Design Details

Unique Properties: Using the idea of sharing space to solve the issue of elementary students’ after school-caring. Utilizing the interesting and safe spaces (ex. treehouse-like ceiling, no-partition and open space, the large curtain glass windows bring the green from the outdoor, the bookcase created by different floor-level height, the reading zone in front of the windows, etc), also matching the various living experience course.

They also invite several classmates and parents to participate in this project, expecting these interesting spaces present to an after-school secret site for kids enjoying and parents satisfying.
Research: Because of the parents’ working time and competitive kids’ school work, one-third of the students should go to cram school after school until 9 pm in Taiwan. The phenomenon leads to some problems with society and children growing. As a result, we propose the concept of the sharing space to create a place for children activities after school. The place is also used as office space for the parents and it could add more the parent-child time. Different from the studying space in cram school, the course on the site would be held in turns by mothers who have various interests. They would let children study together, experience some artwork and share the living.
Challenge: 1.Using the idea of sharing space to solve the issue of elementary students’ after school-caring. 2.Utilizing the interesting and safe spaces (ex. treehouse-like ceiling, no-partition and open space, the large curtain glass windows bring the green from the outdoor, the bookcase created by different floor-level height, the reading zone in front of the windows, etc), also matching the various living experience course. The project offers an after-school space for kids enjoying and parents satisfying. 3.More parents with different skills take part in this project and design these various courses. Unexpectedly, the parents share the living experience with each other by participating.
Realization and Technology: 1.The large curtain glass windows bring the green from the outdoor. 2.The treehouse-like ceiling adds the spatial atmosphere of the secret site. 3.The whole area is no-partition and the open space increase the activities area. 4.Applying lots of the high-transparent and reflective materials makes space be without the dangerous corners. 5.Utilizing the different floor-level height to define the place, distinguish the different programs and increase the delight.
Operation and Interaction: The design concept utilizes sharing space to create a secret site for children. This project lets them enjoy and look forward to going to the site for learning, experiencing and sharing after school. In order to achieve this goal, we do this project in two parts. First, we organize the parents to design the numerous courses out of the range of the textbooks, such as cooking, pottery, picture book reading, painting, exercising. Second, we refer to these courses to mix into space. The interesting and safe are the main concept in spatial design.
