Animal Referral Centre (ARC)
The veterinary specialist centre in Albany provides advanced surgical and medical care around the clock, 7 days a week. ARC contracted Designzone to transform their entrance and waiting areas. Being CFC Certified ‘Cat Friendly Clinic’, the clinic had sufficient space to allow for separate Cat and Dog entrances and waiting areas. The two separate entrances lead to a main reception counter, creating individual cat and dog zones, minimising stress levels for both patients and owners.
The entrance was transformed into a bright and welcoming area for visiting animals and their human companions. For the custom designed counter, we added depth to the design bringing texture and ARC's feature colours. Installation of timber slats over the reception counter tie the two spaces together with overhead lighting aesthetics. Custom designed seating and coffee tables compliment both spaces creating warm and calming waiting areas for both cats and dogs.
We used vinyl graphics to highlight the separate entrances and inside each area installed a bold cat & dog coloured graphics. The custom designed @Autex paneling was designed to help with the acoustics and create a calming environment.
