Healthcare — Seclusion & mental health

Seclusion and mental health environments

Design and construction of seclusion rooms and mental health environments that balance safety, observation and calm finishes in line with NHS guidance and clinical expectations.

Safe, calm seclusion and mental health spaces

We create seclusion rooms and mental health environments that protect at risk patients and support staff with clear observation, safe detailing and durable finishes. Layouts, fixtures and services are developed with clinical teams so they work in practice as well as on paper.

Typical scopes include seclusion suites with lobbies and sanitary spaces, bedroom and day areas, nurse bases, interview and therapy rooms, de-escalation spaces and associated circulation. Anti ligature doors and hardware, vision panels, ventilation, call systems and lighting are coordinated to reduce risk and support calm environments.
