This is a partial reconstruction of an existing psychiatric hospital on a site of about 45,000m2. In order to increase the efficiency of treatment by improving the environment, the building was arranged to be close to the greenery and topography by branching the planes. The greenery of the mountain on the west side of the site draws the surrounding environment into the interior. By connecting simple rectangular wards divided by function at an angle, a light garden is arranged between the wards, creating an interior space like a street.
