 Kindergarten In Jiading New Town, image courtesy Atelier Deshaus | Photo by Shu He The kindergarten is located in the Jiading new town of the northern suburb in Shanghai, it is neither countryside nor urban in the traditional sense. Face to the ambiguous and uncertain surrounding, the architecture emphasizes the self-improvement, directly intervening into the site, and making a very clear juxtaposition of the architecture and the site. Compare with the open environment, the kindergarten acts as an introversive area.  Kindergarten In Jiading New Town, image courtesy Atelier Deshaus | Photo by Shu He The architecture is divided into two general parts: one is the rational and efficient area, which is composed of 15 classrooms and a number of playrooms; the other is the intentionally enlarged transportation space, which is a atrium with ramp ways connecting with different storey. This atrium contributes to an emotional and entertaining spatial experience that is beyond the common daily experiencing. Beside the transportation function, it is the vagueness and uncertainty that also provide a number of possibilities in spatial utilization.

Apart from the two separated shapes of this architecture, the constantly transformed height among different floors is been represented onto the façade as well. The open activity space are being put into these changed elevation places, and the courtyards has been extended along the vertical direction instead of the horizontal direction in the traditional method. Thus, the courtyards and activities of the children act as an important part of the façades.

They are shielded by the architecture and experiencing the inside and outside, the balance of passion and reason.

| House at the Edge of a Forrest \ HILBERINKBOSCH architects Posted: 16 Feb 2012 05:51 AM PST
 Image courtesy HILBERINKBOSCH architects  Concept, drawing courtesy HILBERINKBOSCH architects The house, situated on a beautiful lot at the edge of the forest, consists of two different volumes: an L-shaped base on which an oblong volume balances. Together they form a sculpture which resembles a fallen tree on a pile of earth.  Image courtesy HILBERINKBOSCH architects The public functions of the house are situated in the L-shaped base. The outside walls of the L-shape which face the public road look unapproachable and secretive. The wall is made with long, dark, robust bricks emphasizing the horizontal lines.  Image courtesy HILBERINKBOSCH architects The interior of the house is open and light. The living space is connected with the terrace, the garden and the forest and a flood of light is entering the house. The garden facade of the house is formed by a concrete structure, the imagination of modern living within the rampart.  Image courtesy HILBERINKBOSCH architects On this basement a timber volume is placed in which the more private rooms such as bed- and bathrooms are situated. The wooden volume resembles a fallen tree, balancing on the firm base. The steel structure of this volume has been clad with wood out of Louro Preto, an FSC certified tropical hardwood.  Image courtesy HILBERINKBOSCH architects The wooden volume protrudes far beyond the base, forming sheltered places around the house. On one side the timber volume is firmly anchored to the ground with a glass volume. Angled and sturdy steel columns protect the glass. On the garden side, the wooden volume forms a seven meter wide overhang. This overhang provides shade and frames the terrace forming a continuum of the interior, a space between in- and outside.  Image courtesy HILBERINKBOSCH architects All the edges of the different volumes are made without any eaves, the material dissolves in the air. This reinforces the abstract appearance of the sculpture. Just as a wanderer, caught in a thunderstorm, will seek shelter under a fallen tree, the inhabitants will find protection in this house. + About HILBERINKBOSCH architectsThe various projects of HILBERINKBOSCH architects, ranging from private and project-based housing, offices, renovations and large-scale urban studies, are characterized by a conceptual approach. The base of all concepts is formed by a precise analysis of the history, the urban lot, function, requirements and potentials. Form, material and colour arises from this concept, representing the poetry of life. The different aspects of study slowly grow into an actual building. The building becomes part of the poetry, part of the memory, it becomes meaningful. We are passionately seeking for the smartest solution for complex cases. + Project factsHOUSE AT THE EDGE OF A FORREST + All images and drawings courtesy HILBERINKBOSCH architects | Photo by René de Wit + Paul Kozlowski                           |
