这所位于千叶县樱花市的幼儿园计划容纳60名学生。该项目是由当地一家专门从事老年人护理设施的社会福利公司 “诚友会 “提出的。这个计划的总体概念是从 “幼儿园就是一座大房子 “开始的。

This nursery school in Sakura, Chiba was planned to accommodate 60 pupils. Seiyu-Kai, a local social welfare firm specializing in elderly care facilities approached us for this project. The overarching concept for this plan started with an idea: “a nursery school is a large house.”

四周山林环绕，场地的南部区域位于缓坡上。利用这一地形，我们将学校的房间设计得像一组大楼梯。

Surrounded by mountains and forest, the southern area of the site rests on a gentle slope. Putting this topography to use, we designed the school room to resemble a large set of stairs.

比如，这个 “大房子 “有一个独特之处，就是3岁的孩子和5岁的孩子同处一室，这些不同年龄的孩子可以在宽阔的一室空间里互动。此外，如果3岁的孩子在睡觉，而5岁的孩子在附近玩耍，这些节奏上的差异会强化这个 “大房子 “的 “家 “的特质。秉承世友会一直以来（26年）的理念，我们将房间内的盲点数量降到最低作为首要任务，以保证安全措施尽可能不被打扰。

One unique feature of this “large house,” for example, is that a 3-year old child is in the same room as a 5-year old and these children of different ages can interact in the wide, one-room space. Additionally, should a 3 year-old child be sleeping while a 5 year old child plays nearby, these differences in rhythm reinforce the “domestic” qualities of this “large house.” Keeping in line with Seiyu-kai’s longstanding (26-year) philosophy, we made it a priority to minimize the number of blind-spots within the room in order to keep safety measures as unintrusive as possible.

利用南北两面的大型推拉窗框，加上坡度所形成的空间，微风从结构的南面吹来，经过森林般的内柱向上吹，最后吹过北面的平台，形成通风。

Utilizing large sliding window frames along the northern and southern faces, along with the space created by the slope, ventilation is created as a breeze draws in from the south of the structure, passes through the forest-like interior pillars making its way upwards before finally blowing out across the terrace on the northern side.

南端的一个小池塘收集了雨水以及安装在南斜屋顶上的洒水装置的水，当水被吹进结构的风吸收后，也有助于空气流动。这是创造一个与周围环境密不可分的空间的综合计划的一部分。我们认为，在追求 “幼儿园是一座大房子 “这一最初的概念时，我们实现了与周围农耕社区的房子不一样的东西。

A small pond on the southern end which gathers rainwater as well as water from sprinklers installed on the southward-slanted roof also contributes to the airflow as the water is absorbed into the wind that blows into the structure. This was part of a comprehensive plan to create a space that was inseparable from the environment that surrounds it. We believe that in pursuing the original concept of a “nursery school as a large house” we achieved something not unlike the houses in farming communities that surround it.

我们的目标是创造一个空间，不仅让孩子们感到有趣，而且通过融入周围的自然，培养一种比其元素的总和更大的体验。

Our goal was to create a space that was not only fun for the children but via blending into the nature around it, foster an experience that was greater than the sum of its elements.
