Abstract Architecture PC worked with the team at Animal Outfitters on their second store, this time also providing doggy daycare services. The space is laid out so to maximize the use of a tight tenant space and to optimize access from both the street frontage and an inner courtyard.

The ability to optimize natural light throughout the kennel area via the large glazed openings on both sides of the space and the flexibility to change the layout of play pens allows for quick reorganization of the space in response to daily population variations, make the space feel much larger than it really is. Smaller, separated spaces, also with sizable internal glazing, were created for entry & sales, K-9 bathing & grooming facilities and an office.

Located in the resurgent Hydraulics District at the newly renovated Five Hundred Seneca, the finish palette was selected from materials reflective of the existing historic building. Exposed concrete (floors & counter-tops), metal (supports, wall panels & movable barricades) and exposed wood (paneling & shelving) are utilized not only for their beauty, but also their inherent resilience under the most difficult of conditions.

A steady flow of visitors, both 2 & 4 legged, make this a fun stop for anybody with a love of man's best friend.
