From the Land of the Rising Sun 源自太阳升起之地

Embrace the Japanese in you and delight in one of Melbourne’s finest Japanese restaurant. Kenzan, selected as one of the top 10 Japanese restaurants in Melbourne, may just have what it takes to stay on top of the list. It plays a strict game when it comes to selecting the freshest ingredients available in the market and is famed for serving the freshest and top quality fish in town.

Since its opening in 1981, the restaurant has gone from strength to strength emerging strongly from one of the hardest hit financial recession in 1989 and braced a growing and competitive economy. It’s highly commended among local residents and remain popular in the busiest district in Melbourne – Victoria.

拥抱纯正的日本需要品尝最好的日本餐厅-Kenzan,这家被列入墨尔本 Top 10 之一的日本餐厅,态度和味道正是它在榜单前列的杀手锏。在竞争爆棚的业务大环境,具备严格食材把关,只选择市场上顶级新鲜原材料,并且呈上城镇上最生鲜的鱼类料理。

1981年开业以来,餐厅也遭遇许多起起落落,包括1989年最严重的金融危机,并且以自身实力继续展开强势增长和无限竞争力。除了赢得当地人有口皆碑,并且在墨尔本维多利亚州最繁华中心地带依旧是热门选择。

Named after the distinguished potter and painter Ogata Kenzan from the Edo period, Kenzan now employs chefs specifically trained in Japan. Through this effort alone, it has successfully maintained a legacy and authenticity of the finest from the land of the rising sun.

Kenzan is now owned by three owners – Boing Cho, Kazu Murayama and Yuki Munehiro. Some of its most favourite and crowd-pleasing dishes are nonetheless some of the most traditional selection that include sushi, sashimi, sukiyaki, shabu shabu and tempura.

目前Kenzan的3名合资人为Boing Cho,KazuMurayama和Yuki Munehiro。深受食客欢迎的招牌菜肴皆为传统的原味美食,包括寿司,生鱼片,寿喜烧,日式涮涮锅和天妇罗。

The Best of both Worlds 两全其美的境界

Eve Stambolis (Founder of Good Room Interiors & Fold Screens)

Being a mother and business founder of two companies is like having three full time jobs. Many find it a challenge to operate a business or raise children, but Eve Stambolis is doing both very well, and rather glamorously.

She runs two businesses – Good Room Interiors and Fold Screens, and when at home, raises her two boys.

Good Room Interiors is Eve’s personal project that she founded after graduating from interior design. Fold Screens recently started and is a partnership between Eve’s sister, Grace where they provide beautiful bespoke room dividers as an elegant accessory to a new home.

“It is a very busy time right now as I’m juggling everything with just two hands. But I wouldn’t have it any other way because my family means everything to me and I’m also so thankful that I get to wake up every day and do my work which I love,”
says Eve.

Originally from New Zealand, Eve grew up in a household with her mum who was also an interior designer. When she moved to Melbourne more than 10 years ago, she met her current husband, Luke Stambolis, and they traveled to Europe for his work.

“Europe opened my eyes to such beautiful interior design ideas and it was then when I knew what I wanted to do. I had only worked with my mum and a little bit with a domestic textiles company in New Zealand. Good Room Interiors started after I finished university and it just grew from strength to strength by referrals,” explains Eve.

She is also doing very well in the domestic front with her sons of four and six years. It also helps when her husband is the managing director of Pro Build (Victoria).

“Oh, he is the most interesting person I’ve known, and he’s such a hard working and inspiring person. Luke is also a family man who’s very hard working and has a positive outlook in life. While we both work so well bringing up our family, we’re also very busy and thankfully we have a lot of help,” she says.

When Eve does have some free time, she tries to improve her skills at golf which is a new hobby of hers.

“Luke bought me a golf set and I’m determined to be good at the sport. It does provide a bit of down time,” she says,
with a chuckle.

作为一名母亲和商人,还是两家公司的创始人,拥有3个全职工作,一般人会面临的抉择包括执行业务或养育孩子,对于Eve Stambolis来说并非障碍,她兼顾得面面俱到,如鱼
得水。

她所经营的两家企业 – Good Room Interiors和Fold Screens 纵然正处于业务上升期,但唯有她的家庭时光,完全由两名儿子所占据。

Good Room Interiors 是她在室内设计专业毕业后一手创立。而 Fold Screens 是与她的姐妹Grace合伙经营,她们为每个新居增添雅致、量身打造的配件布置。

“这是最忙碌的时刻,毕竟我只有一双手,但不会出现取代方式,因为家人对我来说意味着一切。每天醒来做着自己热爱的工作,我很
感恩。”

出生于新西兰的家庭,母亲也是一名室内设计师。当Eve在十多年前来到墨尔本,她与现任丈夫Luke Stambolis 相遇,并因为后者的工作一起前往欧洲。

“欧洲多姿多彩的室内设计创意让人眼界大开,也让我坚定发展目标。在这之前我只与母亲在新西兰一家纺织品公司工作。Good Room Interiors 其实是我大学毕业后成立的,随后业务也因口碑传递而壮大。”

在家庭方面,她为分别4岁和6岁的孩子们倾注心力,并且积极协助在Pro Build (维多利亚)公司就职董事经理的丈夫。

“哦,Luke是我见过最有趣的人,非常努力工作和擅长鼓动人心。他也是家庭型的男人,刻苦工作,生活中保持积极态度。虽然我们都忙于工作与支撑家庭,但非常幸运获得许多
帮助。”

Eve目前休闲新嗜好是提升高尔夫球技能。

“Luke给我买了一套高尔夫球配备,我决心攻克这项运动,也多出了点闲暇时刻。”她笑着说。

Romancing the Marsh光彩绽放家园

In 1838, pioneer settler, Captain William Henry Bacchus took up land in the valley between two rivers – the Werribee and Lederderg. Hence Bacchus Marsh was formed and named after Captain Bacchus and the surrounding natural marsh land that was subsequently drained by the early settlers.

1838年,先锋定居者-威廉亨利巴克斯上尉(CaptainWilliamHenry Bacchus)在Werribee与Lederderg这两条河流之间的山谷开垦土地。当巴克斯上尉把这片土地正式命名为巴克斯马什(BacchusMarsh)后,随之的早期定居者也对周围天然湿地进行排水引流。

Jason Yeap of Kataland steps in 177 years later, a knight in shining armour, not to rescue Bacchus Marsh but to continue the legacy and redefine the way of life in this ‘market garden’ suburb via a massive 168-hectare project entitled Underbank as the catalyst.

历经悠长的177年后,由叶绍礼(Jason Yeap)所带领的Kataland犹如身着闪亮盔甲的骑士迈步跨入这个区域,虽然并非拯救巴克斯马什,但透过庞大的168公顷Underbank郊区发展计划作为催化剂,誓言继续捍卫和重新定义这个“市场花园”生活方式。

Staged over 10 years, civil construction and residential sales of Underbank commenced in  early 2016. The light-infused residential precinct boasts of next generation living, a contemporary lifestyle that is designed to complement the global and urbane individualist.

经过逾10年的养精蓄锐,Underbank民用建筑与住宅销售推介终于在2016年初展开。灯火通明的住宅区域,凝聚着新一代家居与现代的简约生活方式,采取都市主义化,并与地球相呼应的设计风格。

Distinguished architects and builders work together to create a design that is reciprocal and one that promotes sustainable living while keeping a keen sense on cost and the environment. As a result, beautiful and performance-oriented homes are presented, sitting peacefully and proudly among the slopes, blue skies and lush greenery, working with the land and blending in with the local flora and fauna, rather than opposing the forces of nature.

杰出的建筑师和工程师一起创建与设计了互惠互利、促进可持续生活,并且保持敏锐成本和环境意识的心血结晶。柔美舒适与具备功能性的家园,平和骄傲伫立在山坡上,蓝天和绿野交错,并与这片土地动植物融合,完美顺应大自然的力量。

The flow of chi (natural energy of the universe) is encouraged throughout the floor plan enabling the home to attract positive vibes, fresh air and natural fragrance from nearby forests, hills and bubbling brooks. Neighbourhood-friendly open carports, innovative range of claddings and passive solar design lend a higher level of thermal energy performance, hence lower energy bills.

在建筑平面规划中“气“的流动(自然宇宙能量)达到积极正面的氛围,而附近的森林,丘陵和溪流散发着新鲜空气和自然香味。至于友善邻里开放式的车库,创新的复层和无源式太阳能设计供应更高层次的热能,降低能源成本。

The Underbank vision is not confined to profits but to design a contemporary lifestyle within a traditional and elegant countryside setting and to further enhance Mother Nature’s blessings upon Bacchus Marsh.

Underbank愿景并不局限于盈利的目标,而是在传统与优雅的乡区糅入现代化的生活方式,维持并加强大自然母亲长久以来对于巴克斯马什的祝福献礼。

There will be a new town centre as well as a proposed childcare centre, public space for markets and festivals, biking and walking trails alongside waterways, green corridors, open spaces with play equipment and benches will be incorporated in Underbank‘s masterplan, all building toward the well-being, health and enrichment of the local residents.

全新的市中心及献议中的儿童保育中心,作为节日庆典和市场的公共空间,沿着水岸的单车与步行道、绿色走廊、开放空间、播放系统和长椅皆纳入Underbank的设计平面图。所有建设是环绕着当地居民的舒适与健康生活架构而成。

Several pocket parks and waterside reserves will be strategically built throughout Underbank and include amenities such as playgrounds, fitness stations, picnic shelters, barbecue facilities and a basketball court. Larger parks and public spaces, including a new community oval, also provide for people to come together, relax or engage in community events. The first park will be completed within Stage One.

至于一些小型公园,沿水储备将在Underbank极具战略性的方案中建设,包括游乐场、健身房,野餐凉亭、烧烤设备和篮球区。更广阔的公园和公共空间,还有社区聚集会所,让人们可以尽情放松和参与社区活动,而首座公园将在第一阶段工程中完成。

Through an owners corporation, residents of Underbank will have exclusive access to a proposed clubhouse with tennis courts, gymnasium, swimming pool and more.

透过业主居委会,Underbank居民拥有使用包含网球场,会议室,健身房与游泳池等多用途会所的权限。

Established schools, a hospital and library are some of the desirable features of this township besides the all-important Bacchus Marsh Train Station, which provides direct access to Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station in approximately 35 minutes.

纵然学校、医院和图书馆等硬件设施是相当吸引人的特质,关键的是巴克斯马什火车站前往墨尔本南十字星车站仅有约35分钟路程。

Underbank is an evolutionary development, meticulously crafted by industry-leading experts to make a bold statement among the sophisticated home owners of this millennium.

Underbank具备前瞻性的开发设计,由领先行业的专家精心策划这一个大胆的构建,赐予讲究精致品味的新世纪家居主人。
