Bailey Streetscene has provided a range of specialist external furniture for Ancora House; a child and adolescent mental health (Camhs) inpatient unit based in Chester. The centre provides inpatient and day patient care for children and young people with complex mental health conditions.

Bailey Streetscene were approached by Eric Wright to supply a range of specialist external furniture that would help patients to enjoy the external areas of the unit. Ensuring the safety of the children and young people was paramount throughout the project and this influenced the decision making process.

Many of the products that were chosen had to incorporate non-standard design aspects that complied with the needs of the health centre. External furniture for the project included; Springwell Planter, Springwell Planter Bench, Springwell Picnic Table, Springwell Bench, Stoke Shelter. All the products had specialist vandal proof fixings, all edges were reduced inspected and protected and all metal work was hand finished so no danger points were exposed this meant that the design criteria was met in line with the clients specification.

The resulting outdoor space created is now a safe environment for patients to relax and feel calm. The garden areas now have a natural look with the additional planters which reflects the excellent level of care that the unit offers.
