PROJECT BACKGROUND

Drug rehabilitation centres rely on individuals’ isolation from the outside world and intensive physical labour to recover from addiction. However, addiction is a severe psychological obstacle, and coercive methods only exacerbate the problem, leaving the individual vulnerable to relapse.

This rehabilitation centre implements principles of 12-step therapy. It places the individual at the centre of the recovery journey. We have meticulously designed every aspect of the building to reflect the 12-step process, from the treatment dialogue to the physical spaces. The unique feature, the "Rising Whirlpool," at the heart of the building, guides individuals step-by-step towards self-discovery and healing.
