Maison Stéphane Hessel
by Julien De Smedt Architects


Julien De Smedt Architects and BIG
Location: Helsingør, Denmark
Helsingør Psychiatric Hospital rethinks healthcare architecture as an open, calm and human-centred environment. Organised around a central structure with smaller connected wings, the building combines efficient supervision with privacy, autonomy and access to landscaped courtyards. Natural light, clear circulation and domestic-scale spaces help reduce the institutional character of the hospital, creating a therapeutic setting designed around the needs of patients and staff.
