Project

Mental health facility at Northern Hospital

NH Architecture and NTC Architects design an acute mental health facility at Northern Hospital, responding directly to recommendations from the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System. The final report outlined the need for care environments that are supportive, caring, welcoming and safe for people who present to the mental health system in crisis.

A co-design process was undertaken to work with clinicians, nurses, stakeholders, and people who have lived experience of mental illness. Consultation continued throughout the design process to generate an innovative response to the functional design brief.
