家庭及儿童中心
Family and Children’s Centre

哈塞尔海港家庭儿童中心位于墨尔本码头区最大超市的屋顶上。该中心为150名从婴儿到五岁的儿童提供空间，旨在展示户外游戏和学习的愿景，将其作为幼儿发展的一个基本方面，并为澳大利亚境内的儿童保育设施建立一个基准。室外区域是墨尔本最大的密集型绿色屋顶之一。设有两个沙坑、挖掘区、水上游乐区、厨房花园和灵活使用的软坠落区− 它被设计成一个供探索的花园。一系列基于自然的游戏空间通过提供一系列多样化和灵活的游戏空间表达了早期学习环境的一个新方向，这些游戏空间可以带来触觉体验和自然游戏，而不会过度规定区域的使用。
HASSELL The Harbour Family and Children’s Centre is located on the rooftop of the largest supermarket in the Melbourne Docklands. Providing spaces for 150 children, from infant to five years, the centre aims to showcase the vision for outdoor play and learning as a fundamental aspect of early childhood development, and establish a benchmark for childcare facilities within Australia. The outdoor area is one of Melbourne’s largest intensive green roofs. Featuring two sandpits, digging patch, water play zone, kitchen garden and a flexible-use soft fall area − it is designed as a garden for exploration. A series of nature-based play spaces express a new direction in early learning environments by providing a range of diverse and flexible play spaces which lead to tactile experiences and nature play without over prescribing the use of the areas.

该中心的可持续性举措包括尽量减少用水和雨水收集。巨大的屋顶面积允许大量雨水收集用于灌溉和再利用，并且在内腔壁内安装了大量的立式水箱。儿童参与监测蓄水量，并通过这种参与了解其重要性。绿色屋顶是减少温室气体排放和应对气候变化的重要工具。这个户外游戏空间成为向新一代传授自然和生态的意义和意义的工具。这种独特的学习环境是快速发展、高密度商业和住宅区内社区基础设施的重要补充。
Sustainability initiatives for the centre included minimisation of water use and rainwater harvesting. The large roof area allows substantial rainwater collection for irrigation and re-use, and prolific vertical tanks are positioned within the internal cavity walls. Children are engaged in monitoring the water storage levels and through this involvement gain an understanding of its importance. Green roofs are an important tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to address climate change. This outdoor play space becomes a tool in teaching new generations about the significance and meaning of nature and ecology. This unique learning environment is an important addition to community infrastructure within a fast-growing, high-density commercial and residential precinct.
