Arc is home to Arc Day Programme, a north-west London community-based service for young people with eating disorders.
The program offers a unique space with an in-house kitchen where patients and families can learn about nutrition, cook and enjoy catered meals. For the wellness of all individuals, safety measures such as anti-ligature ironmongery and anti-barricade doors were implemented, as well as the addition of Bioclad artwork to enhance the WC areas.
This conversion comprised of new consultant rooms, family room, staff kitchen, staff loung, sluice rooms, WC’s including a DDA WC, office and welcome lounge.
Understanding the client’s vision and needs was of paramount importance throughout this sensitive project, exceeding their expectations while staying within budget through value engineering.
