儿童中心的项目进程很紧密，建筑设计，批准和完工整个将于9个月之后完成。该建筑Papamoa海滩镇的边上，我们的设计意在构建一个捕捉怀旧的新西兰巴赫（度假屋）感觉的设计。
A very tight programme saw the Children’s centre designed, approved and completed in 9 months.The building is located on the edge of the Papamoa Beach township and our brief was to create a design that captured the nostalgic kiwi bach (holiday house) feel.

引用LA例研究房屋清新的风格和新西兰集团架构师，我们的概念将早期儿童中心的功能减少为两个简单的“固体”体积，支持一个十分美观的薄悬臂式的屋顶。教室上的屋顶是滑动玻璃屏幕并且可以完全从室内/室外看到朝北的操场。所有服务和管理空间都位于这些“立方体”里，它以循环的形式进入中心。
Referencing the elegant refined style of the LA case study houses and New Zealand’s own Group Architects, our concept reduces the functions of an early childhood centre into two simple ‘solid’  volumes, supporting a beautifully thin cantilevered roof. The classrooms are defined below the roof by sliding glazed screens allowing full indoor / outdoor flow  to the north facing playground. All service and admin spaces are located in the ‘solid’ boxes, which define the circulation and entry to the centre.

基于我们对于完成设计的热情，客户最终决定让我们设计并选择所有的家具、电器、配件、艺术作品和景观美化，从而构建一个完全凝聚力的建筑完成体。
Through our passion for ‘complete’ design, the client was convinced to let us design and select all furniture, appliances, fittings, art work and landscaping leading to a fully cohesive architectural finish.

从环保角度，该建筑作品十分高效，冬季通过朝北的低辐射玻璃获得大多数的被动太阳能，而大跨度的悬挑挑檐可以防止盛夏过度的太阳热量。中心的后方（南区）具有有限的开口且其高度的绝缘限制了热量的损失。
Environmentally the building works very efficiently, making the most of passive solar gain in winter conditions through the low-e north facing glazing, whilst the large cantilevered roof overhang stops overheating from the high summer sun. The rear of the centre (south side) has limited openings and is highly insulated to limit heat loss.

教室里的大型滑动玻璃面板可以在6个建筑体内实现自然通风，而管理空间都通过较小的可开启的窗户自然通风。
Ventilation is achieved naturally at 6x building code minimum via the large sliding glazed panels in the classrooms, whilst the admin spaces are all naturally ventilated through smaller openable windows.

黑水公司在每个建筑的后部处理现场并灌溉大量本地种植区域，这可当作操场上的苗圃种植。屋顶上的雨水被收集用于冲洗所有厕所和灌溉操场上，而整个中心都使用高WELS评分的水器具以限制水的使用（水龙头是6星级，而厕所是5星级）。
Blackwater is treated on site and irrigates a large native planted area at the rear of each building, which acts as the nursery for planting throughout the playground. Rainwater is captured from the roof and used to flush all wc’s and irrigate the playground, whilst high WELS rated water appliances are used throughout the centre to limit water use (taps are 6 star, wc’s 5 star).

通过这些功能的建设和日常实际应用，教导孩子减少对环境的影响，同时，通过天然的大操场，那里被原生植物、草、动物所包围，也使孩子们获得更广泛的环保意识。
Children are taught about reducing their environmental impacts through these features of the building and their everyday practical application of them, as well as gaining a  wider environmental awareness through the large natural playground, where they are surrounded by native plants, grasses and animals.
