加拿大全托中心丨Alyssa Anselmo

由Alyssa Anselmo设计的1万平方英尺（约929平方米）儿童全托中心，位于加拿大圣阿尔伯特。这是Alyssa为Bambini学习小组设计的第二处全托中心，该学习小组在加拿大共有三处运营地点。该托儿中心由27岁的室内建筑师Alyssa Anselmo以及她的个人工作室Studio Anva全权负责，从设计到后期摄影都是由建筑师本人完成的。在本项目，Alyssa为孩子们创造了一处茁壮成长的梦想空间，即使他们成年后也会对这里留下快乐而珍贵的回忆。在了解Bambini品牌基于Reggio Emilia的教育理念后，建筑师为空间设计了高高的天花板，引入了大量的自然光，以轻质材料和强调亲生物的设计为孩子营造出一个理想的成长乐园。

A 10,000 sq ft holistic childcare center designed by Alyssa Anselmo, located in St.Albert, AB Canada. This is the second center that Alyssa has designed for Bambini Learning Group out of their three locations. This Childcare center was designed solely by her (a new 27 year old interior architect) who also started her own studio called Studio Anva. Alyssa also works at her studio by herself doing everything from start to finish including the architectural photography afterwards. In this project she learned how to build a dream space for children to absolutely thrive in, a space that would be remembered well into their adulthood. The owner approached her with a Reggio Emilia based philosophy, explaining that this space needed to encompass high ceilings, loads of natural lighting, light materials and an emphasis on biophilic design.

设计以开放的概念为起点，共包含8个单独的教室单元，每间教室都有自己的“小马秋千门”，这样孩子们就可以随时与整个空间互动。全托中心可容纳153名儿童，按12个月至12岁的所有年龄组分开。入口空间是人们进入中心后看到的第一个视觉焦点，这里彰显出平静的氛围，而这种平静在日托中心是非常罕见的。接待大厅中，圆形的办公室以凹槽瓷砖立面和渐变的色彩为特色，而办公室两侧的走廊则直接通往“广场”，这里是一座供孩子们冥想或做瑜伽的室内庭院。12英尺高（约3.6米）的Benjamina榕树、8英尺长（约2.4米）的云朵装置，以及下沉的圆形空间为室内引入了自然和温暖的氛围。“广场“被1000多条桦木板格栅包围，每根木板条之间还留出了一定的距离，将底板的白色色调呈现在人们眼前。此外，该空间还设置了两扇天窗，与悬吊在天花板上大小不同的宣纸灯笼一起，为孩子们创造出一种“宏伟，神奇”的视角。

She began with an open concept, separated only by 8 single classrooms that had their own “pony swing doors” built in so that children were always interacting with the full space. The total capacity is for 153 children, separated by all age groups between 12 months – 12 years. The entrance was the first focal point where she wanted to embody a calmness that didn’t naturally exist in daycare. This lobby entailed a circular office (featured with gradient fluted tiles), and two hallways that led directly into the “piazza” which is a sort of indoor courtyard for children to focus on mindfulness/yoga. This is where she incorporated a 12 foot tall Ficus Benjamina tree, a giant 8 foot long cloud, and a sunken conversation pit. This piazza is surrounded by over 1000 birch wooden slats that are separated with white, negative space. There are also 2 skylights in this room, and several rice paper shades of all different sizes, hung at different heights to give a sort of “grand, magical” perspective to the children.

下沉空间为孩子们创造出自由呼吸的时刻，他们可以悠闲地躺在云朵吊灯之下天马行空地幻想，让自己的思维飘散到任何他们想要去到的地方。孩子们也可以坐在台阶上看书，同时通过六扇大窗户瞥见到操场上的小伙伴。云朵装置在这个设计中至关重要，它将自然定格，为孩子们创造了一处永恒的想象空间。

The conversation pit is a moment for children to breathe. They can lay under the cloud (which also lights up) and just simply dream. The only expectation for them is to let their minds wander far away into whatever land they choose to make up. They can also sit along the steps with a book, while also glancing at their classmates in the playground just outside of the 6 large glass windows. This cloud was vital in this design as it creates a moment between child and object that can potentially last forever.

在Alyssa眼中，石材与木材是有生命的、会呼吸的材料，它们会根据环境因素和光照而变化。材料与空间相互作用的方式，也因此会随着时间的推移而改变，从而影响孩子们在这种环境中的成长方式。出于这个原因，Alyssa选择用混凝土作为空间的基础，并以桦木胶合板作为墙体的饰面营造出温暖的氛围，当白天明媚的阳光透过玻璃照射进室内，这种温暖的氛围又进一步得到了增强。在空间的设计中，每个小细节都被考虑到了，尤其是材料的细节。

Stones and woods are living, breathing materials that change according to environmental factors and lighting. These age overtime, changing the way materials interact with the space, thus having an impact on the way children grow within this environment. For this reason, Alyssa chose to work with concrete as a base, and birch plywood panelling along the wall to create that warmth that is reflected by the natural sunlight filtering the daycare throughout the day. Every little detail was considered in the making of this space, especially the material specifics.

“白色”的墙体整体印象，其实是由奶油色的涂料与桦木肌理混合而成的，此外，设计师还在部分墙体上刷涂了柔和的绿色，以与整个空间的植被达成平衡。这种设计进一步渲染出温暖的氛围，同时规避了单一的白色产生出的冰冷感。混凝土地板是Alyssa特别设计的，通过在混凝土中添加米色泥土色，材质的色调变得更加温暖，避免混凝土呈现出其自然的、略显冰冷的工业感。此外，她还采用了大量经过研磨的材料，进而使材料呈现出沙滩一般的质感，将日托中心与周围环境进一步联系在一起。

The “white” walls are actually a cream color which blends with the birch, and then there is a soft green painted on some of the walls to balance the vegetation throughout the space – again providing that warmth that moves away from a stark white institutional feel. The concrete floor was something that she specially designed to contribute to the warmth, by adding a beige earthy color to the mix in order to avoid a natural, cold industrial grey floor. She also heavily grinded the material to showcase a lot of aggregate to make it feel almost as if you are on a sandy beach, which surrounds the new neighborhood that this daycare belongs to.

日托中心还设有一间“艺术工作室”，专供孩子们实践他们关于各种工艺材料的创意。该空间设有三扇拱形大窗，当孩子们路过这里时也能够看到小伙伴们在干什么。工作室内悬吊了20多株不同高度的植物，此外还设有另一扇天窗以及一处洗手池。

The daycare also features an “Art Atelier” specifically for children to get creative in with various craft materials. This room features 3 large arched windows (featured in photos) that children can walk by and see what their friends are making. This room also has over 20 plants hanging at different heights, along with another skylight and a wash basin.

为了让孩子们在这里能够更加舒适自在，设计师花了几个月的时间研究人体工程学。每间教室里都整合了迷你厨房，厨房里有两个安装在不同高度的水槽，可分别供孩子们与老师使用。此外，每间教室也都设有独立的浴室，位于一扇带圆形玻璃窗的拱形门后面。这样一来，老师和孩子都无需离开教室，就可以享受到居家一般的便利。空间中的一系列门，创造出微妙的乐趣，同时也完全改变了空间中的线条感，使空间变得更加柔和。

Months of work went into studying the ergonomics required to make children’s lives easier. This is where she incorporated mini kitchens inside each classroom that have two sinks installed at different heights – one for the teacher, one for the child. Each classroom also has its own bathroom behind an arched door with a circular glass window. This generates a lot of ease for both the teacher and child to not have to leave the classroom. These doors provide a playfulness that is very subtle, yet completely transforms the lines in the space – immediately the space feels softer.
