然而，随着对抗震和年龄变化的考虑，人们产生了各种各样的教育需求，要求我们将幼儿园改为适合当今时代的下一代幼儿园，并接受重新设计。

However, as a variety of educational needs have been produced along with consideration for earthquake resistance and change of age, we were requested to change the kindergarten to the type for the next generation that is appropriate for the current days, and accepted to design it again.

由于现有建筑物中间有一条宽至5米的大走廊，我们决定采用现代风格和流量规划的方式进行设计，同时接管新楼对现有建筑的记忆。

As there was a large corridor as wide as 5 meters in the middle of the existing building, we decided to design by arranging the building in modern style and flow planning while taking over the memory of the existing building in the new building.

为了改善这一点，他们不能看到对方，因为1层楼被转换为2层楼，我们设置了一些开放的天花板空间。

To improve the point that they cannot see each other since 1 floor building is transformed to 2floor building, we set a number of open ceiling spaces.

此外，为了减少日间照明和空调的使用，日本的节能建筑自日本东部地震以来一直是一个主题，我们在公共区域设置了一个大的开口，以使充足的太阳间接照射，并使空气流动。

In addition, for the purpose of reducing lighting and use of air conditioning during the day in Japan where the building by energy saving has been a theme since the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake, we set a large opening in the common area to have a high sidelight where the sufficient sun hits indirectly and to cause the air to flow.

这产生了一个足够明亮的空间，而不用光线，他们可以消除高边和开放的热量。在日本，这里温度高，湿度大，是下一代不使用空调的生态设施。

This produced a space bright enough without using the light and they can remove heat from the high sidelight and opening. In Japan where it is hot with high humidity, it is an eco facility for the next generation without using air conditioning.

在室内方面，我们是通过想象“树林”来设计的。在森林里，有各种因素促使各种发现、机会和5种感觉。中间的交流空间想象着这种“树林”。

As for interior, we designed by imagining “woods”. In the woods, there are factors that prompt a variety of discoveries, chances and 5 senses. The communication space in the center imagines this kind of “woods”.

每个孩子都有一个“护理室”，他们可以回到那里。在树林里，有小而大的空间，小台阶，他们画一幅画的空间，攀爬的空间和一个类似于树屋的小屋。

Each child has a “nursing room” to which they go back. In the woods, there are small and large space, small step, space where they draw a picture, climbing space and a hut similar to tree house.

小屋里有一扇小窗户，与楼下玩耍的孩子们产生了新的联系。楼梯下面的小屋看上去就像大树上的一个洞，一个柔软的垫子分散在整个空间里。这样，孩子们就可以躺在树上，放松一下，读一本书。

There is a small window in the hut, and it produces a new connection with children who are playing at downstairs. The hut under the stairs looks like a hole in large tree, and a soft cushion is spread in whole space. By this, the children lie and lean in the tree where they can relax and read a book.

至于爬墙，有五颜六色的各种设施。我们敢于选择在自然界接近石头的材料，因为我们想要创造一个图像，是类似于原来的岩石地区。

As for climbing wall, there are a variety of facilities with colorful colors. We dared to select the material that is close to the stone in nature since we wanted to create an image that is similar to original rocky area.

近年来，当儿童的身体能力和创造力下降，我们期望他们可以开始提高他们的能力，在不同的地方设置各种游乐场室内。

In recent years when children’s physical ability and creativity have been decreased, we expect that they can start improving their ability by setting a variety of playgrounds indoor at different places.
