Thoughtfully Local
Frontier Village Vet Clinic had outgrown their existing space and decided to take on a tenant improvement build out in an existing storefront shell in Lake Stevens, Washington. They wanted the space to reflect the local community of Lake Stevens, and project a more welcoming and thoughtful design.
Outside of the expected challenges when designing a tenant improvement (TI) in a commercial space, a veterinary clinic presents many technical challenges related to animal health care, veterinary procedures, and specialty equipment needs. Designing the space we got creative trying to produce a more dynamic space than your typical vet’s office, and to establish a beautiful environment for people and their pets. At the same time we enjoyed coordinating the equipment needs, navigating the budget and delivering this new work space for the clients.
