‘Livsrum’ Counseling Centre is designed as a transparent and free-flowing building that comprises a range of different programmatic and spatial experiences. This allows for a high level of social interaction amongst visitors, caregivers, and counselors while also respecting the need for privacy and autonomy required within a hospital environment. The building, located between the hospital area and an old villa neighborhood, is flanked on each of its longest sides by high-traffic streets. The main challenge, therefore, was to negotiate quiet and calm spaces within the boisterous context.
