Haven; Eating Disorder Recovery Centre

Haven is an eating disorder recovery centre that offers residential treatment and day treatment for young women between ages 18-25. The recovery centre aims to provide support for those who are deemed “not sick enough” by the public health system but require support beyond outpatient services.

Haven aims to challenge the stigmas around eating disorders through its design and encourages healing through creating community and creating a space where hope can be cultivated through community, knowledge and discovery.

Concept

The key concept of Haven is hope. Hope forms the foundation and driving force for recovery, it helps to see the light at the end of the tunnel and gives purpose. The overarching concept of hope then informed the sub themes of reflection + discovery, connection + community and knowledge + education.
