Patients with psychiatric disorders have lower quality of life because of societal stigmatization. This social inequality can be seen in the form of discrimination, social judgments, and local beliefs. Due to these concerns, potential patients decline mental health medical treatment. This change focuses on three user groups: Long-term patients, Potential patients, and Public users.

This project aims for enhancing positive public attitudes toward mental illness patients and psychiatric hospital’s images. Milieu therapy is integrated into the core of the design concept by providing safe and supportive therapeutic environments. During the treatment process, natural therapeutic gardens are used to promote green healing spaces. In the post-treatment program, Milieu therapy promotes social interaction and communication skills for reintegration into society after their recovery.

Emphasizing social outdoor activities is the important concept of milieu therapy, however; the existing green spaces could not facilitate outdoor activities due to unfriendly, confined environments. The team uses Milieu concept to generate new language of therapeutic landscape design across the scales.
