) Inuo Mental Hospital has been serving as accessible local health care facility for a long time. This project was constructed to replace outdated old building.To maintain number of bed in the new building under the current regulation, every aspects had been thoroughly scrutinised to rationalise the floor plan, I .e. from the size of rooms to its operation.Despite rationalisation of floor plan, various lounge-like communal spaces were provided in each block for inpatients' comfort. Colours and materials were carefully selected to characterise each spaces and, overall, they contributed to crate unprecedented image of mental hospital as we aimed.
