Hunters is a multidisciplinary design practice with extensive experience in mental healthcare environments, delivering thoughtful, people-centred settings shaped through collaboration, insight, and technical rigour. Based in London and working across the UK, we have a long-standing track record of partnering with NHS mental health trusts and specialist providers to design therapeutic, safe and recovery-focused environments.
Hunters bring specialist knowledge of mental health design principles, clinical models, and operational requirements, with experience spanning inpatient wards, psychiatric intensive care units, crisis facilities, community hubs, and estate-wide transformation programmes. They understand the complex balance between safety, dignity and therapeutic quality, and we design environments that support positive risk management, patient recovery, and staff wellbeing.
Through co-design with clinicians, service users, and estates teams, they create adaptable, sustainable, and inclusive facilities that respond to evolving models of care. Hunters believe the built environment plays a fundamental role in mental health outcomes, and are committed to setting benchmarks for excellence in therapeutic healthcare design.
