Between the high street and railway line, a sleep clinic is set within a small forest and a series of gardens structured by slate stacks and a publicly accessible sheltered pathway. Here, clinicians can empower patients to take active control over their sleep in a range of open-air and enclosed sleeping spaces. Investigating adaptive reuse through the poetics and practicalities of material properties, the project formulates a highly sculpted and elemental environment which questions institutional assumptions and aesthetics around hygiene and comfort.
