每个单元都由椭圆形走廊连接，它们的位置可以通过一个被包围的庭院观察儿童的生活和活动。

Each units are connected by the oval corridor, and they are located to be able to watch the life and activity of the children through a surrounded courtyard.

 Floor Plan

集体居住单元是指6到7个孩子作为一个家庭居住的房子。两个群体生活单元相连，由两个家庭组成。我们设计餐厅的外部空间高度侧光，并设计室外的气氛，由墙壁的隔音板红雪松。餐厅周围环绕着孩子们的私人房间，孩子们可以很容易地互相观看。温暖的光线从高处散发出来，给晚上回到家里的孩子们营造了温暖的气氛。

A group living unit is the house where 6 or 7 children live as a family. Two group living units are connected and composed of two families. We design the dining room with high side-light like outside space, and design the outdoors-like atmosphere by the wall made by clapboard of red cedar. The dining room are surround by children's private rooms, and the children can watch each other easily. The warm light leaks out from the high sidelight, and makes the warm atmosphere for the children who come back to their houses in the night.

区域交流大厅(办公单位二楼)由木格梁构成一个大空间。外铝屋檐(办公单位)阻挡夏季阳光，同时屋檐对建筑外墙造成阴影。

The hall for regional exchange (2nd floor of the office working unit) formed a big space by the wooden lattice beams. The outside aluminum eaves (the office working unit) block the summer sunlight, at the same time, the eaves make the shadow to the building outer wall.
