Mental health is the biggest health issue facing young Australians with 75% of problems emerging before the age of 25. Steensen Varming developed the concept design for this mental health facility, in close collaboration with the architects, embracing design principles set out to stimulate the repair and restoration of a youth’s mental health. All the services were designed to support the creation of a non-threatening, healing environment with limited boundaries, flexible spaces and natural light.
