京西学校中庭WAB中庭，北京/室内设计

The Western Academy of Beijing Atrium or WAB Atrium is a community learning space that is dynamic and flexible in design. As one of the most active spaces for WAB students, our renovation incorporates multi-functionality, modern aesthetics, optimal lighting, improved acoustics, and more efficient traffic flow.

学生可以选择坐在从餐桌到酒吧凳角落和小房子围墙的座位样式中。作为 K-12 教育机构，不同的座位选择反映了适合不同年龄段的大小范围。通过在空间中心安装两个大型岛屿部分，我们创建了两个自然区域，其边界容纳了额外的长椅。

Students can choose to sit among seating styles from dining tables to bar stool nooks and small house enclosures. As a K-12 educational institution, the different seating options reflect the range in size to suit various age groups. By installing two large island sections at the center of the space, we created two natural zones, the borders of which house additional benches.

“我们希望我们的设计能够通过社区意识来营造强烈的身份认同感，允许来自多个方向的交通流。” – Karin Hepp，anySCALE Architecture Design 的创始人兼管理合伙人。

"We wanted our design to create a strong identity through a sense of community, allowing traffic flow from multiple directions." – Karin Hepp, Founder & Managing Partner of anySCALE Architecture Design.

整个空间可容纳约 300 名学生，每个岛可容纳约 40 名儿童。最重要的是，这些岛屿被设计成围场，为年轻学生提供了一种舒适和保护的感觉。其中一个岛屿专门为幼儿园儿童提供定制的小家具。

The overall space can seat upwards of around 300 students, and each island can seat up to approximately 40 children. Most importantly, the islands are designed as enclosures, providing a sense of comfort and protection for younger students. One of the islands is dedicated to kindergarteners exclusively with custom-made small furniture pieces.

我们不仅在空间的外观和功能方面发挥了重要作用，而且还负责其温暖的照明和声音调节。在新的锯齿形镶板旁边，一群鸟模仿飞向二楼的飞行，兼具灯光和隔音功能。

Not only were we instrumental in the look and functionality of the space, but we were also responsible for its warm lighting and sound conditioning. Alongside the new zig-zag paneling, a flock of birds imitates flight rising toward the second floor, doubling as a light and sound dampening feature.

丛林风格的植物是小型恐龙陶瓷的家园，可写白板门可用于演示或打开以露出厨房。最后，我们的改造融合了WAB主办城市和国家——中国北京——的图像，并以紫禁城为灵感的金红色调色板。

A jungle-style borde of plants is home to small dinosaur ceramics, and the writable whiteboard doors can be used for presentations or opened to reveal the kitchen. Finally, our renovations incorporate imagery from WAB's host city and country – Beijing, China – with a red-gold color palette inspired by the Forbidden City.
