About Dr Pet Interieurontwerp Huisdierenclub

Dr Pet is een huisdierenclub gelegen in Taipei, Taiwan. Het ontwerp beslaat een tweeverdiepingen tellend bakstenen gebouw dat ooit een privéwoning was en later lange tijd ongebruikt bleef staan. De renovatie behoudt de oorspronkelijke kenmerken en materialen van het oude huis en past deze aan voor commercieel gebruik. Het interieur beslaat ongeveer 132,23 vierkante meter en omvat een grasveldhal, een receptieruimte, een rustruimte, een livestreamgebied, een tentoonstellingsruimte en een kantoor. De receptiebalie doet denken aan de toonbanken van traditionele Chinese apotheken. De open indeling verbindt de club met de buurt.

According to the client's brand concept and product characteristics, this project especially created a comfortable pet club with the popular photo-check-in culture, ingenious product display, lively color matching, spacious indoor and outdoor areas. In addition to trying to draw closer to the neighborhoods through open space planning, the design concept retains the original historical value of the building, uses the original features and materials of the house.

Production Technology: Brick grille, imitation stone tiles, terrazzo, natural wood veneer, customized furniture, iron, clear glass, sleepers, artificial turf, stone paint.
Design Challenge: The design team not only needs to repair the old equipment of the building, but also needs to readjust the layout with the consideration of modern commercial space, to achieve the purpose of the brand setting up a store. A site with many years of history with more than a decade ago design techniques used, and the overgrown environment are all the difficulties encountered during the construction process. However, because the design team invited the experts from various fields to identify the site problems and find suitable solutions, through continuous thinking to overcome the conditions of the site one by one.
Research: The design team combines the original historical culture of the site with the popular equipment to create a bright and comfortable resting space for this purpose. The overall layout is to create a unique space like a pet amusement park with open and spacious spaces, lively color selections, and a natural and comfortable environment. The reception design is mimicking the traditional counter just like the one in the traditional Chinese medicine shops, echoing the brand's spirit of tailor-made food according to the pet's physique.
Inspiration: The two-story brick building was originally the residence of wealthy people in Taiwan in the early days. However, since the former family that lived there left the place, the building was abandoned for a long time without use, and has so many signs of age. After the meeting, the client decided to transform it into a pet club, citing the similar pronunciation of doctors / probiotics, and named the club "Dr. Pet", as a custom pet food containing probiotic ingredients, at the same time, provide each customer with a beautiful space where they can communicate with each other and accompany their pets.
Project Duration: The project finished in September, 2018 in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The whole area is mainly based on the old site, highlighting the original characteristics of the old house, and giving the building new value. However, since the site was originally a residential building, it is now used as a commercial space, so that the spatial layout is inevitably different. In addition to have more interaction to the community with open space, the design team has re-planned the circulation at the entrance of the building and the compartments on the first-floor area to bring a smoother and more spacious activity area.
