架构师提供的文本描述。我们的团队与波士顿的儿童保育设计专家D.W.Arthur Associates Architecture(www.侏儒网站)合作，创建了一个设施，通过其设计明确地教育和激励儿童。基于三个目标，RAfJ儿童保育需要与其牧场一样的社区相适应，达到最低的LEED银牌评级，并在经验上激励年轻用户。

Text description provided by the architects. In collaboration with Boston-based childcare design experts D.W. Arthur Associates Architecture (www.dwarthur.com), our team created a facility that explicitly educates and stimulates children through its design.  With a threefold objective, the Rafter J Childcare needed to fit contextually into its ranch like neighborhood, achieve a minimum LEED Silver rating, and experientially stimulate its young users.

这个教育驱动的项目反映了dw arthur的设计格言，让孩子们通过体验他们的环境来学习：一个带有轻微弯曲墙壁的“家庭房间”概念定义了不同年龄的儿童可以自由互动的主要走廊，然后开放到能够满足特定需求和年龄的私人房间。室内以儿童为中心的设计理念也发挥了在外部与大的玻璃扩张和牧师窗口，欢迎充足的自然光，并在屋顶游玩空间户外娱乐。

The education-driven program reflects DW Arthur’s design mantra that children learn through experiencing their environment: A ‘family-room’ concept with gently curving walls defines the main corridor in which children of different ages can freely interact, which then opens into private rooms that accommodate specific needs and ages. The interior’s child-focused design concepts also play out on the exterior with large glass expanses and clerestory windows that welcome ample natural light, and a rooftop play space for outdoor recreation.

采矿标志性的设计主题，如海狸滑梯，经过时间演变的牧场外建筑，和水平板条栅栏线的灵感，12，000平方英尺的设施被巧妙地分解成较小的群体，以参考这些不同的主题。在楼梯上，海狸滑梯状的围护结构占据了南面的大部分高度，但它与水平板条墙会聚在一起，很容易地将眼睛移动到结构上。

Mining iconic design motifs such as beaver slides, time-evolved ranch outbuildings, and horizontally-slatted fence lines for inspiration, the 12,000-square-foot facility is cleverly broken down into smaller masses that reference these differing motifs. While a beaver slide-like enclosure over the stairway occupies much of the south elevation, it converges with a horizontally slatted wall that moves the eye easily across the structure.

不仅对其直接的居住环境很敏感，而且对自然环境也很敏感，建筑物的能量50%或更多来自现场地热系统，雨水径流通过草皮屋顶控制，计算机系统有效地控制自然和人工光线。该项目超过了最初的设计目标，实现了LEED黄金评级。

Sensitive not only to its immediate residential environment, but to the natural environment as well, the building gets 50 percent or more of its energy from an onsite geothermal system, storm water runoff is controlled through sod roofs, and a computerized system efficiently controls natural and artificial light. The project exceeded the original design goal to achieve a LEED Gold rating.
