The centre is designed as a coherent cluster of seven small houses situated around two green courtyards. Each house with an individual function but as a whole they form a continuous spatial experience.
Each house in the coherent cluster has its own specific function which as a whole form a coherent sequence of different spaces such as a library, kitchen, conversation rooms, lounge, workshops, fitness, wellness etc. The building offers a variety of different spatial variations specially selected to embrace informal counseling and visitation with a focus on user comfort and well-being. A varying ceiling height and choice of natural materials leads to a building with its own unique architectural expression clearly differentiates it from the surrounding hospital buildings.
