一所学校 “的设计，鼓励3至18岁儿童的互动和多元化教育。横滨国际学校是世界上第二所在其名称中使用 “国际 “一词的学校。它最初成立于1924年，是一所男女同校的学校，有来自54个国家的约750名学生，从幼儿教育到12年级，雇用了120多名教职员工。

A “One School” design encouraging interaction and diverse education for children aged 3 to 18 years. Yokohama International School was the second school in the world to use the word “ international” in its name. Originally founded in 1924, it is a co-educational school with approximately 750 students from 54 countries, from Early Childhood Education to Grade 12, and employs over 120 faculty and staff.

最初的校舍位于历史悠久的山手社区，靠近横滨市中区的港景公园，位置优越。然而，学校的设施分散在住宅区，无法满足学校不断增长的入学人数。因此，董事会决定在附近的Honmoku区获得新的土地，并建造新的设施，以满足学校不断增长的需求，学校将迁往该区。基本的设施设计是由世界知名的建筑公司隈研吾建筑事务所提交的，并从多个设计事务所提交的众多提案中脱颖而出。我们公司通过执行设计-建造竞争被选中。

The original school building was located in a prime location in the historic neighborhood of Yamate, close to Harbor View Park in Naka-ku Yokohama. However, the school facilities were scattered throughout residential areas and were not able to accommodate the school’s growing enrollment. A decision was thus made by the Board of Directors to acquire new land in the nearby Honmoku district and construct new facilities to meet the growing needs of the school, to which the school would move. The basic facility design was submitted by world-renowned architectural firm Kengo Kuma & Associates and was selected from the many proposals submitted by multiple design offices. Our company was selected through an execution design-build competition.

新设施的特点是所有的教学楼都在一个地方，允许各年龄段的孩子、教师和家长在一个屋檐下进行各种互动。新的学校设施被设计成 “一个学校 “的综合体，拥有室内和室外的教育空间，以促进国际文凭教育项目所提供的探究学习的多样性，旨在为终身学习者创造一个全球视野。

The new facilities feature all school buildings on one site, allowing for a variety of interactions between children of all ages, faculty, and parents under one roof. The new school facility is designed to be a “One School” complex with indoor and outdoor educational spaces to promote diversity of inquiry learning provided by the International Baccalaureate educational programs which aim to create a global perspective among lifelong learners.

富有表现力的外部木板。这是学校的一个新标志。独特的外部设计以坡屋顶、大屋檐、连接两座建筑的桥梁、以及随机分段和略微倾斜的外部木板为特色。这些元素使新的学校建筑能够毫不费力地与周围的住宅区融为一体，将以前分散的设施整合为一体。外部木板是由15毫米厚的雪松板制成，并经过防腐剂和白蚁预防剂处理。它们被涂上油漆并连接到ALC外墙的钢架上，根据阳光的角度创造出各种表情。

Expressive exterior wood panels: A new hallmark of the school. The distinctive exterior design features hipped roofs, large eaves, a bridge connecting two buildings, and exterior wood panels that are randomly segmented and slightly tilted. These elements enable the new school buildings to effortlessly blend in with the surrounding residential area, integrating the previously scattered facilities into one. The exterior wood panels are made of 15 mm thick cedar planks treated with preservatives and termite repellents. They are painted and attached to steel frames outside of the ALC exterior wall, to create various expressions according to the angle of sunlight.

一个拥有多样化舒适区域的地点，鼓励自由学习。教室前的走廊等共享区域被设计成宽敞的 “开放枢纽”，连接教室以促进各种教学方法，并可用于日常活动，如小组合作学习和自学。这些都是多样化的空间，学生可以以自己的方式使用，以适应他们的舒适和需求。

A location with diverse areas of comfort that encourages freedom of learning. Shared areas such as corridors in front of classrooms have been designed as spacious “open hubs” that connect classrooms to facilitate a variety of teaching methods and can be used for daily activities such as collaborative group work and studying on one’s own. These are diverse spaces that students can use in their own way, to fit their comfort and needs.

北楼的中心是一个阳光充足的中庭，有一个被称为 “百合花垫 “的大型象征性楼梯。百合垫上有图书馆的书架，面向广阔的中庭，沿着楼梯一直延伸到二楼。学生们可以在这些楼梯上阅读或学习。此外，”百合垫 “还作为学校活动的场所，如演讲和表演艺术的舞台，展示和举办学生所学知识的区域，以及儿童在课间休息时玩耍的地方。

At the center of the North Building is a sunny atrium with a large symbolic staircase called “The Lily Pads.” The Lily Pads have library bookshelves facing the expanse of the atrium and continuing along the staircase up to the second floor. Students can read or study as they wish along these stairs. Furthermore, The Lily Pads function as a venue for school activities, such as a stage for lectures and performance art, an area to display and hold presentations on what students have learned, and a place for children to play during recess.

大量使用木材来创造一个舒适和温暖的空间，激发创造力。学校设施的外部和内部都采用了木质装饰，如外部的木板、木质甲板、图书馆和其他区域的天花板木质百叶窗，以及内部的落叶松墙，形成了一个舒适、温暖的校园，激发了儿童的创造力。

Extensive use of wood to create a cozy and warm space that inspires creativity. The school facilities feature wooden finishes outside and within, such as exterior wood panels, wood decks, ceiling wood louvers in the library and other areas, and interior larch walls, for a cozy, warm campus that inspires creativity in children.
