About the project

The Margaret Morgan Lawrence Center is a 1,400sf licensed mental health clinic in Harlem serving underserved children and families. Rounded corners, continuous cove-lighting, warm materials, and home-like details create a soft, calming environment that challenges the institutional character of conventional mental healthcare, creating a welcoming space for healing and play.
