Holistic wellbeing – creating a facility that embraces Country to empower new models of care

Alexandria Health Centre

Mental illness is a significant issue in Australia, affecting one in five people every year. Despite major advancements in our understanding of what causes mental health conditions, treatment is still largely provided in traditional, institutional facilities. Alexandria Health Centre set out to change that, creating a facility that translates the best of what we've learnt into a new model of care.
Nature and science have been intertwined to harness the healing power of both – facilitating holistic wellbeing.
Transition spaces have been deliberately treated with soft edges, greenery, intuitive wayfinding, and clear sightlines to reduce anxiety in moments of high stress.
