深圳小山幼儿园 | Yunchao Xu/Atelier Apeiron

We were originally inspired by children’s paintings collected from a public class we gave to the neighborhood. Their paintings delivered wishes for having hills, tents and grasslands in their future kindergarten.The main building of Small Hill Kindergarten is combined by four grand arch tents and three flat terraces. The tents consist of four interconnected arched spaces for various classes, including music, art, crafts, and sports.

我们最初的灵感来自我们给社区举办的公开课上收集的儿童画作。他们的绘画表达了对未来幼儿园有山、有帐篷、有草原的愿望。小山幼儿园的主体建筑由四个大拱形帐篷和三个平坦的梯田组合而成。帐篷由四个相互连接的拱形空间组成，适用于各种课程，包括音乐、艺术、手工艺和运动。

The north and south sides of each arch are transparent, introducing the surrounding natural landscape into the interior. During daytime, the arched spaces produce changing light and shadow effects with sun as an attractive maze of light. The terraces are a series of three-dimensional floating platforms, which are connected by long gentle ramps and spiral stairs.

每个拱门的南北两侧都是透明的，将周围的自然景观引入室内。白天，拱形空间产生变化的光影效果，太阳就像一个迷人的光迷宫。梯田是一系列三维浮动平台，由长而平缓的坡道和螺旋楼梯连接。

Rather than staying inside standardized classrooms, our design encourages children to spend more time outdoor. Especially the round 150-meter running track through arches will become the favorite place for kids.The steel structure of the building makes the space much lighter and more transparent than concrete structure. We applied natural bamboo slabs for inner skin of the arch tent, and developed a special terrazzo mixed with sea sand to make outdoor floor soft and non-slippery.

我们的设计不是呆在标准化的教室里，而是鼓励孩子们在户外度过更多的时间。特别是通过拱门的150米圆形跑道将成为孩子们最喜欢的地方。建筑的钢结构使空间比混凝土结构更轻，更通透。拱形帐篷的内皮采用天然竹板，开发出一种特殊的水磨石混合海砂，使户外地板柔软防滑。

For the city full of concrete jungle, the small hill kindergarten would also become a unique urban landscape.

对于满是水泥丛林的城市来说，小山幼儿园也将成为一道独特的城市景观。
