作为一个城市的建筑，作为一个房间的集合：这座建筑变成了一个不同空间的集合，孩子们可以随时在其中发现新的地方；可以进行一次探索之旅。所有的空间都是相互连接的，就像在一个真正的城市里一样，你可以从一个大房间到一个小房间，从一个高房间到一个低房间。

The building as a city, as a collection of rooms: the building becomes a collection of different spaces in which the children can discover new places all the time; may go on a voyage of discovery. All of the spaces are connected to each other just as they are in a real city and you can go from a big room to a small one, from a high room to a low one.

服务模块框架提供了结构：各种空间都是通过与网格相适应来构建的。该机构包括所有服务单元，如卫生设施、储藏室和卧室。

A framework of service modules provides structure: the various spaces are structured by being fit into a grid. The body includes all service modules, such as sanitary facilities, store rooms and bedrooms.

内部-外部连续性：网格不局限于建筑，也成为外部空间的设计理念。房间可以用不同的硬表面和植物装饰。通过设计各种房间，如外部空间，外部延伸到整个建筑。

Interior-exterior continuity: the grid is not confined to the building but also becomes the design concept for the exterior space. The rooms may be decorated with different hard surfaces and plants. The exterior is extended throughout the building by designing various rooms like exterior space.

对尺度的不同看法：由于房间之间微妙地使用高度差异，可以体验到不同的尺度。在中心空间中，由于群空间的分离方式，较大的尺度是可感知的；由于高度的关系，更小的尺度是可感知的；由于遮蔽的空间，更小的尺度是可感知的。

Different perceptions of scale: different scales can be experienced as a result of the subtle use of height differences between the rooms themselves. In the central space, the large scale is perceptible because of the way the group spaces are separated, a smaller scale is perceptible because of the height and an even smaller scale is perceptible because of the sheltered spaces.
