Central Park Public Domain

Turf Design Studio with Jeppe AagaardAndersen was commissioned by Frasers Property to reimagine the public domain ofthe Carlton United Brewery site at Broadway in Chippendale. Turf’s first taskwas to work with Foster + Partners, Ateliers Jean Nouvel, Johnson PiltonWalker, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer and Tzannes Associates to review and refine theoriginal masterplan inherited with the project. Since opening, Central Park has become a much-loved new addition to city life. From the everyday dog walk or yoga class, to markets and numerous annual majorevents, Central Park has been embraced by the community at all levels. Central Park’s public domain exemplifies how a well-considered and legiblepublic domain framework can both unite a site and restitch a city. At the heartof the site is Chippendale Green; a north-facing park of terraced, sun drenchedlawns tucked away from the frenetic pace of the city. Twelve years on TURF has played a formative role in the creation of an entirelynew city precinct delivered via 12 major public domain and building projectsincluding: Stages 1 & 2 Infrastructure Works, eight new streets,Chippendale Green, Park Lane, seven thru-site pedestrian links, One CentralPark. Now almost complete, the mix of 4200 residents and 1200 workers, supermarketsand cafes makes for a vibrant new urban village breathing new life into whatwas a baron and desolate stretch of Broadway, while adding to the energy andvitality of inner-city Chippendale.
