他们的设计重点是绝对保护现有的树木和一个方向，以保证充足的日光进入日托中心。它也为南方游乐场提供了广阔的视野。

Their design focuses on an absolute preservation of the existing trees and an orientation that guarantees a sufficient amount of daylight entering the daycare centre. It also offers broad views towards the southern playground.

这导致了一个紧凑的卷，其中包含行政，技术和安静的空间。在这卷书和操场之间有一个过渡区，一个透明的“外部房间”。通过穿过紧凑的音量，两条对角线视觉上将街道与后面的操场连接起来。

This results in a compact volume that contains the administrative, technical and quiet spaces. In between this volume and the playground sits a transition zone, a transparent ‘outer room’. Two diagonal sightlines visually connect the street to the playground in the back by crossing the compact volume.

这些窥视孔依偎在建筑物周围的环境中。建筑西侧的一个木制围栏创造了一个私人的、封闭的操场。日托中心开放时间后，围栏向大楼靠近，使操场可以公开通行。

These peepholes nestle the building in its surrounding context. A wooden fence at the west side of the building creates a private, enclosed playground. After opening hours of the daycare centre, the fence closes towards the building, making the playground publically accessible.

因此，这座建筑在一个主要由巨大的、童话般的树木主导的绿色环境中以一个谦逊的主角的身份出现。(鼓掌)

As such, the building presents itself as a modest protagonist within a green environment that is mainly dominated by giant, fairylike trees.
