Dunbar’s Hidden Garden is a place where mental and physical health have equal importance. Located within Dunbar Gardens, the building contains private and group consultation areas, sporting facilities and a public café for all to use. The centre takes advantage of the existing Dunbar Gardens, providing a close connection with nature, proven to have a positive impact on health and well-being. The hidden garden is placed in the centre of the building, accessible to all users through the internal street and fully incorporated into the consultation area. The space can be fully opened into the garden and create an interesting blend between inside and out. This idea is continued throughout the building where possible, to reinforce the importance of nature
