Södra Älvsborg Hospital Psychiatric Clinic was inaugurated in October last year with the aim to design Sweden’s best psychiatry with the dignity of a public building, yet without the feeling of a closed institutional facility.

The new clinic is a healing environment that protects the patient’s integrity and offers a calming workplace for the staff. By adopting a humanist design approach that encourages interaction with the nature, the clinic provides a safe haven for patient recovery, relatives and staff alike. For some time now, there has been a healthy questioning of traditional care environments. In this project, destigmatising mental health has been a high priority.
The winners are announced at a ceremony at the European Healthcare Design 2021 Congress on June 17. Read more about the project here.
