Severely mentally handicapped people mostly live in harsh, prison-cell like conditions, to protect themselves and their environment. This housing unit is a test case to address this issue in another way. By greatly exploring new techniques and materials we were able to create an environment that is molest-free and friendly at the same time. Carefully tailored sensory experiences helped to create a rich environment that contributed to a much greater wellbeïng of the particular patient.
