该社区中心和托儿所将服务于西北剑桥开发的新Eddington社区。可以容纳100个孩子的托儿所位于新小学的旁边，围绕着一个中庭呈三面分布。在第四个面上是市政规模的社区中心，它成为当地的新中心建筑。建筑中最大的体量是能容纳180人的主厅，西面有一个入口平台，在新城市领域中创造了一个新标志。

The Community Centre and Nursery will serve the new community of Eddington on the North West Cambridge Development. Located adjacent to the new primary school the 100 place Nursery is arranged around three sides of a landscaped courtyard. On the fourth side, the more civic scaled Community Centre, addresses the new local centre. The largest volume, the 180 person main hall, flanks an entrance terrace to the west and creates a marker in the new urban realm.

社区中心为生活的各个方面提供了一个聚会场所，从婚姻或纪念服务到跳尊巴舞。设计师与社区人员协商后，提出了三种不同规模的主要空间，其中中等大小的房间拥有自己的独立而安全的花园。附近现有的体育设施将有利于社区的发展，设计师将概念重点放在了表演艺术上。主厅的体量使得声学环境可根据不同的情境调整，从室内音乐到幕布电影。它的高度使其成为一个可以实现被动通风，弱化声音的空间。

The Community Centre provides a gathering place for all aspects of life, from marriages or memorial services to zumba. The brief, developed through community consultation, called for three main spaces of varying scale, with the mid-sized room having its own secure garden. As the community will benefit from existing nearby sports facilities, the brief developed a strong focus on the performing arts. The main hall’s volume allows for variable acoustics that can be adjusted to suit events ranging from chamber music to film screenings, its height being critical to achieving a passively ventilated, acoustically attenuated space.
