UN-CLINICAL VETERINARY SPACE IN AN ARTS DISTRICT.
ELEMENTAL VETERINARY CENTER & PET SPA
The upstart veterinary clinic, located in Columbus’ Short North Arts District, wanted to be a calming gallery space for incoming companion animals. BL/OV conceived of a lobby wall as a periodic chart of how animals communicate with one another: the sense of smell. Birch panels of dog, horse, rabbit, and cat noses emit calming pheremones and backlight in the evening. A branding package ties the space to the overall company identity.
The custom lobby wall was fabricated and installed by BL/OV. The project is a recipient of an AIA Columbus Merit Award for its design. (photo credits: Matthew Carbone)
