架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是维多利亚州政府2010-11年幼儿发展计划的一部分，于2012年3月完成。在田庄路幼儿园学习的方法是通过游戏发现的。教育环境利用内部和外部空间，因此设计在操场和教室之间创造了不受限制的连接。这种感觉在整个新的设计中继续，使物理和视觉连接到外部空间。

Text description provided by the architects. This project was part of the Victoria state government’s 2010-11 early childhood development initiative, and was completed in March 2012. The approach to learning at the Grange Road Kindergarten is one of discovery through play. The educational environment utilizes internal and external spaces, so the design created unrestricted connection between the playground and the classroom. This sentiment continues throughout the new design enabling physical and visual connection to the external spaces.

该设计包括过渡甲板和坡道，一个更明显的入口和大厅，通过对现有教室的改造来增加平方度量衡，以及利用间隙空间。在接近幼儿园的时候，孩子们会被悬浮在蓝色树胶木坡道上的低高度栅栏上生机勃勃的颜色梯度所吸引和兴奋。每一天，当你到达更善良的时候，这个设计就会激发孩子们的快乐和灵感。

The design encompasses transitional decking and ramp, a more pronounced entry and lobby, an increase in square meterage through the re-working of an existing classroom, and utilization of interstitial spaces. On approach to the kindergarten children are invited and excited by the gradient of vibrant colours upon the low-height pailingfence which hovers over the blue gum timber ramp. Upon arriving at the kinder each day the design attempts to incite happiness and inspiration to the child’s day.

这些元素将分层的木座纳入了场地的入口，现在它提供了一个有趣、轻盈、过渡的空间，足够让人们在行人繁忙的时候和非正式的交谈中，以及存放自行车和婴儿车。进入新的充满光线的房间，可以直接看到操场，并有机会回顾从格兰奇路(Grange Road)进入场地的通道。

These elements, incorporating tiered timber seating at the site’s approach, now provides a fun, light filled, transitional space, wide enough for times of heavy pedestrian traffic and informal conversations, along with the storage of bicycles and prams. Entry into the new light filled room gives direct views into the playground and the chance to look back towards the site’s access from Grange Road.

新的前教室充满了北部和东部的光线。北面的立面有一个突出的胶合板窗座，为孩子们提供了一个在早晨和下午的阳光下坐着的地方。新的天花板线被夷为平地，既增加了与周围树梢的视觉联系，又使东边的光线更加明亮，有助于空间的深度。

The new front classroom is flooded with northern and eastern light. The northern elevation contains a pop-out plywood window seat offering a place for the children to sit in the morning and afternoon sun. The new ceiling line is raked, increasing both the sight connection with the surrounding tree tops, and enabling eastern light which contributes to the depth of space.

室外的天篷颜色模仿阳光斑驳的叶子，增强了与自然环境的联系，同时为剧院风格的木座提供了遮挡。这些改变和增加增强了更友善的社区所创造的价值和氛围。互联和过渡空间消除了边界，并创造了一种统一的感觉，整个项目和建筑的整体。

The external canopy colour mimics the sun-dappled leaves, enhancing the connection with the natural environment, whilst offering shelter above theatrette style timber seating. These alterations and additions enhance the values and atmosphere the kinder community has worked to create. Interconnecting and transitional spaces remove boundaries, and create a sense of unity throughout the project and building’s entirety.
