Keon Park车站丨澳大利亚墨尔本

Keon Park 车站作为墨尔本 Mernda 线上的一处当代公共门户，位于中央商务区东北约14公里处，服务于 Thomastown 区，并处于 Whittlesea 市与 Darebin 市的交界处。该项目由 North Western Program Alliance（NWPA）实施，作为 Keon Parade 平交道口移除工程的一部分，由 VIDA Rail 作为业主。新车站以高架轨道与站厅取代了原有受限的地面车站，消除了 Keon Parade 上危险的平交道口，并将原本割裂的交通廊道转化为更加安全、连通的公共基础设施。

Keon Park Station operates as a contemporary civic gateway on Melbourne’s Mernda Line, approximately 14 kilometres north-east of the CBD, serving the suburb of Thomastown at the boundary of the Cities of Whittlesea and Darebin. The project was delivered by the North Western Program Alliance (NWPA) as part of the Keon Parade Level Crossing Removal, with the VIDA Rail as client. The station replaces a constrained at-grade facility with an elevated rail and concourse, eliminating a dangerous level crossing at Keon Parade and transforming a previously fragmented corridor into a safer, more connected piece of public infrastructure.

车站基于一个清晰且易于识别的概念框架，将周边公园景观的特质转译为建筑形式。在新种植景观尚需时间生长成熟的背景下，建筑通过一种“虚拟景观”建立即时的场所感。由浅绿、深绿与黄色构成的陶瓷砖系统包覆关键公共构件，为车站注入活力，并缓和混凝土高架桥的尺度感。这种经过精细调配的色彩运用同时承担识别与导向功能，使车站在由多车道主干道与周边工业开发构成的复杂环境中，呈现为一个清晰而鲜明的公共标识。

The station is underpinned by a clear and legible conceptual framework that translates the character of the surrounding parklands into built form. In anticipation of newly planted landscapes maturing over time, the architecture establishes an immediate sense of place through a “virtual landscape.” A robust ceramic tiling system in light green, dark green and yellow wraps key public elements, animating the station and softening the scale of the concrete viaduct. This carefully calibrated use of colour delivers both identity and wayfinding, allowing the station to read as a distinctive civic marker within a challenging context defined by a multi-lane arterial road and adjacent industrial development.

Keon Park 车站对公共与文化领域作出了重要贡献。车站区域通过宽敞的前广场、开阔的视线以及直观的流线组织，提升了安全性、舒适性与使用便捷性。穿孔铝制栏杆与隐私屏沿高架桥延伸，延续了 Mernda 线沿线建立的原住民共创设计语言。这些构件在为周边住宅提供必要视觉遮挡的同时，也强化了整体交通廊道的识别性与文化连续性。

Keon Park Station contributes strongly to the public and cultural domain. The station precinct is defined by generous forecourts, open sightlines and intuitive circulation, promoting safety, comfort and ease of use. Perforated aluminium balustrade and privacy screens extend along the viaduct, continuing an Indigenous Co-Design language established elsewhere on the Mernda Line. These elements provide necessary visual screening to neighbouring residences while reinforcing a broader corridor-wide identity and cultural continuity.

建筑形态与环境之间的关系经过精细处理。车站迁至 Keon Parade 南侧后，重新建立了与周边居住区的直接联系，并消除了乘客需要跨越多条车流的情况。对称设置的双入口既回应当前需求，也为未来发展预留空间；同时，与公交系统、共享步道及自行车基础设施的直接连接，支持无缝的多模式出行。

The relationship between built form and context is carefully resolved. The relocation of the station to the southern side of Keon Parade re-establishes direct connections with surrounding residential areas and removes the need for passengers to navigate multiple traffic crossings. Dual, symmetrical entrances respond to current demand while future-proofing the station for growth, and direct links to bus services, shared use paths and cycling infrastructure support seamless multimodal travel.

在功能组织上，车站强调清晰性、高效性与包容性。电梯、折返式楼梯及紧急疏散路径被集中布置，确保无障碍通行与直观动线。高架站厅平台连接楼梯中间平台，消除零散空间，并提升整体可视性。位于站台下方的圆形灯具为站厅空间提供照明，在提升乘客体验的同时，也支持被动监控与 CPTED（通过环境设计预防犯罪）原则。

Programmatically, the station is designed for clarity, efficiency and inclusivity. A centralised arrangement of lifts, switchback stairs and emergency egress routes ensures equitable access and intuitive movement. Elevated concourse podiums connect stair mid-landings, eliminating residual spaces and enhancing visibility across the station. Circular lights illuminate the concourse beneath the platform, improving passenger experience while supporting passive surveillance and CPTED principles.

该项目体现了建筑、工程、城市设计、景观、照明以及原住民协作之间的高度整合。陶瓷砖、混凝土、铝材与钢材等耐久材料的选用，兼顾耐久性、低维护成本与抗涂鸦性能，从而实现长期运营价值。

The project reflects a high level of integration across architecture, engineering, urban design, landscape, lighting and Indigenous collaboration. Durable materials including ceramic tiles, concrete, aluminium and steel are selected for longevity, low maintenance and anti-graffiti performance, delivering long-term operational value.

总体而言，Keon Park 车站作为一项公共基础设施，展现出清晰、自信且富有表达力的特质——安全、易读且具有识别性。该车站从一个朴素的“基础节点车站”被提升为一个融入田园式景观语境中的建筑性雕塑。

Overall, Keon Park Station functions as a confident piece of civic infrastructure – safe, legible and expressive. This station is elevated from a humble ‘host station’ to a beautifully integrated architectural sculpture within an arcadian setting.
