The feature is centred around The Junipers Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in Exeter - a purpose-built facility designed to help people with complex mental health needs.
We worked closely with Devon Partnership NHS Trust (DPT) from the outset to understand the requirements of the space and how we could help to create a safe environment for both patients and staff - without it looking institutional.
