The building is characterized by a basement, ground floor and floor, with the basement being built in reinforced concrete and the other floors and roof in a mix of reinforced concrete and metallic metal structure. For the elevations, anthracite-colored micro profiled sandwich panels and a white composite panel were used to cover the flap.

On the front, a fully glazed facade was designed in contrast to the other facades covered with micro-profiled sheet metal and containing torn glass openings. The canopy, 5 meters long, fulfills its function of shelter and protection, and projects the entire building towards the urban front.

We sought an architectural language that would differentiate itself from the industrial surroundings, since we are facing an industrial area, and would identify with a new concept to accommodate a use as specific as a veterinary hospital in a contemporary and innovative approach.
