Ark.studio: Pet Hospital

Pet Hospital by Ark.studio Ark.studio is a multidisciplinary platform that aims to create contextualized and enjoyable spaces, grounded in innovative ideas. Sticking to the enjoyability principle can be a challenge when the brief is to design the interior for Veterinary Hospital. Ark.studios' architect Margarida Matias tackled the task with skill and created a welcoming interior which incorporates elements of traditional Portuguese decor. Thanks to the use soft colours and pastel shades, the space has a serene atmosphere, despite its not so serene function. The environment of the hospital is brightly lit, relaxing and informal. "The interior design proposal for the Veterinary Hospital provides a bridge between the rural area in which the hospital is implanted and the contemporary architecture appeal of the building. The intention of creating “ the most crystalline space” was crucial in order to maximize natural light and enhance the connection between the building surroundings and its interior."
