架构师提供的文本描述。这个小学校每个年级只有一个班。Numata地处大雪地区，由于一年中大部分时间都被雪所包围，这个项目的目的是创建一所学校，提供一个紧凑而多样的空间，重点放在儿童的室内活动上。

Text description provided by the architects. This small school has just one class in each grade. Numata lies in a region of heavy snowfall, and because it is closed in by snow for the majority of the year, the aim of this project was to create a school that provides a compact yet diverse space focused on indoor activities for children.

 Floor Plan

不包括朝南的两层教室，整个建筑被设计成一个一层的结构，把体育馆和学校建筑结合成一个长方形的平面。正规的教室、“光之场”、图书馆/个人电脑空间和体育馆区域沿南北方向线性排列，形成了一个连续的、深层次的布局。这些空间上方屋顶的高度和形状不同，使建筑具有鲜明的特征，体育馆被视为一个大教室。

Excluding the south-facing, two-story classroom area, the entire building was designed as a one-story structure integrating a gymnasium and school building into a rectangular plan. The regular classrooms, a”Field of Light,” a library/PC space, and a gymnasium zone were arranged linearly in the north-south direction, creating a consecutive, deep configuration. The height and shape of the roof above these spaces was varied to give th building a distinct character, and the gymnasium was treated as a large classroom.

儿童空间的焦点是“光场”，这是一个中庭空间，北面安装了天窗。在这里，一系列石板反射来自天窗的自然光，并引导它进入建筑物内。柔和的，自然的光线倾泻而入，从有角度的墙壁反射出来，为孩子们创造了一个柔和、宁静的空间。用日本白桦树自己生产的地板，用日本橡木做家具和楼梯。“光之场”的主楼梯很宽，孩子们可以和他们的朋友坐在一起。

The focus of the children’s space is “Field of Light,” which is an atrium space with a skylight installed on the north side. Here, a sequence of slats reflects the natural light from skylight and guides it inside the building. Soft, natural light pours in and is reflected from the angled walls, creating a gentle, serene space for the children. Japanese white birch produced in numata itself was used for the flooring, and Japanese oak for the furniture and staircases. The main staircase in the “Field of Light” is wide enough for children to sit with their friends.

混凝土砌块具有巧妙的连接宽度规格，在环绕建筑物外围的深屋檐下使用，以防止悬垂的积雪。在沥青屋顶上采用轻型Galvalume钢板，其倾斜度不同，以积雪或降雪。这些材料一起创造了一个新的城镇景观。

Concrete block with an ingenious joint width specification were used below the deep eaves that run around the periphery of the building to prevent overhanging snow. Lightweight Galvalume steel sheets were used on the pitches roof, the incline of which was varied to accumulate or shed snow. These materials together create a new town landscape.
