本案試圖定義一種介於獨棟式與機構式的育幼院建築: 三棟小家的立體化帶來空中花園,大屋頂的包覆則是育幼院作為社福機構最直接的象徵。

The project explores a mix-building type of children home from small houses to a big institution. Three single masses referring to private children homes are elevated to create public programs underneath and sky playground in between. As an institution expression, a long big overhanging roof wraps up these masses into one single building, literally addressing the idea of shelter architecture.
