The Design

About Butchart Gardens Preschool Kindergarten

Butchart Gardens Preschool is an early education interior located in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The name refers to a Canadian garden, and the design combines Japanese and Italian garden elements. Gardens, castles, trees and stones are translated into shapes suited to children. Wood surfaces and white finishes create a warm and calm setting. Soft arcs form the walls and conceal the existing beams and columns. Partitions were removed and glass was added to improve light and openness. Solid wood, curved metal molds and fiber cement boards were used.

Design Challenge
Due to the needs of children’s height, activity habits, and safe teaching environment, the design requires more subtle observation and thinking. In order to integrate the interior with nature in the planning spaces, and by the restrictions of moving off the external building’s wall, the interior space design has been more carefully considered the light and penetration.
Research
Butchart Gardens is a combination of design elements from the natural ecology of Japanese and Italian gardens. The design is according with the restrictions of children's teaching environment, taking children's safety, activities, and teaching into consideration, and cooperates with wooden work and mud-making arc technology to create a wonderful garden for children, allowing the over-standardized early education environment in Taiwan transform into a comfort and outdoor living nature.

Operation Flow
The original design space was full of oppressive beams and columns in the indoor space of Taiwan's multi-houses. We used arcs to modify the oppressive beams and columns, bringing it into the Italian court feeling. Remove all compartments and use glass to increase the sense of space. The method combines natural caves, trees, and rocks with children's activities.
