The Social Psychiatric Center Orion in Hillerød is a home for adults whose lives are affected by severe symptoms of mental illness and psychosis. The centre comprises 38 housing units, a hostel and a cultural centre with a café, gym, computer cafe, workshops and music room.
Orion's management is very conscious and aware that the physical environment is vital for the residents and staff’s wellbeing. There are on-going efforts to enhance and adapt both indoor and outdoor spaces functionally and architecturally (form, materials / surfaces and light). The primary goal is to create an inspiring, sensory-stimulating, safe and pleasant atmosphere. AG5 has also designed new emergency admissions facilities for psychiatric patients.
