Health Care Facility Mental healthcare is an increasing problem in my borough and I wanted to address this through my design proposal. The building will have facilities and therapeutic spaces for users who need mental health support and treatment including: Professional advice Group therapy sessions Overnight stays The centre will also be accessible to users with demanding jobs suffering from stress and anxiety and growing symptoms of everyday stresses which are increasing. The ground floor includes a social space which will also house an interior landscaped atrium. I will be designing an extension that will be used as a social and talking space that will lead directly to the atrium area. 01 My design can offer work experience and apprentices for students studying in the field of healthcare where they will have the opportunity to work directly with patients and learn professional skills. 02 [01] Interior landscape seating space [02] Site plans [03] Material visual 03
