Each ward block is organized to ensure privacy and security, offering individual patient rooms that maximize daylight and nature views, which are crucial for recovery. The wards are anchored by a centrally located administra-tive and activities building, forming an enclosed courtyard that serves as a safe and tranquil outdoor space for social interaction and recreation.
