The design of the Mental Health Care Pavilion aims to support innovative patient-centred care practices. In the psychiatric sector, the goal is to de-stigmatize the patient by offering places that make us forget the institutional aspect. The objective of the designers was thus to offer patients a care space similar to a residential living environment, in particular by providing users with numerous views and access to outdoor spaces. To achieve this on a limited site, a fragmented volume with a suburban appearance was preferred in order to maintain the urban scale and take advantage of the supply of natural light. The project, centred on an interior garden and a welcoming atrium, promotes links to the outside with its five closed courtyards and a central courtyard open to all; it has in fact been proven that green spaces are a determining factor in the healing process for this type of clientele. The designers have, of course, demonstrated just as much sensitivity for the development of the interior spaces. They dedicated their efforts to creating an open-plan environment open to the outside world, ensuring that the organization of the spaces was comfortable and adapted to the human scale. This is also reflected in simple layouts, where the integration of wood is preferred. In addition, users benefit from countless openings to the outside, which, at the same time, provide a generous supply of natural light. As for the rooms, they have been designed in such a way as to favour the impression of a cocoon while allowing clinicians to have visual control of them from the entrance. The nursing stations are open-plan but secured by glass panels, and the control mechanisms are concealed there.
The Pavilion has been realized in consortium with Provencher_Roy and Yves Woodrough architects.
