Vereya是莫斯科地区最古老且规模最小的城镇之一。受莫斯科地区景观和公共空间发展部委托，Megregionstroy事务所对Vereya的历史中心城区的苏联广场进行了改造设计。项目的核心目标旨在为这个历史悠久的小镇中心创造出一个富有吸引力的公共空间。为了提高小镇居民的舒适度，除了翻修老旧的广场地面外，项目中还重建了人行步道，扩大了绿地面积。该项目已于2020年建设完成。
Vereya is one of the oldest and the smallest towns in Moscow region. Commissioned by The Ministry of landscape and public space development of Moscow region. The major goal of this project is to create an attractive public space in the center of a historic town. We have renovated ancient pavements, recreated the sidewalks, expanded greenspaces so that the inhabitants could feel more comfort. Constructed in 2020.

经过改造，小镇的中心广场已经恢复了它历史上的风貌，广场地面重现出几个世纪前的采石场石材。为了将古老的铺路石暴露出来，项目的开发商拆除了广场地面3英尺厚的沥青层。翻修后的广场将市中心的重要历史地标 —— 行政大楼、历史博物馆，以及小镇市集联系在了一起，彰显出这些宝贵历史遗产的价值。
The small town’s central square has regained its original aspect with a pavement of quarry stone which was here centuries ago. The developers have removed a 3 feet layer of asphalt on order to reveal the ancient paving stones. The renovated square united the major landmarks of the historic downtown – the buildings of the administration, the historic museum, the bazaar which are all heritage assets.

设计旨在将新旧元素完美结合在一起，既保留广场的历史风貌，又使其满足现代社会对实用性以及舒适度的需求。例如，为了给行动不便人士与推着婴儿车的母亲们提供便利，广场上设置了几条由当代铺路石铺设的步道，这些步道的表面高度与原始的采石场石材保持水平。
A considerate approach to combining the old and the new has allowed to adapt the elements with historic background and message to the up-to-date utilitarian comfort requirements. For example, in order to accommodate people with restricted mobility and mothers with carriages, the square received several walkways made of contemporary paving stones, level with the original quarrystone.

除翻修广场外，Megregionstroy事务所还改造了广场旁边拥有百年历史的公共花园，使其成为开放广场的辅助公共设施。花园内的儿童游乐场被改造一新，不仅扩大了场地规模，同时还增设了全新的游戏设施。为了避免新建设施与历史建筑的不协调，设计选用了木材、绳索以及沙子作为游乐场的材料。此外，设计师还为花园增设了一处木制露台，它既可以作为小型表演场所，也可以作为社区街道图书馆使用，在这里，人们可以举办一些中等规模的聚会活动，例如：节日庆典、定期集市、不插电音乐会等，这些都是Vereya当地最受欢迎的公共娱乐活动。
Apart from the square, we put into shape the century-old public garden which supports the rather open square. The garden’s children’s playground was renewed, it grew in size and gained new playing scenarios. In order to avoid a discordance with the historic buildings, the materials of our choice for the playground were wood, ropes and sand. We installed a wooden open-air stage in the garden, which also serves as a street library, where you can hold medium-sized events – festivals, fairs, unplugged concerts which are favorite in Vereya.

广场道路将所有功能区域串联起来，道路两旁设有生态停车场和自行车道。几条独特的长凳成为广场上引人注目的焦点，它们还原了历史上系绳柱的形状，在很久以前，来逛集市的人们都将马拴在那里。这些长凳为重现照片中广场的历史风貌作出了重要的贡献。
The roadway is now lined with an eco-parking and a bike lane that binds together all the functional zones. An eye-catcher of the square – unique benches in the form of a historic tethering post, where horses were stalled long ago during fairs. They helped to recreate the historic aspect of this square featured in the ancient photographs.
