Mi Casita Preschool and Cultural Center / BAAO + 4Mativ Design Studio

来自建筑事务所的描述：Mi Casita学前文化中心由Barker Associates建筑工作室和4|Mativ设计工作室合作设计，项目位于布鲁克林的多功能地区。三间教室共同应用了一个位于建筑地面层的大空间，满足了功能应用。整个空间环绕着一个L型水槽区域组织而成，这里成为了社交点，同时也兼具浴室水槽的功能。房间通过家具的摆放而划分，具有一定的灵活性，因此也可以进行一些特殊的活动，例如由学校艺术家团队组织的表演。

Text description provided by the architects. Mi Casita Preschool and Cultural Center, designed collaboratively by Barker Associates Architecture Office and 4|Mativ Design Studio is located in a new mixed-use development in Brooklyn.   The program called for three classrooms to occupy a large space with 15' ceilings on the ground floor of the building with a lower level for support programming. The space is organized around an L-shaped trough sink that becomes a social gathering spot and that also functions as a bathroom sink. Divisions between rooms are made with furniture to provide flexibility so that the space can be transformed for special events including performances organized by the school's artist-in-residence.







文化中心的目标是成为孩子们的“家以外的家”，引用了布鲁克林的现有文化，因此建筑师在空间中融入了许多与家和城市相关的元素，一个大型房子形状的夹层展示了与课程相关的季节性展品。墙体上的房子形状切口构成了满足儿童使用的阅读角落和空间通道，浴室和水槽周围的马赛克瓷砖中应用了浅蓝色图形，这呼应了城市的天际线，并且在窗户中以线性的方式表达出来。

The school’s focus on being a “home away from home” and learning from the different cultures that coexist in Brooklyn led the designers to incorporate graphic elements relating to home and city in the design of the space. A large house-shaped vitrine on the mezzanine will showcase seasonal displays that relate to the curriculum. House-shaped cutouts in the walls provide child-sized reading nooks and passages through the space. A graphic in shades of pale blue in the tile mosaic around the bathroom and trough sink references the city skyline and is echoed as a linear element in the window treatment.





空间中的色彩有着戏剧性的作用，天花板上的翠蓝色和发光的圆球让人仿佛置身在蓝天之下，橙色则应用在墙体的切口和空间之中，同种色系的线性元素也存在于楼梯里，孩子们可以通过楼梯去往工作空间。

Color is used for dramatic effect throughout the space. Turquoise on the ceiling and light globes give the sense of being under a bright blue sky. Orange is used in cutouts in the walls and accent elements in the space. Orange-lined stairs lead down to the parent-co-working space.
