MENTAL HEALTH CENTRE

Victoria St, Chatswood

The brief was to provide a fresh approach to a mental health hospital/facility. The corner site presented numerous constraints which we were able to turn into opportunities including narrow allotment which was responded with a unique building form. We were able to accommodate twenty beds spread over three levels of the building with basement car parking. The colour of the shimmering façade would change throughout the day depending on reflection from the sun lifting the spirits of users and the community.
