High Care

The Mental Clinic High Care is a closed facility accommodating people with severe psychiatric difficulties. The design contributes to the improvement of their situation by concentrating on the experience and connection between inside and outside. This is made possible by introducing daylight into the building core, unorthodox corridors, and interaction with the landscape through views and use of materials. These interventions add up to a greater well-being for the clients thus resulting in a dramatic reduction of patient aggressiveness and less need for separation.
