Our Services

Asylum are dedicated to the research, design and delivery of therapeutic environments for vulnerable people.

We use trauma-informed, evidence-based design and connect academia, lived experience, built form and service delivery.

This allows us to co-design human-centred therapeutic experiences that measurably effect ones sense of safety, comfort, empowerment and connection.

Our practice is informed by:

  • Lived Experience

  • Academic Research

  • Clinical Evidence

  • Trauma Informed Design

  • Neurodiversity Affirming Practice

  • Sensory Design

  • Human Centred Design

  • Behavioural Science

  • Psychology in Architecture and Design

  • Biophilic design

  • Accessibility and Universal Design

Humans are complex, but the provision of dignified recovery-oriented care can be simple, measurable, and replicable.

Never harming, never assuming, always asking.
