This document summarizes a psychiatric clinic built in Rodez, France in 2007. The clinic was designed to erase the intimidating image of psychiatric buildings by creating varied visual situations using stepped volumes and open spaces. It is composed of a psychiatric clinic with 40 bedrooms, a medico-psychological centre, and a day hospital centered around shared technical services. The building is shaped like an H, providing views into and below the structure, and uses level changes to embed parts of the building into the hillside for privacy while projecting other parts outward on steel structures.

This project is built on a steep north-facing site and is composed of -a psychiatric clinic with forty bedrooms, -a medico-psychological centre and -a day hospital, all centered around a shared set of technical services. The level of the access road at the top of the site has been extended into a vast horizontal slab overhanging the site, leaving space below for a covered parking while also providing a convincing platform for the main construction.

The result is a building full of surprises, where the interplay between the stepped volumes and open spaces creates a delightfully unconventional environment. The building is on 4 levels, with the lower levels embedded in the hillside on one side and the projecting slabs independently supported using a wide span steel structure. It is H-shaped in plan, providing views into and below the building, with the central bar of the H used for circulation.

Functional Content Day Hospital and 40 Psychiatric Beds arranged in two wings of 20beds
Shortlisted project in the World Architecture Festival. The architects aim to design the clinic was to erase the intimidating prison-like image that a psychiatric building so often has had in the past in the eyes of the public. "By creating many different visual situations, the presence of the outside scenery, either through deliberate framing, or through a careful visual theme, can be perceived in many different and in habitual ways. That was their architectural as well as our therapeutic aim; to reach beyond the geometry of urban normality, to help the mildly depressive patients compose a new vision of the world by confronting them with a reality that is subtly and stimulatingly different.
SECTION
All 40 of the patient bedrooms are on the top floor, which projects out at treetop height. Care units and common areas are then placed at strategic points to aid with orientation and spatial punctuation. Immediately underneath are patient dining and leisure spaces, plus group therapy rooms. On ground floor are a spacious reception linked to staff quarters on the east overlooking the town and its cathedral The medico psychological centre to the west with meeting rooms, art, music and therapy spaces cantilevered out overlooking the trees. The car park and technical centre is entirely glazed with bamboo screens shading the south facing side.
