架构师提供的文本描述。扩大托儿所被认为是在日本内城的托儿所等待名单上的儿童的紧急事务。然而，它经常受到反对，因为它的噪音源逐个邻居。

Text description provided by the architects. The enlargement of the nursery school is considered to be urgent business for children on nursery school waiting lists in an inner city in Japan. However, it is often objected as a noise source by neighborhood.

孩子们在那里过得很舒服，邻居们对孩子们也很满意。这种情况将是最合适的。在城市环境中，要使这样一个正常的局面成为现实是很困难的。这是一个问题，我们如何使最合适的情况。

Children spend their time there comfortably, and the neighborhood feel favorably to children. That situation will be most suitable. In urban environment, to make such a normal situation is difficult. It is an issue how we enable the most suitable situation.

这所幼儿园位于人口稠密的城镇，土地形状奇特.我设计了穿过这所托儿所大楼的门厅，以使这个托儿所和邻里之间有一个合适的位置。在公共道路上，只有这条长长的门厅的两端。

This nursery school is in high-density town, and the land is strange form. I designed the foyer which crossed the building of this nursery school to make a suitable situation between this nursery and the neighborhood. Only the both ends of this long foyer faces on public roads.

门厅成为邻居的缓冲层。他们常常既感觉不到孩子们的身影，也感觉不到明亮的声音。同时，门厅也为孩子们填补了一个很大的玩耍空间。当孩子们仰望高高的窗户时，他们能感觉到太阳的光在那里的每一刻都在变化。窗框的颜色是由使用GoogleEarth的邻居屋顶的颜色选择的。在不久的将来，孩子们可以在附近找到同样的颜色。这个彩色项目是与瑞士艺术家汉斯-彼得基斯特勒合作。

The foyer becomes the buffer from the neighborhood. They feel neither the figures of children nor bright voice, so often. Also the foyer fills the role as large playing space for children. When children look up at high-windows, they can feel solar light to change every moment there. Colors of window-jamb are selected by the color of neighborhood roofs using Google-Earth. In near future children can find same color in the neighborhood. This color project is collaboration with Swiss artist Hans-Peter Kistler.

在市中心，有时很难获得大的学校花园。在这种情况下，附近的公园起着花园的作用。在这所幼儿园里，夏天有几个小露台供游泳池和整个季节的婴儿群使用。

It is sometimes difficult to secure large school garden in the inner city. In such case the park of the neighborhood functions as the garden. In this nursery school, there are several small terraces for swimming pool in the summer and for the infant groups in all season.

邻居们有时会感觉到孩子们的身影，而不是经常在最平衡的情况下。

The neighborhood feel the figures of children sometimes, not so often with the best balanced situation.

幼儿园受到邻里的青睐，孩子们的活动使城市更具吸引力。

The nursery schools are taken favorably by neighborhood, then the activity of children makes the city attractive.
