Recognizing the critical role of the physical environment in mental health and well-being, this project focuses on the design of a specialized facility to address the unique challenges faced by adolescents dealing with PTSD. The architectural concept aims to contribute to the healing process and support therapy progress.
The location chosen for the facility is strategically situated in the XII district in the Zugliget area along Csillagvölgyi Street in Budapest. This choice takes into account geographic considerations and aligns with community factors to ensure accessibility and integration within the local context. In summary, the Integrative Healing Center for Adolescent PTSD seeks to address the multifaceted challenges posed by PTSD in young individuals by providing a purposefully designed space that promotes healing, encourages therapeutic progress, and supports the overall well-being of adolescents on their journey to recovery.
The facility adopts a holistic approach to treatment, providing a diverse range of therapies tailored to meet individual needs. This comprehensive strategy involves a multidisciplinary team of dedicated staff members and specialized facilities to ensure a well-rounded and effective healing environment.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN
FIRST FLOOR PLAN
SECOND FLOOR PLAN
The project is designed to offer extended treatment programs which require residential functions to accommodate both participants and overnight staff.
THIRD FLOOR PLAN
The main load-bearing system is a skeleton frame system that consists of monolithic reinforced concrete columns and beams. The projected building has a highwater level on the site, that is why it was decided to design a slab foundation.
Strip footing was designed on the perimeter of the building and as a continuation of the shear walls (60 cm thick). The footing is constructed in "steps" form that rests on terraced areas of the terrain. The third floor of the object was designed as a greenhouse with a separate steel structure. The beams on the third floor have a 5% slope to the shape of the roof of the top floor. A circular girder is designed at the bend on the south side of the greenhouse.
