Avara recently completed the Cara Veterinary Clinic on Mercer Island, working closely with clinic owners to create a welcoming and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. Thoughtful design elements, including a calming color palette and natural materials, were incorporated to promote relaxation and comfort in the reception and exam areas.
The clinic features state-of-the-art medical and grooming facilities, including specialized private rooms for sensitive procedures, ensuring top-tier veterinary care. Custom cabinetry and flexible design elements enhance both functionality and pet-friendly accessibility throughout the space.
Key Project Highlights:
- Relaxing Reception & Exam Spaces – Designed with calming colors and natural materials to ease stress for pets and owners.
- Mountain-Themed Exam Rooms – Each exam room is named after a Washington mountain range, featuring custom wall murals for a serene ambiance.
- Pet-Friendly Design – Custom cabinetry with pet-friendly features, including under-bench spaces for pets to explore.
- Flexible Exam Tables – Folding exam tables provide space-saving versatility for veterinary staff.
- State-of-the-Art Treatment Areas – Equipped with cutting-edge medical tools, multiple grooming tables, and private procedure rooms.
