罗斯丨UTRO architectural studio

Stereo公园位于索契市中心，是当地居民珍视的地标，与历史景点附近的主要旅游路线相交汇。该项目由UTRO工作室设计，主要目标是将该区域从交通枢纽转变为人们愿意驻足的好去处。

The Stereo park is a cherished landmark for the city’s residents situated at the heart of downtown, intersecting key tourist routes near historic attractions. The architects of the project is the UTRO studio. The primary goal of the landscape project was to transform the area from a transit zone into a welcoming place where people would want to linger.

公园的中心伫立着作家Nikolai Ostrovsky的塑像。围绕着雕像设计有连续的花园，这里根据花开的季节性种满了玫瑰和其他植物。在花园的对面，配有水景的广场和沿着广场分布的花棚。在花棚下，秋千和椅子让人们放松身心，相互交流。花棚本身是对原有结构的重新改造，随着时间的推移，原有结构已经老化。设计师在相同的场地内对其进行了改造，使其变得更高、更对称，以便与新的布局保持一致，为游客提供更多享受自然和放松的空间。

At the heart of the park stands a monument to the writer Nikolai Ostrovsky. Surrounding it we designed a continuous blooming garden, featuring roses and other plants chosen for their seasonal beauty. Opposite the garden, a square with a water feature and a pergola along its perimeter has been introduced. Beneath the pergola, swings and chairs invite people to relax and communicate with each other. The pergola itself is a reimagined version of the original structure, which had deteriorated over time. We recreated it within the same footprint but made it taller and more symmetrical to align with the new layout, providing more space for visitors to enjoy nature and unwind.

环绕着公园的是由石板铺筑的环形道路，不仅仅是供人们行走的小径，同时也代表着历史的路径。沿着小径，游客可以发现一些纪念铭牌，上面有附近地标的介绍和历史照片。有些纪念铭牌上还有洞口，游客可以通过洞口观察周围的环境，并与历史照片做对比。不仅如此，设计还捕捉了公园中的标志性植物——玫瑰，紫藤、玉兰和梧桐，将它们的形态印在人行道交叉口的铺装上。这些元素为该区域注入了意义，为游客提供了一种与环境互动的新方式。

Encircling the park is a ring-shaped path made of flagstone, which serves not only as a walking trail but also as a historical journey. Along the path, visitors can discover plaques with descriptions and historical photographs of nearby landmarks. Some of these plaques have windows through which people can view the surrounding sites and compare them with their historical images. Additionally we captured the park’s iconic plants — rose, wisteria, magnolia and plane tree — by imprinting their forms into the paving at the intersections of the pedestrian paths. These elements infuse the area with meaning, offering visitors a new way to engage with the environment.

公园的另一个显著特征是纪念铭牌上雕刻有Nikolai Ostrovsky的著名引言，嵌在主广场作家纪念碑附近的路面上。这些铜板上的精致雕刻为环境增添了独特的气息，鼓励游客在花坛中漫步，寻找所有的名人名言。

A distinctive feature of the park is the plaques engraved with some of Nikolai Ostrovsky’s famous quotes, embedded into the paving near the writer’s monument on the main square. These brass plates, with their intricate engravings add a unique touch to the environment, encouraging visitors to wander through the flowerbeds in search of all the quotes.

设计的重点之一是创造一个无障碍的环境。设计师移除了台阶，锋利的边缘和路沿石来确保广场可以无障碍通行，并对所有游客友好。现在Stereo公园已成为一处历史遗迹与当代景观完美融合的场所。这里是人们为索契的独特自然美丽驻足，冥想的场所。

A special focus was placed on creating a barrier-free environment. We removed steps, sharp edges and curbs to ensure that the square is accessible and comfortable for all visitors. Today Stereo park has become a place where historical heritage and contemporary landscape design seamlessly blend. It’s a space for pause, contemplation and the enjoyment of Sochi’s unique natural beauty.
