On the edge of a clearing, the square building nestles among the trees, opening out onto the landscape. The rough concrete texture, in a noticeably green tint, echoes the verdant surroundings and softens the strict positioning of the structure. The indoor areas have been designed in close collaboration with the association responsible for housing these patients, so that they match the residents’ needs as closely as possible. Thus lighting and views, colours and textures, acoustic arrangements and furnishings have all been designed with the everyday requirements of the place’s users in mind.
