next step - treatment center for early onset psychosis

Intersection of Dixwell, Munson, & Orchard Streets
Gross Area: 45,000 square feet
Design proposal for an early-psychosis outpatient center in the heart of New Haven.
The design proposal should investigate how the modularity and adaptability of CLT construction can create safe and comforatable spaces for mental rehabilitation.
Proposals presented to the Yale School of Medicine STEP (Specialized Treatment Early in Psychosis) clinic.
NEXT STEP uses a tartan grid to create a high performing building, in terms of spatial legibility, structural adaptability, and energy efficiency.
The primary driving factors for this project are to create a space that is inviting yet private, and natural yet protected.
