TTC 西贡精英幼儿园位于西贡市西3区，这里紧靠市区火车站。这座新幼儿园是在原有建筑的基础上改建而成的。它被设计成一个简单纯粹的几何形状，以激发孩子们的好奇心，并让孩子们每天都能够与它互动。

TTC Elite Saigon Kindergarten is located to the west of District 3, close the city’s railway station. The new kindergarten is built upon an existing foundation inherited from the previous building. It is simply conceived in a pure geometric shape to provoke a sense of curiosity for the kids as they interact with it on a daily basis.

该建筑共有5层楼，下面3层用作教室和室内游乐场。上面2层用于组织活动，员工培训和学校管理部门。作为孩子们的“游戏”之家，该幼儿园建筑通过简单的造型与高宽窗户之间构成一定的比例关系，有趣地表现出了它的特征。窗口布置似乎是随机的，但它还是通过系统地计算确保了每间教室在使用时获得足够的自然光和通风。加长的窗台也有助于防止阳光照进室内空间。

Consist of 5 levels, the building’s first 3 floors are reserved for classrooms and indoor playgrounds. The upper floors are for organizing events, staff training, and school administration departments. As a “play” house for kids, the kindergarten architecture playfully expressed its character through the relationship between its simplistic form and its height to width window composition ratio. The window arrangement seems random yet it is systematically calculated to ensure each classroom behind gets adequate natural daylight and ventilation when in use. The extended windowsill helps to prevent direct sunlight from coming into the interior space.

窗户就是一个孔洞，可以从里面看到外面的风景，这样可以激发孩子们情感思维、想象力和好奇心，让在室内玩耍的孩子和不断变化的外部生活环境之间建立起直接的关系。光线透过这些窗户可以沿着彩色的窗台流动，就像染色的色彩流淌在室内空间里，吟唱出一种迷人而又童话般的氛围。

The windows are apertures that peer the view from inside to outside, stimulating emotion, imagination, and curiosity, establishing a direct relationship between the kids playing inside and the living, ever-changing external environment. Through the openings, light runs along the colored windowsill, highlighting and washing over the interior space with its dyed color, reciting an enchanted and fairytale-like atmosphere.

从整体上看，该建筑与邻近社区的住宅相类似，是一种立体主义的表现形式。然而，通过对周围环境及其历史特征的敏感性，该幼儿园的引入给该地区带来了清新、迷人和活泼的气息。

In a holistic view, the architecture resembles a cubist form similar to the neighboring housing blocks. Yet by being sensitive to the surrounding context, and its historical trait, the introduction of the kindergarten into the grid has brought a fresh, attractive and lively breath into the area.
