Our clients wanted to build a state-of-the-art veterinary clinic on a site that was previously used as a clinic but originally built as a house. The council rejected a contemporary design proposal, insisting the building maintain a residential appearance. So, we needed to design a building that would meet the clinic's unique requirements while blending seamlessly with the residential character of the neighbourhood.
We expanded the existing 127 sqm building on a 500 sqm plot by building out in multiple directions and adding dormers to the roof. This allowed for the creation of a comprehensive clinic setup on the ground floor, including separate waiting rooms for cats and dogs, consultation and operating rooms, and additional facilities, all while maintaining a house-like appearance.
We managed to add 147% additional gross internal area, successfully doubling the building's size while complementing the residential street's character. In the end, the council granted planning permission for the immaculate veterinary facility, pleasing both the client and Pickford Lane locals.
