Psychiatric Clinic

 

Austin, TX 2021

 
 
 
 

The buildings which accommodate people experiencing medical conditions much be equally serviceable for staff and welcoming for relatives as they are comforting for residents. Our proposal is a conventional ‘shell-and-core’ tenant improvement for both a clinic and a psychiatry office.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The plan creates legible circulation throughout. A large waiting area creates a comfortable environment from which visitors can access a generous reception area and wide corridors that establish a consistent sense of orientation - something often lacking in standard clinics.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The bed / sitting rooms and consultation rooms are laid out around a continuous corridor and face generous windows that allow ample daylight and natural ventilation. Timber is used to respond to sustainable needs, and avoid an institutional environment.
