New facility for psychiatric care and research located in central Uppsala. A key word for the design concept is openness that is well demonstrated in the regular fenestration to the facades and clarity of the plans. Outpatient and inpatients share same floors integrated with workstation space for researchers and students. Generous common areas include a restaurant, library, auditorium, and central public atrium at ground floor. Great importance has been attached to designing individual treatment rooms as a safe ”home” for the patient. This also allows for privacy in the form of a contemplative space in harmony with nature outside. At roof level an activity centre and rooftop garden has been designed with patient recovery in mind.
