Description(English)	There are 2 piazzas in the kindergarten: 1 for art and 1 for kinetic. The façade of townhouses turns into kids’ activities area like canvas for painting, library for reading, medical station for hand cleaning and several muscle working stations etc. Kids can even hide and play around the colonnade of the downsized houses. The existing column in the piazza is dressed up as a bell tower to enhance the vibe of downsized town. A large external arch window showcases to the public this unique piazza space. It extends not only the piazza to the external area, but also the kids’ imaginations.
Description(Native)	幼稚園主要分為兩個廣場空間：「藝術文化廣場」及「大肌肉運動廣場」 。「 藝術文化廣場」中間的柱子變成了特色鐘樓，增加了文藝復興的氛圍。小朋友可以在這裡畫畫、閱讀、進行戲劇活動等。「大肌肉運動廣場」 中間的柱子變成了小巨人，小巨人還手持小籃球架，讓活動空間變有趣。孩子可以在這裡進行繩網、攀石、跳躍等不同的肌肉活動。 課室歐式小屋造型不只是裝飾。它們專為小朋友的各種活動而設：例如有給小朋友繪畫的畫布、給小朋友閱讀的圖書館、還有訓練不同肌肉的工作站。有些歐式小屋的柱廊更成為小朋友遊玩、休息和發白日夢的小空間。這樣空間設計和教學設施合二為一，成為了小朋友的「第三位老師」。 有些歐式小屋更有功能上的作用，例如外形像醫院的洗手區域，有些小屋窗戶是奬牌展示位，有些小屋門廊是放鞋子的地方，把每個空間充分利用。小朋友的洗手間也延續了歐式設計，窗戶和鏡屏也用了圓拱形狀，讓設計更統一。洗手龍頭也用上不同種類，讓上廁所也成為教學的一部分。
