This new building was designed to house a Center for Psychosocial Rehabilitation for social-health uses, promoted from the Area of Mental Health of the Provincial Government, in a plot located at the Centro Dr. Esquerdo complex, in the municipality of San Juan de Alicante.
In accordance with technical specifications, the project attempts to meet the needs derived from two entities concurring in the same plot: a residence for people with serious mental disorders that do not require hospitalization, and secondly, the Center for Social Rehabilitation and Integration (CRIS) and a Day Center for those with serious mental disorders. The building provides an open and flexible residential community service for those with chronic mental disorders that do not require hospitalization. On the other hand, the Day Center is a specialized and specific center for persons with serious mental disorders, with a great deterioration of their functional capacities and of their social environment, where functional recovery programs and structured activities for the occupation of free time are carried out throughout the day, in an open regime, for a number of up to 25 people. The CRIS, for 50 users, is defined as a center of specific and specialized services addressed to those persons with a chronic mental illness, with a significant deterioration of the functional capacities, where work programs suitable to the characteristics, needs, and specific situation of the users are carried out.
The project, in short, develops the winning proposal of the corresponding “de ideas” competition, in which all of the spatial and functional needs were grouped together in a single building, in keeping with the architectonic answer to the peculiarities of the plot, and the savings given the superposition of uses and optimization of the use of space. The scale of the site and the relatively large and peripheral nature of the plot led to the design of a one-story building, with a semi-basement for a car park and auxiliary rooms, linked to a great diaphanous space designed for the creation of a large and well-maintained garden.
The volume is designed as a large paralleliped container, including and organizing the different areas of the program, with single access and a shared garden recreational area. The relatively important separation of the building with regards to the street gives importance to the singular access to the building. The size of the plot allows for a scheme of three areas for different uses. In addition to those related to the exterior and to the garden, there is a wider central bay designed for social activities. A system of patios provides room for the inside of such a deep prism and provides a feeling of intimacy, resolving important matters such as the control and movement of the staff, of the users or of the visitors, with the relevant physical and visual filters.
The scale of the public building can be highlighted by the considerable length of the facade. A system of adjustable vertical slating controls the sunlight, an objective which is delegated to the trees on the inside facade. The slight difference in the level of the garden reinforces privacy and transforms the space into a pleasant oasis.
