架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是根据幼儿园的要求来规划的，要求“不是小学校，而是大房子”。我们被要求设计一个空间，可以容纳孩子的日常活动，比如吃饭、睡觉和玩耍，而不是把一个特殊的空间设计成幼儿园。我们决定建一座建筑，把空地分成一个庭院和一个小操场，而不是有一个大操场。这种缩小的规模让孩子们能感受到“家”的感觉，同时也有助于扩大儿童在游乐场、托儿室和庭院连续区域的活动种类。

Text description provided by the architects. This project was planned with the request of a nursery school to be “not a small school, but a big house.”  We were asked to design a space, which can embrace kid’s daily activities, such as eating, sleeping and playing, rather than designing a special space as a nursery school. We decided a building to divide the open space into a courtyard and a small playground rather than having one big playground. This reduced scale allowed kids to feel the building like ‘home’, and it also helped expanding the varieties of kid’s activities in the continuous area of playground, nursery room and courtyard.

当托儿所有不同的级别时，婴儿的托儿室通常放在一楼，而3岁以上的儿童的托儿室由于疏散问题被安置在较高的水平上。然而，在这个项目中，我们把最大限度地提高3岁以上儿童的活动作为优先事项，因此，3岁以上儿童的房间位于一楼。在二楼的露台上有一个临时的婴儿疏散空间。这个平台是封闭的，所以计划作为一个受保护的日常游乐区使用。在每一间房内的空间质量上，都提供了通风屋顶和倾斜屋顶的结合，提供了个性化的空间。

When nursery schools have different levels, nursery rooms for babies are usually placed on the first floor and those of children over 3 years old are placed at above levels due to the issue of evacuation. However, within this project, we put priorities on maximising the activities of over 3 years old kids, therefore the rooms for over 3 years old are placed on the first floor level. A temporary evacuation space for babies is secured at the terrace on the second floor level. This terrace is enclosed so that is planned to be used as an protected daily play area. A combination of pent roof and hipped roof provides individualities in quality of space within each room.
