Studio G Architects designed the new WRAP units in awareness of the prior trauma experienced by WRAP residents and the need to de-institutionalize the existing environment. By breaking down the double loaded corridors and creating openings in interior walls, the design creates views into common spaces, to the sky and the courtyards. Various types of indoor and outdoor spaces offer a range of destinations for individual time and be in different size social groupings. The space also allows for different types of therapy: one-on-one and group.
The existing finishes were aged and institutional. Wherever possible, existing finish materials were replaced with warm, tactile, and natural finishes. In the halls and common spaces, the walls were covered in painted gypsum wall board with accent colors to energize the space. Home-like furnishings create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
The significant influence of nature in behavioral health and rehabilitation is a central tenet of Trauma-Informed Design, and this project goes above and beyond by providing access to fresh air and landscaped courtyards that offer residents the opportunity to heal and find well-being through connections with nature. DMH plans to use the courtyards regularly for small and large-group activities, as well as informal use by residents. The courtyards have space for walking, small gatherings, individual space, recreation and gardening.
