架构师提供的文本描述。千叶樱花的这所幼儿园计划容纳60名学生。当地一家专门从事老人护理服务的社会福利公司世余凯向我们提出了这一项目.这个计划的首要概念是：“托儿所是一所大房子。”

Text description provided by the architects. This nursery school in Sakura, Chiba was planned to accommodate 60 pupils. Seiyu-Kai, a local social welfare firm specializing in elderly care facilities approached us for this project. The overarching concept for this plan started with an idea: “a nursery school is a large house.”

在山和森林的包围下，该遗址的南部地区位于一个缓坡上。为了利用这个地形，我们把教室设计成了一套很大的楼梯。

Surrounded by mountains and forest, the southern area of the site rests on a gentle slope. Putting this topography to use, we designed the school room to resemble a large set of stairs.

例如，这个“大房子”的一个独特特点是，一个3岁的孩子和一个5岁的孩子在同一个房间里，而这些不同年龄的孩子可以在宽敞的一个房间里互动。此外，如果一个3岁的孩子在附近玩耍，而一个5岁的孩子正在睡觉，这些节奏上的差异强化了这个“大房子”的“家庭”品质。按照赛宇凯的长期理念(26年)，我们把尽量减少房间内盲点的数量作为一个优先事项，以尽可能保持安全措施的不侵扰性。

One unique feature of this “large house,” for example, is that a 3-year old child is in the same room as a 5-year old and these children of different ages can interact in the wide, one-room space. Additionally, should a 3 year-old child be sleeping while a 5 year old child plays nearby, these differences in rhythm reinforce the "domestic" qualities of this "large house." Keeping in line with Seiyu-kai's longstanding (26-year) philosophy, we made it a priority to minimize the number of blind-spots within the room in order to keep safety measures as unintrusive as possible.

利用沿北面和南面的大滑动窗框，以及斜坡所创造的空间，当风从结构的南部吹进来，穿过森林状的内部柱子向上移动，最后吹出北侧的露台时，通风就产生了。

Utilizing large sliding window frames along the northern and southern faces, along with the space created by the slope, ventilation is created as a breeze draws in from the south of the structure, passes through the forest-like interior pillars making its way upwards before finally blowing out across the terrace on the northern side.

南端的一个小池塘收集雨水和安装在南倾斜屋顶上的喷头的水也有助于气流，因为水被吸收到风中，风吹到结构中。这是一项全面计划的一部分，目的是创造一个与周围环境不可分割的空间。我们相信，在追求“作为一所大房子的托儿所”这一最初概念的过程中，我们所取得的成就与围绕它的农耕社区的房屋并没有什么不同。

A small pond on the southern end which gathers rainwater as well as water from sprinklers installed on the southward-slanted roof also contributes to the airflow as the water is absorbed into the wind that blows into the structure. This was part of a comprehensive plan to create a space that was inseparable from the environment that surrounds it. We believe that in pursuing the original concept of a “nursery school as a large house” we achieved something not unlike the houses in farming communities that surround it.

我们的目标是创造一个不仅给孩子们带来乐趣的空间，而且通过融入周围的自然，培养一种比其要素总和更大的体验。

Our goal was to create a space that was not only fun for the children but via blending into the nature around it, foster an experience that was greater than the sum of its elements.
