Medical Psychiatric Unit, Nijmegen

The Medical Psychiatric Unit offers tailored care, supported by an environment in which architectural quality and technology are fully integrated. The functional, safe and wellness-like environment of the psychiatric department stimulates the autonomy and independence of patients and ensures that care providers work as efficiently as possible. Everything is geared to providing optimal care.

Daylight, views, greenery and various gradations of privacy ensure a healing environment inside the building. Atmospherically designed spaces stimulate encounters and interaction while also allowing patients to withdraw into their private rooms. Greenery not only provides inspiration and peace but also stimulates movement and social contact.

The clinic is transformed from a gloomy and confined space into a homely, well-planned and atmospheric environment with plenty of daylight, a comfortable interior climate, and various gradations of privacy. The innovative and pioneering design for the clinic breaks with tradition, cleverly ensuring the safety and ‘wellbeing’ of patients and care professionals in a strikingly pleasant and healing environment.
