Abstract Places where people live are important for their personal and social lives. This is also the case for people with mental health problems living in supported housing. To summarise the existing knowledge, we conducted a systematic review of 13 studies with different methodologies regarding the built environment in supported housing and examined their findings in a thematic analysis. The built environment of supported housing involves three important and interrelated themes: well-being, social identity and privacy. If overregulated by professionals or located in problematic neighbourhoods or buildings, the settings could be an obstacle to recovery. If understood as meaningful places with scope for control by the tenants or with amenities nearby, the settings could aid recovery. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

Summary:



Places where people live are important for their personal and social lives. Many of them are living places meant to be homes for people with mental health problems. In a comprehensive review of articles on the effects of the architectural design of mental health facilities such as mental hospitals the authors concluded that the design of security lighting the therapeutic milieu gardens rooms for patients and interiors had benefits for the well-being of the patients and staff and the duration of stay. The phenomenology of places understands the built environment as part of a context that also includes the surroundings location rooms and interiors in which human life takes place. By comparison tenants in independent settings have more opportunities for personal development but the opportunities are threatened when tenants are located in problematic neighbourhoods or buildings.
