helsingør hospital – psychiatric ward
The new psychiatric ward at Helsingør Hospital is envisioned as a dynamic and living organism, rooted in a simple and plainly comprehensible main principle.
The sections of the ward are centred closely around the common functions in a strong and compact building composition, meeting the demands for nearness, security and functionality, and which at the same time integrates the building complex beautifully with landscape and the existing buildings.
The layout facilitates inter-disciplinary contact and exchange of information between the various professional groupings, and it ensures the largest possible rationality in the daily work with the patients. The openness, sound layout and variety of the building creates a confidence-inspiring framework for patients, visitors and staff, where they feel safe and shown a great deal of attention.
