建筑师研究了现代日本社会儿童保育设施的演变，并决定让设计完全由场地环境和规划要求来塑造。设计意图是允许生成的体系结构“传播”并返回到本地社区。

The architect examined the evolution of childcare facilities in modern Japanese society and decided to let the design be molded entirely by the site context and programmatic requirement. The design intent is to then allow the resulting architecture to “spread” and respond back into the local community.

架构师采用了以下策略来实现设计意图。通过模糊边界和创造一个面向主要街道的大开口，社区能够在视觉和空间上连接发生在幼儿园内的活动。户外游乐景观和设施被整合到景观设计中，同时作为游乐场、教育空间、儿童保育空间，同时允许这些活动“溢出”和“传播”到社区。

The following strategies were employed by the architect to achieve the design intent. By blurring the boundaries and creating a large opening facing the main street, the community is able to visually and spatially connected with the activities happening within the kindergarten. Outdoor play-scape and facilities are integrated into the landscape design, which serves as playground, educational space, childcare space all at once while allowing these activities to “spill” and “spread” into the neighborhood.

在幼儿园的围墙内，空间是相互连接的，而且非常开放。孩子们能够观察并欣赏他们在厨房里是如何从正中庭，甚至在二楼自修室准备食物的。

Within the walls of the kindergarten, spaces are interconnected and very open. Children are able to observe and appreciate how their meals are being prepared in the kitchen from the main atrium and even from the second floor study rooms.

建筑师对儿童保育设施中的“玩耍”概念很感兴趣，并希望创造一个活跃的环境，通过探索和发明新的游戏方式来鼓励幼儿学习。

The architect is intrigued by concept of “play” in a childcare facility and hopes to create a lively environment to encourage young children to learn though exploring and inventing new ways to play in this project.
