Shelter Bay

Metro Detroit. (2022)

Working closely with a family of animal care clinics, we’ve learned a lot about how design can support our pet’s needs. Shelter Bay reuses a defunct chain restaurant into a mix of uses between catering and animal care. Conceptually the project consists of - Making visible the way our pets experience the world through color and perception.

Connecting the clinic’s growing network of places and people into a spatial platform, and Choreographing the intricate function of movement required to care for our dogs and cats through form and #purrrposeful interventions.
