Rowan View

IBI Group’s landscape and interior design ethos explicitly address recovery. Utilizing curves and liminal transitional spaces throughout the interior and exterior of the building, our ‘rings of recovery’ design aesthetic will ensure patient engagement during their sessions.

The facility’s design prioritizes natural light as a key element to human well-being. Ward accommodations include views of external green spaces that are easily accessible. Additionally, the therapy hub is designed in a circular arrangement around a central landscaped courtyard to provide patients with a calming therapeutic environment.

Virtual reality was used throughout the design process to progress building design sign-off without the need to meet in person during the pandemic. The facility was also designed to meet BREEAM Excellent standards, supporting the future of sustainable healthcare through energy-efficient principles.

Mersey Care NHS Foundation sought to reconfigure care services across the region, integrate expertise and innovative approaches to care and recovery, and create a new centre of excellence in forensic care. Our clinically led design has ensured the building fully supports the application of expert knowledge and strategic aspirations, underpins fundamental clinical transformation, and amplifies the impact of treatment rather than merely enabling it.
