This project, sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club, involved the complete renovation and spatial redesign of the Adolescent Mental Health Centre within United Christian Hospital.
The goal was to transform an institutional medical environment into a warm, optimistic, and therapeutic space that promotes mental wellness for young patients. Through the integration of colour psychology, playful graphics, and natural materials, the design creates a calming yet uplifting environment — encouraging healing, self-expression, and positive social interaction.
