鄉間托嬰轉型
過往因城鄉差距之故，鄉間托嬰照護多以私立為主，公立托嬰單位明顯不足。因此，創造適切的托嬰照護場所，即成為鄉間現階段的重要議題。
本案(冬山鄉公設民營托嬰中心)位於冬山鄉義成路三段與鹿安路轉角處，是宜蘭地區第一棟以托嬰需求為出發規劃的新建托育中心，寄望本建築完成後，能為新手爸媽提供產前知識教育、嬰兒照顧及幼兒陪伴的場所。
友善配置策略
1.臨街道的友善退縮，增加行人安全
基地兩側道路為重要的交通要道，來往車輛眾多，故前後留設彈性活動廣場，讓建築與街道保有緩衝空間，並採取L型量體配置，以增加行人行進安全與活動空間。
2.防曬節能的策略引入
室內托嬰空間採取複層結構外牆系統，第一層外牆阻擋直射日曬，第二層外牆大量開窗引入間接光線至室內，保有穩定光源的同時，也保有通風開口。
建築設計概念
團隊細心觀察嬰幼兒的成長過程，將幼兒成長區分為三個重要階段: 1.初生期2.爬行期3.學步期。幼兒在各階段的感受方式皆不相同，故將窗的開口高度，控制在45cm以上，75cm以下的範圍內，以回應幼兒的視覺感知高度，讓建築開口形式真實的地呈現幼兒需求。
1.初生期_提供朦朧微光的溫柔感受
初生期的幼兒由於五感未全，只能感受到朦朧的外在環境，當然也不宜給予過強的刺激。故利用空心磚多孔洞特性，圍砌複層外牆，大幅降低了外界傳遞至室內的訊息強度，讓陽光均勻漫射、讓風輕柔流動，能軟化及模糊外界的聲音，讓初生兒感受到的是本建築所提供的溫柔善意。
2.爬行期_律動光線的啟發
爬行期的幼兒，對於任何細小的變動都能敏銳感知，光可成為引發好奇的來源，在育嬰空間設置厚實的複層外牆，可使陽光因時間的變化，產生折射的律動線條，提供幼兒觀察外在環境的細膩變化，開啟爬行期幼兒對外界的好奇探索。
3.學步期_幼兒與外界的自然對話
學步期的幼兒，對於外界訊息專注度更高，常會主動攀附任何水平的物件，以輔助站立，並踏步開啟好奇之路。本建築的貼心設計是在幼兒學步保育室中，設計了45-75公分高的水平帶狀窗，在協助孩童踏出每一步的同時，也能感受到田野風吹舞動、蟲鳴鳥叫聲、自然的落雨聲等，讓幼兒與大自然發展出珍貴且無形的對話。
World Through a Child’s Eyes - Horizon Beneath 75cm
Reshaping the Rural Daycare
In contrast to well-developed urban areas, rural regions often face a shortage of public daycare institutions, thus daycare is handled by private organizations and individuals. Therefore, it is essential to address the necessity for establishing adequate facilities in rural areas with utmost priority.
Situated at the intersection of section 3 Yicheng Road and Luan Road, the Dongshan Public Infant Daycare Center stands as the first newly constructed public daycare facility in Yilan County with a primary focus on infant care, and a mission to provide health and childbirth education for expecting parents and nurturing environment for the newborns.
Friendly Planning Strategies
1.Pedestrian safety improvement through setback approach
The site is adjacent to two arterial roads with high traffic flow. Prioritizing safety measures, the building was configured in the letter ‘L’ shape, allowing for a safe distance between structures and roads, providing a buffer for pedestrian passage, and versatile open space for various activities.
2.Sun control and energy conservation approach
To reduce the building’s heat load and energy consumption, the façade design adopted a double-layered exterior wall. The outer layer effectively restricts excessive sunlight from permeating the building. The inner layer has numerous openings to optimize softer light entry while simultaneously facilitating natural ventilation.
Design Concept
Early childhood development encompasses three distinct stages; 1) Newborn, 2) Infant, and 3) Toddler, wherein children experience varying levels of sensory development. To cater to the physical scale of children within each stage, the height of façade openings has been precisely calibrated to range from 45 to 75 cm, enabling the outer world to be visible from their own perspective.
1. The Newborn stage – Embracing gentle illumination
During the Newborn stage, when vision and sensory receptors are still developing, infants adapt to their surroundings and respond to sensory stimuli. Hollow brick façades serve as a protective barrier, shielding them from extreme external environments while allowing softer light to permeate their space. This gentle illumination nurtures their sensory experiences, minimizing overwhelming elements that could overstimulate their developing senses.
2. The Infant stage – Indications of a bigger world
Driven by their newfound senses, infants eagerly absorb the ever-changing world around them. Sensitivity to environmental variations is heightened during this stage. By incorporating a double-layered façade, the design ensures a secure and nurturing environment. The interplay of sunlight reflecting and evolving throughout the day kindles their curiosity, offering glimpses of a larger world beyond the walls.
3. The Toddler stage – Embarking on a Journey of Exploration
Curiosity becomes the driving force for toddlers as they embark on their exploratory journey. Equipped with developing motor skills, they eagerly navigate their surroundings, taking their first steps towards discovery. To accommodate their physical scale, the design features windowsills positioned at a height of 45 cm, facilitating their movement and providing a window into the natural wonders of the world, adorned with views of vibrant green landscapes, chirping birds, blossoming flowers, and the harmonious melodies of nature, initiating their first interactions with the mother nature.
