One of the most important things for the treatment of the maladjusted youth is a change of environment. For the Time Out Project to be a success, they need to be temporarily relocated in a complete alien context. Preferably somewhere foreign, because the language barrier will prevent them having too much contact with locals. A rural area with low stimuli from outside works really well. Ormoy. An old farm in the small village of Ormoy in the North-East of France, has been chosen for this project. “This village is well suited to take maladjusted youth to, because it is an environment with low stimuli. The house is on the outskirts of the village so it won’t disturbe the neighbours too much.” SEPARATING SLEEPING & TREATMENT. The pressure on the youth to be treated can be very high. To help the youth take some distance from the treatment, there is a physical separation between the treatment and the sleeping. There are two buildings in which these two functions take place, with a separating garden in between. In the Sleeping-Building the architecture will play an active role in the treatment. And in the Treatment-Building the architecture will play a passive role. REWARD PROGRAM. When the youngster enters the project he or she will always start in the first room. It has a simple staircase leading up to the room. From the public space boxes in different colors can be seen can be seen. This box impersonates you. All you need is inside this box. In the first room this is only a desk, closet and a bed. In the second box you will get more facilities like a wash basin. This process continues. So the box grows with you.
