About Wandering in the Woods 幼稚園室內設計
「林中漫遊」係一間為兩歲至六歲兒童而設計嘅幼稚園室內空間。原有建築物空間有限，並且十分依賴人造光源。基於結構穩定性同成本考慮，設計保留咗整個原有結構，並加入一個垂直貫穿三層樓嘅中庭，令所有課室都可以由兩側獲得自然光。柱變成樹，樑變成橋。連綿嘅樓梯同滑梯圍繞住柱身盤旋而上，將各個空間連接起嚟。樹屋就為閱讀同手工活動提供咗寧靜嘅角落。

- Production Technology
- A series of structure studies optimized the construction logic of the atrium. Columns and beams are transformed into trees and bridges. Continuous stairs and slides spiral up around the "trees", connecting and activating spaces. "Tree houses" provide private spaces for children to read and do handwork.
- Design Challenge
- It is extremely difficult for individuals or institutions to launch a kindergarten in China since the land policy. The owner and his wife are outstanding preschool educators. They hope to establish a real world-leading kindergarten in China. However, this building with poor sunlight is the only possible site for them. It had limited space and heavily relied on artificial lights, which was against the common expectations of kindergartens.
- Research
- Sunlight, soil and grass are all essential spatial elements to children's growth. Out of considerations of structural stability and costs, the design has kept the entire structure and created an atrium running vertically through three stories. Such design guarantees that all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Through design, a poor building has become a lively kindergarten. It's exciting that this kindergarten is now the best one in south China.
- Inspiration
- The original structure resembled a liner with limited space and poor sunlight. Out of considerations of structural stability and costs, the design keeps the entire structure and create an atrium running vertically through three stories. The design guarantees that all classrooms receive natural light from both sides. Columns become trees and beams become bridges to form abundant spatial effects. Taking advantage of the original structure, the atrium transforms the "liner" into a "woodland."
- Project Duration
- Design: 2018.12 Construction: 2019.01-2019.07
- Operation Flow
- The kindergarten thoughtfully considers the needs of children at 2-6. The facilities are benchmarked against the needs of children at 2-6, and distinguish between those for children at 1.5-3 and those for children at 3-6. Classrooms adopt soft colors and materials, creating a home-like space where child can fully express their potentiality.
