「英中对照」通过共同设计打造更优质治疗空间：Stantec承担多伦多皇后西区20世纪初工业建筑改造为Stella's Place青年心理健康设施的设计工作

How a 20th Century industrial building became a safe space for youth seeking mental health support.一座20世纪的工业建筑如何成为寻求心理健康支持的年轻人的安全空间。

Key Takeaways:关键要点：

• Engaging patients and end users early in the design process can help healthcare teams create spaces that better reflect their experiences, needs and expectations.让患者和终端用户在设计过程早期参与，能够帮助医疗团队打造更能反映其经历、需求和期望的空间。
• Flexible layouts, accessible circulation, natural light, acoustic treatments and user-controlled furnishings can support comfort, privacy and adaptability in mental healthcare environments.灵活的布局、无障碍动线、自然采光、声学处理以及由用户控制的家具陈设，能够在心理健康医疗环境中提升舒适度、隐私感和适应性。
• Adaptive reuse can provide an alternative to traditional clinical settings by preserving existing character while creating welcoming spaces that encourage connection, participation and a sense of belonging.适应性复用可以保留建筑的既有特质，同时营造鼓励联结、参与和归属感的温馨空间，从而提供一种有别于传统临床环境的替代方案。

Healthcare design is not a one-size-fits-all category. The different kinds of treatment patients receive benefit from spaces that are crafted specifically for that function. This statement is especially critical for the design of mental healthcare settings, but the patient’s needs often are evaluated from the wrong perspective. 医疗设计并非“一刀切”的类别。患者接受的不同类型治疗，会因专为该功能精心打造的空间而获益。这一原则对于心理健康医疗环境的设计尤为关键，但患者的需求却往往是从错误的视角来评估的。 

When Stantec was hired to renovate a historic post-and-beam building into a new healthcare environment for Toronto-based Stella’s Place Young Adult Mental Health, designers experienced first-hand the way working with the end user changes the way designers approach a space and the positive impact those spaces can have. A straightforward adaptive reuse project became a case study in the way spaces that make users feel welcome, safe and dignified, leading to increased participation in programming. 当 Stantec 受雇将一座历史悠久的梁柱结构建筑改造为位于多伦多的 Stella’s Place Young Adult Mental Health 的新型医疗环境时，设计师亲身体会到与终端用户合作如何改变设计师处理空间的方式，以及这些空间能够产生的积极影响。一个简单的适应性复用项目成为一个案例，展示了让用户感到受欢迎、安全和有尊严的空间如何提高人们对项目活动的参与度。 

A collaborative approach to design 协作式设计方法 

Stella’s Place is a mental health center that offers a variety of support services oriented toward the specific needs of people aged 16–29. In Canada, people in this demographic are among the most heavily impacted by mental illness, but they are disproportionately underserved by treatment services. Estimates suggest that by age 25, one in five Canadians will have developed some form of mental illness, but less than 20 percent of them will receive appropriate care. Stella’s Place 是一家心理健康中心，提供针对16–29岁人群特定需求的各类支持服务。在加拿大，该年龄段人群属于受精神疾病影响最严重的群体之一，但他们获得的治疗服务却严重不足。估计表明，到25岁时，五分之一的加拿大人会患上某种形式的精神疾病，但其中只有不到20%的人能获得适当照护。 

When Stella’s Place began offering services in 2012, they made it their mission to not only address this service gap but also reimagine what treatment looks like for this demographic. The result surpasses the predominant model of short-term, crisis-oriented services with a more holistic approach framed around community, dignity and long-term resilience. Stella’s Place 于2012年开始提供服务时，其使命不仅是填补这一服务缺口，还要重新构想面向该群体的治疗应是什么样子。其成果超越了短期、以危机干预为主的主流服务模式，采用一种以社区、尊严和长期韧性为核心的更整体性方法。 

It was immediately clear to designers that this organization does things differently, and we were inspired to approach the project with a similar level of open-mindedness for new ideas. The design process began the same way Stella’s Place creates their own programs — by inviting participants to the table. Through a series of co-design sessions, we listened and learned about the experiences of individuals who have received services in a variety of mental health treatment facilities. 设计师立刻意识到，这家机构的行事方式与众不同，我们也受到启发，以同样开放的态度对待该项目并接纳新想法。设计过程的启动方式与 Stella’s Place 创建自身项目的方式相同——邀请参与者坐到桌前。通过一系列共同设计会议，我们倾听并了解了曾在各类心理健康治疗机构中接受服务者的经历。 

To help the project team engage more authentically with these sessions, the design team was comprised of younger design professionals. The takeaways from these sessions went on to inform almost every design decision, providing invaluable insights into what makes a space feel welcoming and supportive and why those qualities are the foundation for better treatment. 为帮助项目团队在这些会议中更真诚地互动，设计团队由较年轻的设计专业人员组成。这些会议的收获随后影响了几乎每一项设计决策，为“是什么让空间令人感到受欢迎和有支持性”以及“为什么这些特质是更好治疗的基础”提供了宝贵洞见。 

The space was a character-rich industrial building in Toronto’s Queen West neighborhood, built in the early 20th century. During the collaborative co-design sessions, we came to see this unique building as a perfect fit. Stella’s Place wanted to occupy a space unlike traditional clinical environments that often recall negative experiences for this demographic, opting instead for finishes and layouts that prioritized comfort and connection. 该空间是多伦多 Queen West 街区一栋富有特色的工业建筑，建于20世纪初。在协作式共同设计会议中，我们逐渐认识到这栋独特建筑极为合适。Stella’s Place 希望入驻一个不同于传统临床环境的空间，因为这类环境常让该群体联想到负面体验；他们转而选择优先考虑舒适度与联系感的饰面和布局。

The base building’s brick walls, wood-post-and-beam structure, preserved historic details that include steel sliding doors and wood decking provided an inherent vibrancy, while the open industrial plan was a blank canvas to accommodate the programming they would need. 主体建筑的砖墙、木柱梁结构，以及钢制推拉门和木铺板等保留下来的历史细节，本身就具有一种活力；开放式工业平面则像一张空白画布，可容纳他们所需的功能规划。

The entry to Stella’s Place establishes the atmosphere that participants will experience throughout the space. We removed a portion of the second level to create an airy, light-filled double-height lobby that flows into a café-style space that is open for participants to use freely during operating hours. This entry sequence also offers a highly visible ramp route, immediately conveying that this building is not only accessible but welcoming for all. Stella’s Place 的入口奠定了参与者在整个空间中将会体验到的氛围。我们拆除了二层的一部分，打造出通透且充满自然光的两层通高大堂，大堂自然延伸至咖啡风格空间，参与者在运营时间可自由使用。这一入口序列还提供了清晰易见的坡道，让人立刻感到这栋建筑不仅无障碍，更欢迎所有人。 

Moving inward, participants encounter one of the multi-functional group spaces. Categorized broadly as a room for group therapy sessions, the program is inherently dynamic and designed to remain nimble. Along with the flexible seating, the room has ample storage to reconfigure the furniture layout and a foldable partition wall that can be used to divide the space into two acoustically separated rooms. 向内走，参与者会进入其中一个多功能团体空间。该空间大致被归为团体治疗室，其功能本身富于变化，设计也保持灵活。除灵活座椅外，房间还设有充足的收纳空间以重新布置家具，并配有可折叠隔断墙，用于将空间分成两个声学上相互分隔的房间。 

The ground floor also houses two of Stella’s six private counselling rooms. Our approach to these spaces was to fit them out with a common palette of warm brick, carpeting and acoustic wall paneling to create a comfortable acoustic environment for private conversations. The counselling rooms vary in size and feature adjustable lighting and flexible furniture, empowering participants with an element of choice in their counselling space. 首层还设有 Stella’s Place 六间私密咨询室中的两间。我们在这些空间采用统一的暖色砖、地毯和吸声墙板材质色调，为私密交谈创造舒适的声学环境。咨询室大小不一，配有可调灯光和灵活家具，让参与者在咨询空间中拥有一定的选择余地。 

A custom wood screen encloses the feature stair, guiding participants up to the second level. Participants also can access the upper levels by a new elevator, which was integrated into the design to ensure participants of all abilities can access the entire building. A landing overlooks the lobby area through the wood slat screen, bringing daylight into the center of the floorplate and creating a sense of transparency that improves the safety of the users. 定制木屏风围合着特色楼梯，引导参与者前往二层。参与者也可乘坐新电梯到达上层；电梯被融入设计，以确保各种行动能力的参与者都能使用整栋建筑。楼梯平台可通过木板条屏风俯瞰大堂区域，将日光引入楼层平面中心，并营造通透感，提升使用者的安全性。 

Programming on this level includes the four remaining private counselling rooms, a staff office zone and two more group rooms, the larger of which is equipped with a teaching kitchen and another moveable partition wall to offer greater flexibility. The third-floor houses additional staff workspaces mostly dedicated to online counselling and program development, where Stella’s Place can reach a network of hundreds of participants. 该层的功能布局包括剩余四间私密咨询室、一个员工办公区和另外两间团体室；其中较大的一间配有教学厨房和另一道可移动隔断墙，以提供更高灵活性。三楼还设有更多员工工作区，主要用于在线咨询和项目开发，Stella’s Place 可在此覆盖由数百名参与者组成的网络。 

A welcoming, comfortable atmosphere prevails throughout the building, reflecting early decisions shaped by both designers and end users. By understanding users’ experiences and translating those insights into the physical environment, we achieved our greatest impact. 整栋建筑弥漫着温馨、舒适的氛围，这体现了由设计师和最终用户共同塑造的早期决策。通过理解用户体验，并将这些洞见转化为实体环境，我们实现了最大的影响力。 

Stella’s Place represents a model for collaboration and shared authorship. The project also has given participants a space that truly feels like it belongs to them. They feel welcomed and represented, and they can connect to a community and start the journey toward healing and growth. Stella’s Place 是协作与共同创作的典范。该项目也为参与者提供了一个真正感觉属于他们的空间。他们感受到欢迎与被代表，并能够与社群建立联系，开启治愈与成长的旅程。
