The new Hotel Min is a psychiatric care home for 24 detained men who are ‘free on probation’. For architecture, it is by no means an easy task to conceive of a house in the city to discretely help people, who have unlearned the habit of living, to acquire the basic principles of living in a house, on the street and in a neighbourhood — without the possibility of offering a permanent stay. Nevertheless, the designers succeeded in finding the right tone. The design of the project succeeds in combining the desired restraint and the need for a manageable layout with openness and cheerfulness.
