The Sub Acute Mental Health Unit at Shoalhaven Hospital provides a 20 bed Sub Acute Adult Mental Health service, in a unit that caters for mixed gender clients aged between 18 and 65. The design intent is to provide a building with a scale and character that relates to the existing recent buildings on the campus while achieving a domestic light filled interior. The location of the facility, on the North Eastern edge of the Campus and the elevated nature of the building provides opportunities for extensive tree canopy and distant views without compromising the privacy of patients.
