This 14,460 SF facility has two separate outpatient Waiting Areas and Exam Rooms, but one shared inpatient Treatment Area. The large Central Treatment Area leads directly into the Surgical Suites and the ICU Area. The ICU Area has a Central Nurses' Station for 24-hour monitoring of every cage and every run.

"Because our new hospital is located in a flood plane, Warren has taken on the many complex design challenges this project warrants. Warren has been the key person in coordinating the multitude of professionals that have had to work together to get this project through a very difficult approval process with very stringent environmental and design restrictions. Warren and his dedicated staff have always been available whenever needed. The engaging design of the building is an example of Warren's skill as an architect. We feel very fortunate to have Warren and his staff working with us and give him the highest compliments on his professionalism as an architect."

Institute of Veterinary Specialists - Gainesville, FL

The Institute of Veterinary Specialists is by far not your ordinary Animal Hospital. The Institute is comprised of two components. One is a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital with an emphasis on cardiology. The other is a Telemedicine Center serving veterinarians throughout the United States. The Center receives questions on complex medical cases, analyzes the data and then advises veterinarians
on how to handle these cases. The circular Waiting Area also functions as a semi-circular lecture hall for professional seminars. The image of a spiral is inlaid into the floor of the Waiting Area and into the exterior stonework of the drum enclosing the upper volume of the Waiting Area. The spiral symbolizes holistic healing.

"Warren clearly understands the subtle and intricate relationship between form and function and possesses an impressive ability to catalyze their synergy in both unique and artistic ways. Despite his national recognition and accomplishments, he listened carefully and never hesitated to incorporate my thoughts and ideas to personalize the project. He was always accessible and demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. Warren and his staff have made working on this project an absolute pleasure and I would highly recommend them."

Chelmsford Animal Hospital - Chelmsford, MA

After working in a very small and cramped veterinary clinic, four partners (3 vets and 1 business manager) who also happen to be two married couples decided they needed to be in a full service veterinary hospital that truly reflects the high standard of medical care that they provide to their clients. In addition they also want to provide boarding and retail plus a resident living unit for one of their staff and all on a very small site. The solution was a 10,460 SF three-story structure with one level below grade that opened onto a sunken courtyard. The veterinary hospital occupies the first floor and the resident unit occupies a small second floor. The Lower Level contains a staff lounge, boarding runs opening on to the courtyard, storage and unfinished space for future expansion.

Lake Forest Animal Hospital - Gaithersburg, MD

The existing Lake Forest Animal Hospital had reached the end of its usefulness and needed to be replaced by a new full-service, state-of-the-art hospital. The entrepreneurial spirit of the owner dictated a 4 exam room hospital that also included standard and luxury boarding for dogs and cats plus a living unit for a senior staff member.

Due to the small site area, this 10,900 SF project had to occupy three levels. The hospital is located on the main level with on-grade access. Boarding and grooming occupies the lower level that expands out to a sunken courtyard for light, air and exercise. The upper level contains the resident living unit plus doctor’s offices and the conference room.

River Road Veterinary Hospital – Andover, MA

Located in a suburban town north of Boston, Massachusetts, the owners, a husband and wife team of veterinarians, are finally realizing their dream of running their own practice. Comprised of 6,000 SF on two floors, within a very constricted site, the exterior of the hospital incorporates the vernacular of traditional New England architecture with its unique proportions, gray clapboards and white trim.

While traditional on the outside, the interior has all of the amenities of a modern veterinary hospital. Under a cathedral ceiling, the Waiting Area has separate seating for feline and canine patients. Next to the entry is a small retail “boutique".

North County Animal Hospital – Paso Robles, CA

Dr. Bell’s goal was to build a new, state-of-the-art veterinary hospital to replace his existing free-standing 50 year old structure in the central California coastal city of Paso Robles. The new building is the first phase of a two phase master plan to provide both medical care and boarding. The new two-story, 4,200 SF, hospital is designed to operate as a full service veterinary center, offering medical, surgical, dental, preventative medicine and diagnostics for small animals. Phase two entails the renovation of the existing building into a boarding and grooming center opposite the new hospital.

Paso Robles has a long history of wine producing in California. The design of the hospital reflects the metaphorical qualities of a winery interpreted into contemporary context. To capture the aesthetic flavor of a winery and Paso Robles’ rich history, we used indigenous earth tone colors complemented by ledger stone accent walls, reminiscent of a wine cellar. Special decorative glass door and window treatments, laminates and metalwork are also incorporated into the architectural design.

Pacific Animal Hospital - Oceanside, CA

Pacific Animal Hospital has been serving the community of Oceanside and neighboring areas for over forty years. The new hospital will operate as a full service veterinary medical center offering advanced medical, surgical, dental, preventative care, physical therapy and diagnostics for companion animals.

The new 2-story, 6,780 SF state-of-the-art hospital was designed to replace a smaller and technologically obsolete hospital on the same site under a phased migratory construction plan. This new facility will allow the hospital to continue providing high quality veterinary care for the same community it has served for generations.

Our objective was to create a unique modern design that would balance the multitude of culturally diverse architectural influences in Oceanside together with its rich surfing history. Its design evokes the images of surfing under a pier at sunset, with its column-like, sand-colored vertical elements juxtaposed against a deep blue wave.
