Oasis is a veterinary clinic for orthopaedics and neurosurgery. Based on the philosophy ‘to restore function, save lives and contribute to a healthy coexistence of humans and animals’, it caters to pets from intensive care to rehabilitation treatment, and operation.
The reception area embodies the aesthetic of a laboratory. It boasts a refined beauty like other commercial spaces, but with strengthened planning and systematic solutions. Mies van der Rohe’s “Less is more” and Louis Sullivan’s “Form follows function” are maxims which have shown the essence of modern design. This mentality is embodied by Oasis's formative beauty that results from its fuctional and strategic design.
The shapes and finishes were chosen with consideration for the propensities and behaviour patterns of pets. Tempered concrete floor was selected for ease of maintenance, and round corners due to dogs’ peeing behaviour. A room for larger dogs allows more space for the bigger animals and features a water system for efficient disposal of their excretion.
The space is designed with an open layout to promote trust between patients’ owners and the vet. Owners can observe entire processes such as examination, treatment, hospitalization, operation, rehabilitation treatment and research.
