澳洲ASPECT工作室在阿德莱德港口的哈特磨坊周边设计了一个极富活力和吸引力的公共区域。该区域靠近码头，其背景为阿德莱德港口最有标志性的工业建筑遗产之一。新打造的空间包括树木点缀的开阔草坪区、野餐和烧烤区以及用于活动和商业的多功能区。
该公共景观是毗邻面粉磨坊、以娱乐为主题的创新空间。这也是该项目的重要特征。其设计参考了码头区丰富的港口贸易活动，旨在为市民提供多样的游玩设施，成为区域新的吸引点。铁路线保留原有状态，这不仅表达了对历史的尊重，同时帮助港口继续发挥其作为重要出口中心的功能性。铁路线两侧是升起的船形绿化平台，成为这个被大幅改造和污染的区域内的新公园空间。
发展过程中兴起的各种建筑项目遍布在港口周围，而该公共区域则是到达港口的第一个目的地。该项目旨在吸引市民，提高去往海滨的通行性，并营造舒适愉快的环境。
ASPECT Studios has delivered a new, vibrant and attractive public realm for the Hart’s Mill Surrounds in Port Adelaide. Located adjacent to the wharf and with the backdrop of one of Adelaide’s most iconic heritage listed industrial buildings, the new space includes extensive new grassed recreation areas with trees, picnic and BBQ areas as well as multifunctional spaces for events and markets.
An innovative new play space themed around the site’s flour milling history is a key feature of the site. Its design draws on references of the numerous port trade activities in the wharf precinct and has been developed as a play facility aimed to have a regional level of attraction. The existing rail line has been retained and celebrated in its original state to maintain a reference to the past and the port’s important role as an export hub. The rail line is flanked by raised green platforms designed as vessels containing new park spaces within what is a highly modified and contaminated site.
The project has been delivered as a premier destination within a suite of ‘early win’ interventions that have been rolled out around the port with the aim of increasing visitation and providing greater access and amenity to the waterfront.
