由南非一家著名的建筑用品公司经营的非营利组织资助,这所位于梅菲尔西区的四间教室的小学为来自约翰内斯堡斯洛沃公园附近的非正式定居点的学生服务。

Funded by a non-profit run by a prominent building-supplies company in South Africa, this four-classroom primary school in Mayfair West serves students from the nearby Slovo Park informal settlement in Johannesburg.

这座480平方米的建筑位于Salvazione的主学校的路边,是一座教堂建筑,曾容纳了从学前班到七年级的学生。新的开发项目可以容纳低年级学生,为高年级学生留出更多的空间,而高年级学生则留在原来的建筑里。

The 480 m2 structure is situated down the road from Salvazione’s main school, a church building that had housed pre-kindergarten through grade seven. The new development accommodates the younger grades, allowing more space for the upper grades, which remain in the original building.

顶层的两间教室得益于拱形天花板提供的宽敞空间,使学校的小面积空间得到了最大限度的利用。外墙–由透明、玻璃和绝缘的黄色面板组成的格子,使透明度和隐私性相得益彰–以及其双拱形的轧制锌屋顶使建筑具有温馨的外观。

The two classrooms on the top floor benefit from the spaciousness provided by the arched ceiling, making the most out of the school’s small footprint. The facade — a lattice of clear, glazed, and insulated yellow panels that tempers transparency with privacy — and its double-vaulted rolled-zinc roof lend the building a welcoming appearance.

蜡浸松木的外部屏风作为一个微妙的安全屏障,允许充足的自然光进入教室,所有的教室都面向街道。建筑物后面有一个滑梯,从第二层通往操场,孩子们可以通过一个狭窄的攀岩墙登上外墙。

An exterior screen of wax-impregnated pine functions as a subtle security barrier that allows ample natural light to enter the classrooms, all of which face the street. Behind the building is a slide leading from the second level to the playground, where children can ascend the facade via a narrow climbing wall.
