The program houses a 60 bed childcare center and 20 bed day nursery. The building has been awarded the green “zéro Energie Effinergie” label. This public building is located next to Jean Nouvel’s “Horizons” tower, at the junction between the “Vieux pont de Sèvres” neighbourhood, built in the 70’s, and the new area called “ le Trapèze”. The High density of this area gives it a rugged skyline.

为了融入这一特定的城市景观，这座建筑由三层组成。每一个朝南的游乐场都与室内空间保持着连续性，并被一个独特的混凝土动物雕塑所识别。从周围的塔楼看，定期的梯田序列提供了一个真正的第五个立面的邻居。

To be integrated into this particular urban landscape, the building is composed of three tiers. Each of the south-facing playgrounds is in continuity with the interior spaces and is identified by a unique concrete animal sculpture. Viewed from the surrounding towers, the regular sequence of terraces offers a real « fifth facade » to the neighborhood.

建筑物的正面由白色波纹铁制成，为野生动物雕塑提供了极小的背景。这个想法是用孩子的想象力来美化城市景观。野生动物占据了这片空间；一只长颈鹿似乎在平静地吃着附近公园里的树叶，一只北极熊试图爬上台阶，而一家瓢虫则爬上阳台，试图到达室内露台。

The facades of the building are made out of white corrugated iron that provides a minimal background to the wild animal sculptures. The idea is to animate the urban landscape by using a child’s imagination. The wild animals appropriate the space; a giraffe appears to be peacefully eating the leaves of the trees from the neighbouring park, a polar bear tries to clamber up the steps, while a family of ladybirds climbs the façade in an attempt to reach the interior patio.

建筑变成了讲故事。这座建筑改变了它的身份，变成了一个自然景观，一个城市丛林的隐喻。动物和树木把建筑物与自然和运动联系起来。长颈鹿已经成为苗圃的旗帜，因为它可以从各个角度在周围地区看到。我们穿过它的腿进入大楼。这些生动的动物雕塑以其和蔼可亲的形式吸引着我们去实现我们的梦想。这些有趣的、梦幻般的雕塑在小镇的日常生活中引入了一点幻想，以便用一点诗意来启发我们的生活。

Architecture turns into storytelling. The building changes its identity and becomes a landscape in its own right, a metaphor for the urban jungle. The animals and the trees link the building to nature and motion. The giraffe has become a banner for the nursery since it is visible in the surrounding area from all angles. We walk through its legs to enter the building. Through their affable form, the lively animal sculptures invite us to live our dreams. These playful and dreamlike sculptures introduce a little bit of fantasy into the routine life of the town in order to inspire our lives with a bit of poetry.
