泰卡幼儿园的建筑是根据儿童的需求和规模精心设计的，以便为他们提供一个体验式的友好空间。Taika于2018年1月开门为Seinäjoki家庭服务，从一开始就深受员工和孩子们的喜爱。

The Taika Kindergarten building is carefully designed with the needs and the scale of children in mind in order to provide them an experiential and friendly space. Taika opened its doors to serve Seinäjoki families in January 2018, and it has been well loved by the staff and the children alike since the beginning.

尽管服务的儿童数量相对较多，但Taika仍能提供一个家庭般的规模。Taika为225名1至7岁的儿童提供日托服务，并为50名工作人员提供工作场所。泰卡还为父母轮流工作的家庭提供过夜服务，轮流照顾200名儿童，每次最多有60名儿童在幼儿园过夜。这意味着Seinäjoki市为其居民提供的所有过夜儿童保育服务现在都集中在一个屋檐下。同时，早期教育服务的区域主管的办公室现在都在Taika大楼里，支持他们作为区域服务协调人团队的工作。

Despite the relatively large number of children served, Taika manages to offer a home-like scale. Taika provides daycare for 225 children between ages of one and seven as well as a place of work for 50 staff members. Taika also serves families with parents with shift work schedules offering overnight care for a rotating group of 200 children with a maximum of 60 children spending the night in the kindergarten at a time. This means that all overnight childcare offered by the City of Seinäjoki to its residents is now gathered under one roof. Also the offices of the regional directors of early education services are now all in one place in the Taika building supporting their work as a team of coordinators of regional services.

塔伊卡大楼的设计灵感来自于奥斯特罗博特传统的露天谷仓，其形状像一个大谷仓。然而，它色彩鲜艳，光线充足，其星形的规划有助于提供节奏感，并创造一种像家一样的规模感。泰卡幼儿园拥有灵活的午睡空间，高度实用的门厅区域，配备了应对北欧天气带来的挑战和对处理儿童户外服装的高要求，以及松散分离的户外区域，每个区域都有自己的门廊，以提供避雨和为不同年龄组的儿童服务，泰卡幼儿园是当代北欧幼儿园建筑设计方法的一个伟大范例。

Taking its cue from the Ostrobotnian traditional barn in the open field, Taika is shaped like a large barn. Yet, it is colorful and full of light, and its star-shaped plan serves to provide rhythm and to create a sense of a home like scale. With its flexibly adapting naptime spaces, its highly practical foyer areas equipped to deal with the challenges brought along by the Nordic weather and the high demands it poses on handling children’s outdoor clothing, as well as the pockets of loosely separated outdoor areas each with its own porch to provide shelter from rain and to serve children of different age groups, the Taika Kindergarten is a great example of the contemporary Nordic approach to the design of kindergarten buildings.

星形的规划提供了一个有效和灵活的空间组织。建筑内的空间被划分为六个独立的大本营区域，每个区域容纳两组儿童。总共有12个组，由18-20名不同年龄的儿童组成。每个家庭基地区都有自己的入口，可以从院子里直接进入。大本营区域有大窗户，面向院子，给建筑带来大量的光线和空气。空间被安排在一个有趣的节奏中，交替出现遮蔽的角落和开放的区域，内部空间和它们的家具都有颜色编码，这样每个年龄组都有自己的识别颜色和自己的建筑区域，帮助孩子们在建筑中移动时确定自己的方向。

The star-shaped plan offers an efficient and flexible organization of space. The spaces in the building are divided into six independent home base areas that each house two groups of children. There are altogether 12 groups of 18-20 children of different ages. Each home base area has its own entrance providing direct access from the yard. The home base areas have large windows facing the yard and giving the building lots of light and air. The space is organized in a playful rhythm of alternating sheltered nooks and open areas and the interior spaces and their furnishings are color-coded so that each age group has its own identifiable color and its own section of the building helping the children orient themselves when moving around in the building.

在三个侧翼连接的中心的双倍高度的空间里，有一个开放的共享空间，作为餐厅，也可以转变为一个表演空间或会议空间，供社区在晚上使用。泰卡的共享空间提供了一系列适合大量活动的空间，从地下室的游泳池，到带有木材加工的工作台、画架和画板的工作室，以及一个大型体育馆。中心的一个宽大的 “阅读楼梯 “为儿童提供了一个类似礼堂的空间，供他们聚集在一起。

In a double height space in the center where the three wings are joined, there is an open shared space that serves as a dining hall and also transforms into a performance space or a meeting space for the community to use in the evening hours. The shared spaces of Taika provide an array of spaces suitable for a large number of activities ranging from a swimming pool in the basement, to a workshop with a workbench for working with wood, and easels and drawing boards, as well as a large gym hall. A wide ‘reading stair’ in the center provides an auditorium-like space for children to gather in.

外墙用落叶松镶板包覆，随着时间的推移，会获得银灰色的铜绿。部分外墙用铝覆盖，反映了天空和周围景观的颜色。

The exterior walls are clad with larch paneling and will acquire a silvery gray patina over time. Segments of the exterior walls are covered with aluminum that reflects the color of the sky and the surrounding landscape.
