枫树街学校是由BFDO建筑事务所和4Mativ设计工作室合作设计的LEED金奖学前教育机构，占据了布鲁克林一个新的混合用途开发项目的第二层。该方案要求建立三个相互连接的教室，强调社交聚会空间。大型滑动隔断、一个共享的多功能室和屋顶游戏空间，使儿童群体之间可以进行各种互动。地板、墙壁和天花板，以及内置和独立的家具都选择了枫木，给空间带来温暖和视觉上的统一，并暗示了学校的名字。色彩的点缀以出人意料和俏皮的方式框住了房间之间的开口。在入口处，一块枫木挂板上有五颜六色的钉子，供孩子们玩耍，而他们的父母则在前台忙碌。
学校安排 “咖啡时间 “的做法，即每天以小吃为中心的小组聚会，促使设计师围绕一个中央厨房组织多功能空间和小房间。仿照餐车的模式，它有一个供成人使用的服务窗口和柜台，以及一个幼儿高度的柜台，在不使用时可以折叠起来。一块亚克力板显示着每天的菜单。

Maple Street School, a LEED-Gold preschool designed collaboratively by BFDO Architects and 4Mativ Design Studio, occupies the second floor of a new mixed-use development in Brooklyn. The program called for three interconnected classrooms with an emphasis on social gathering spaces. Large sliding partitions, a shared multipurpose room, and roof play space allow for a variety of interactions among groups of children. The choice of maple for floors, walls, and ceilings, as well as for built-in and freestanding furniture, gives the space warmth and visual unity, and alludes to the school’s name. Touches of color frame the openings between rooms in unexpected and playful ways. At the entry, a maple pegboard with colorful pegs entertains children, while their parents are occupied at the front desk.
The school’s practice of scheduling “cafe times,” daily group gatherings centered on snacks, led the designers to organize the multipurpose space and cubby area around a central kitchen. Modeled after a food truck, it has a service window and counter for adults to use, as well as a counter at toddler-height that folds in when not in use. An acrylic panel displays the daily menu.

一对高大的枫木袋门，在不同的高度上有椭圆形的切口，给儿童和成人提供了空间之间的视野，将教室隔开。当口袋门被打开时，这些房间就变成了一个单一的空间，供全校的活动使用。卫生间没有被隐藏起来，而是被插入到教室的空间中。视线被控制，以便教师可以监督，但孩子们会有一种隐私感。 在浴室的外墙上，相互连接的游戏水槽让孩子们可以窥视到邻近的教室。色彩的点缀出现在排列在浴室和游戏水槽的瓷片上。
在屋顶上，橡胶瓦的图案暗示着水中的岛屿，被温暖的雪松围栏和拼凑的穿孔铝屏所包围。

Pairs of tall maple pocket doors, with oval cutouts at different heights to give children and adults views between spaces, partition the classrooms. When the pocket doors are opened, the rooms become a single space for school-wide events. Bathrooms aren’t hidden away but rather inserted into the classrooms spaces. Views are controlled so that teachers can supervise but children feel a sense of privacy. On the outside walls of the bathrooms, interconnecting play sinks give the children a peek into the adjacent classrooms. Touches of color appear in the porcelain tile that lines the bathrooms and the play sinks.
On the roof, rubber tiles patterned to suggested islands in water are framed by a combination of warm cedar fencing and a patchwork of perforated aluminum screens.

这是枫树街学校在布鲁克林前景-拉弗茨花园的第二个地点，位于哈德逊公司和Marvel建筑事务所在弗莱布什大道上新的LEED-GOLD混合用途和混合收入综合体的第二层。枫树街学校是一个合作性的学前教育机构，成立于1970年。
