Comprehensive In-Patient and Out-Patient Psychiatric Facility
Design and construction supervision services in cooperation with KMD Architects and HDP Overseas
The first mental health centre of excellence in the Gulf, Al Amal Psychiatric Complex is built on a 24-acre site. It serves as a prototype facility showcasing a uniquely aesthetic design approach for all levels of adolescent and adult psychiatric care and substance rehabilitation.
The overall design of the complex is like an oasis or a village surrounded by dense vegetation that separates it from its neighbours. The project received LEED certification. The main three-story structure is complemented by free-standing buildings including a mosque, auditorium, gymnasiums, staff housing, and a halfway-house for patients. The use of water elements such as pools and fountains provides a cooling element, as well as a therapeutic and healing environment.
