考虑到凯里凯里热情好客的气候，我们希望该中心能够反映出环境，让孩子们以更自然的方式与环境互动。因此，该建筑被分割成四个亭子，占地700平方米，每个亭子都容纳了不同年龄段的儿童，由一个巨大的高耸的屋顶形式将各亭子连接在一起，并允许在这些亭子之间进行活动，但不是封闭的。
Given the hospitable climate of Kerikeri, we wanted the centre to be a reflection of the environment and for children to interact with this in a more natural way. The building is therefore split into four pavilions covering a large area of 700m2 each housing varying age groups of children, sheltered by a large soaring roof form which ties the pavilions together and allows for movement between these undercover, but not enclosed.
屋顶为亭子和周围的大部分空间遮挡了阳光和雨水，提供了全天候的空间，如户外餐饮和外部流通，整个设计中还穿插了口袋花园。亭子的设计是为了让它们面对位于专门建造的中心的醒目的pohutakawa树，以鼓励儿童与自然环境的联系。建筑设计反映了许多岛湾家庭的当地文化，室内的界限模糊，激发了整个中心的开放性探索和自我发现。
The roof shelters the pavilions and much of the space around them from sun and rain, providing all-weather spaces such as outdoor dining and external circulation which are interspersed with pocket gardens throughout the design. The pods are designed so that they face the striking pohutakawa tree located in the heart of the purpose-built centre, to encourage children’s connection with the natural environment. While the architectural design reflects the local culture for many Bay of Island families, the blurring of boundaries between the indoors inspires open-ended exploration and self-discovery throughout the centre.
该项目采用了更多的自然材料调色板，为孩子们创造一个温馨的空间。水平的木质覆层与铝制细木工相结合，营造了一个更轻盈、更自然的环境。
The project employs a more natural material palette, to create a warm and welcoming space for children. The horizontal timber cladding is styled with aluminium joinery to create a lighter and more natural environment.
亭子有大型推拉门，最大限度地与室外操场相连，并提供丰富的日光和自然通风，以确保保持最佳的内部环境质量，以促进幼儿的健康和福祉。
The pavilions have large sliding doors to maximise connection to the outdoor playground and provide an abundance of daylight and natural ventilation to ensure an optimal internal environment quality is maintained for the health and well-being of young minds.
在内部，每间教室都是由新芽团队特别设计的，旨在给孩子们提供一个独特的学习环境，其特点是满足每个年龄段孩子的独特需求。定制设计的橱柜和家具的实施，确保每一个空间都经过深思熟虑，营造出一种凝聚力的感觉，并从建筑的整体建筑形式中贯彻出来。
Internally, each classroom has been specifically designed by the New Shoots team to give children a unique learning environment, with features that cater for the unique needs of each age group. Custom-designed cabinetry and furniture is implemented to ensure every space has been well-considered, creating a cohesive feel that carries through from the overall architecture form of the building.
郁郁葱葱的户外区域充分利用了北方无冬的气候，因为它为塔玛木提供了自然灵感的游戏，供其探索。
The luscious outdoor area takes full advantage of the winterless North’s climate, as it provides nature-inspired play for the tamariki to explore.
