VEJLE PSYCHIATRY HOSPITAL
VEJLE PSYCHIATRY HOSPITAL, VEJLE, DENMARK
Visual artist Signe Guttormsen has creatively developed a completely unique artistic guide for the psychiatric hospital in Vejle.
Arkitema was responsible for the architecture, while Signe Guttormsen handled the guided decoration and ornamentation. Based on the compass, she created a lighting concept that both unifies and clarifies the directions and functional potentials of the rooms. Additionally, she developed a system based on the color wheel that guides visitors and patients throughout the complex.
Vejle Phykiatrisygehuset was so successful that the project received the Mental Health Design award at the European Healthcare Design Award 2018 in London.
