来自建筑事务所的描述。考虑到新西兰Kerikeri宜人的气候，建筑师期望这座少儿中心成为环境的反馈，让孩子们以一种自然的方式与之沟通。建筑因此分散为四部分，每一部分约700平米面积，可以容纳不同年龄阶段的孩子。各部分被大而高耸的屋面遮盖，并彼此紧紧联系在一起，人们可以自由地在屋面下穿行，避免了空间的封闭。
Text description provided by the architects. Given the hospitable climate of Kerikeri, we wanted the centre to be a reflection of the environment and for children to interact with this in a more natural way. The building is therefore split into four pavilions covering a large area of 700m2 each housing varying age groups of children, sheltered by a large soaring roof form which ties the pavilions together and allows for movement between these undercover, but not enclosed.

屋面遮盖了四处生活馆，大部分室外空间接收阳光和雨水的馈赠，供使用者全年使用，比如室外餐厅以及穿插着迷你口袋花园的室外流线，这些策略贯穿了整个设计过程。分散空间的开口正对长势喜人的pohutakawa树，位于建筑的中心位置，旨在鼓励孩子们与自然环境的互动联系。在建筑设计过程中，设计者在试图反映许多岛湾家庭的本土文化的同时，室内外模糊的界限也激励着整个少儿中心的开放式探索与自我发现。
The roof shelters the pavilions and much of the space around them from sun and rain, providing all-weather spaces such as outdoor dining and external circulation which are interspersed with pocket gardens throughout the design. The pods are designed so that they face the striking pohutakawa tree located in the heart of the purpose-built centre, to encourage children’s connection with the natural environment. While the architectural design reflects the local culture for many Bay of Island families, the blurring of boundaries between the indoors inspires open-ended exploration and self-discovery throughout the centre.

项目使用了非常多自然材料，旨在为孩子们创造温暖而引人入胜的空间。水平木制覆面由铝材固定衔接，打造了更轻盈更自然的环境。
The project employs a more natural material palette, to create a warm and welcoming space for children. The horizontal timber cladding is styled with aluminium joinery to create a lighter and more natural environment.

生活馆设置了巨大的移动门，能最大程度上增强和室外游乐场的联系，并且提供充足的日光以及自然的通风，保证最佳的室内环境品质，这对于幼儿的身心健康都是有益的。
The pavilions have large sliding doors to maximise connection to the outdoor playground and provide an abundance of daylight and natural ventilation to ensure an optimal internal environment quality is maintained for the health and well-being of young minds.

在室内，每个教室都由New Shoots团队特别设计，旨在给予孩子们非比寻常的学习环境，他们把握了不同年龄幼儿的不同看护需求。定制的橱柜和家具保证每一处空间都经过精心考量，借建筑物的整体建筑形式打造出一种凝聚力。
Internally, each classroom has been specifically designed by the New Shoots team to give children a unique learning environment, with features that cater for the unique needs of each age group. Custom-designed cabinetry and furniture is implemented to ensure every space has been well-considered, creating a cohesive feel that carries through from the overall architecture form of the building.

宜人的室外区域充分利用了新西兰北部无冬季的气候特点，为小朋友的探索提供了自然灵感。
The luscious outdoor area takes full advantage of the winterless North’s climate, as it provides nature-inspired play for the tamariki to explore.
