Entry to the site is via a small road that cuts between two houses. This may feel threatening for people who have mental health conditions, or for those who been abused or attacked in the past. Image by Peter Barber Architects.

Dark and threatening corridors have been avoided in the new hostel and replaced by light, airy and social circulation spaces. Photo by Morley von Sternberg.

'Picture frame’ windows combined with informal seating areas provide space for writing and reading, or simply a spot to put down a cup of coffee. Photo by Morley von Sternberg.

Custom made furniture like these computer stations provide much needed colour to soften the institutional feel. Photo by Morley von Sternberg.

The design of the main entrance is clear and welcoming. Floor to ceiling windows mean you can see the reception desk and staff before you step through the door. Photo by Morley von Sternberg.
