As experienced designers we can assist in the delivery of high quality care by creating attractive, humane, dignified and therapeutic physical environments.
Our approach as designers is to:

• provide natural separation between public and secure spaces, which avoids the impression of containment and allows ease of unobtrusive supervision by staff
• optimise functional independence, freedom and dignity for the patients without compromising the clinical and therapeutic objectives
• minimise the image of security and maximise the concept of normality
• design circulation routes as interactive places
• recognise the critical importance of access to landscaped external space as part of the clinical process
