Pesach Tikvah Mental Health Center

Pesach Tikvah is a 3,500-square-foot mental health center in Brooklyn, serving individuals and families within the Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish community. The project addresses a complex set of requirements around privacy, trust, and emotional comfort, translating them into a carefully calibrated architectural environment. The design avoids institutional aesthetics in favor of a warm, protective atmosphere that promotes privacy and emotional comfort.

Curved birch plywood-lined walls guide movement intuitively through the space, while acoustic treatments on the ceiling and walls and carefully organized consultation rooms support confidentiality and discretion. Natural materials and terrazzo floors create an environment that feels calming, welcoming, and deeply aligned with the organization’s mission. The program includes ten fully accessible consultation rooms, a group therapy room, a children's therapy room, administrative offices, conference space, reception, and support areas.
