架构师提供的文本描述。这个托儿所是在一座破旧和不安全的托卡宾的基础上运营的，它的寿命只有15年，最初建于1983年。AY建筑师提出了一项建议，将其拆除，并以一座新建筑取代，以努力确保负担得起的儿童保育，并为社区提供一座长期可持续的建筑。作为当地建筑师、前父母、托管人和托儿所管理团队的自愿成员，他们与社区密切合作。2009年1月，他们协调了一项成功的资本赠款申请，这将支付该项目的费用，并说服伦敦博罗卡姆登充分支持他们的倡议。

Text description provided by the architects. The nursery had been operating from a dilapidated and unsafe portakabin with a lifespan of only 15 years, originally built in 1983. AY Architects initiated a proposal for its demolition and replacement with a new building in an effort to secure affordable childcare and a sustainable building for the community for the long term. They worked closely with the neighborhood in their multiple roles as local architects, former parents, trustees and voluntary members of the nursery’s management team. In January 2009 they coordinated a successful application for a Capital Grant which would cover the project’s costs and persuaded London Borough Camden to give full support to their initiative.

简报内容涉及一个更大、更环保的设施，可提供由18间增加至24间托儿所的名额。足迹从90平方米增加到130平方米。

The brief was for a larger and environmental friendly facility that could provide an increase from 18 to 24 nursery places. The footprint increased from 90 to 130m2.

这座新建筑的设计灵感来自于公共花园内独特的环境。它是计划围绕一个大型的灵活的游戏空间，慷慨地打开了外部的绿色空间，以集中的成熟树木。室内-室外游戏是设计理念的核心，花园环境被认为是孩子学习体验的核心。

The design of the new building takes its inspiration from the unique setting within the public gardens. It is planned around a large flexible playspace that generously opens out to the external green space distinguished by a concentration of mature trees. Indoor-outdoor play is central to the design concept and the garden environment is considered central to the children's learning experience.

上层建筑是由交叉层压板和暴露的内部白洗整理。建筑的外部覆盖着乌木染色的西伯利亚落叶松装饰，给建筑带来了坚实的皮肤。黑暗的外表使建筑物能够满足地坐在公园内和树干之间。

The superstructure is made up of cross laminated timber panels with an exposed internal white wash finish. The exterior of the building is clad with ebony stained fsc siberian larch decking to give the building a robust skin. The dark exterior allows the building to sit contently within the park and amongst the trees trunks.

一系列胶水层压木柱与周围树木的垂直性相呼应，而屋顶的设计是为了最大限度地利用日光，并允许自然通风。三个南北方向的条形窗户对角横跨该计划.当太阳在较冷的几个月中利用太阳的增加时，开口的方向欢迎太阳进入建筑物，而当太阳很热的时候，大的悬挂物会遮挡太阳，以防止过热。较大的北面屋顶窗户带来充足的日光和方便交叉通风。

A series of glue laminated timber columns echoes the verticality of the surrounding trees while the roof is designed to maximise daylight and allow natural ventilation. Three strip windows with north-south orientation span the plan diagonally. The orientation of the openings welcomes the sun to enter the building when it is low to take advantage of solar gain in colder months, while large overhangs block out the sun when it is hot to prevent overheating. The larger north facing roof window brings in an abundance of daylight and facilitates cross ventilation.

南墙的主要娱乐空间包括一个大窗口和百叶窗可直接看到公共花园，还提供了一个细长的低长凳供邻居使用。通过这种方式，托儿所获得了与社区更大程度的互动，为一个更安全和更令人愉快的绿色空间做出了贡献。

The south wall of the main playspace includes a large window and shutter looking directly onto the public gardens, and also offers a slender low bench to be used by the neighbours. In this way the nursery gains a greater level of interaction with the community, contributing to a safer and more enjoyable green space.

该托儿所是一种节能的建筑，在运行和低碳建筑设计。一个混合的刚玉毛毯形成屋顶完成，有助于当地的生物多样性和保水。

The nursery is designed as an energy efficient building in operation and low carbon in construction. A mixed sedum blanket forms the roof finish, contributing to local biodiversity and water retention.
