会议计划增加了一个附件。它是沿着大路在凸起的地面上设置的。这样做，就有可能使儿童空间远离道路，并利用附件与主要建筑之间的空间。入口处的设计是为了给孩子们更多的进入儿童领地的感觉。教师办公室和体育馆位于入口对称的位置。他们被规划在一个单一的轴上的窗户，以便教师可以方便地监督周围的孩子和访客以及从入口处。

An annex was added to meet program. It was set along the main road on the raised ground. By doing so, it was possible to secure children space from the road, and to utilize space between the annex and main building. Entrance was designed to give more sense of arriving – into a children’s territory. Teachers’ office and a gymnasium were located by the entrance symmetrically. They are planed with windows on a single axis, so that teachers can easily supervise children all around and visitors from the entrance as well.

关于主楼，重要的是决定保留什么，从70年代抹去什么。由于快速增长，对大多数韩国人来说，1970年不仅意味着“过时”，还意味着“低于标准”。沿着锯齿形台阶有经典的混凝土扶手-最强的元素。锯齿形被认为是正面的，所以它们被金属片覆盖，涂成白色，这样简单的折叠面就可以拥抱院子。此外，主建筑外墙的石质保持不变，但漆成了浅灰色，把院子变成了一个活泼的儿童空间。此外，体育馆的设计是开放的，这样户外空间就可以融入室内。

Regarding the main building, it was important to decide what to keep and what to erase from the 1970’s. Because of rapid growth, to most Koreans’ 1970’ means not only ‘out of date’ but also ‘below standard’. There were classical shaped concrete handrails along zig-zag running terrace – strongest element. Shape of zig-zag was regarded positive, so they were covered by metal sheet and painted white, so that simple folded planes can embrace the yard. In addition, stone texture of the main building’s façade was kept, but painted light grey to turn the yard into a lively space for children. Plus, gymnasium was designed openable so that outdoor space can merge into interior.

室内的一般概念是“画布”。通常，儿童空间不可避免地伴随着许多五颜六色的家具和玩具。重点是创造环境，以提供健康的刺激，而不是即时的刺激。孩子们会在光线充足的空间中成长出平衡的美感。

General concept of interior was ‘Canvas’. Normally, children spaces inevitably accompany a lot of colorful furniture and toys. Focus was on creating environment to give healthy stimulations rather than instant ones. Children will grow balanced sense of aesthetic while getting around well-lit spaces.
