New England and Global
Veterinary and Dental care is unique, and your facility design should be too!
DKW Architecture listens, and designs to the unique aspects of what makes vets and dentists different in how they practice, and what they need. We are the specialists to the specialists, with over 30 years of animal and human medical design. We provide full services in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and all of New England. We provide consulting of our experienced wisdom and design creativity around the globe. Partnership is productive, and we collaborate often with local to you firms, who need support of a specialist.
Specialists for Specialists
For over three decades, our team has designed and customized veterinary and dental facilities for start ups and established practitioners. We start by listening to you. What are your practice priorities? What is the personality of your practice? What did not work at your last facility, and what change do you want to see in your new facility? We also ask, would you have your internist fix your teeth? Would you have your kid’s primary care doctor diagnose your dog? Would you hire a residential or general commercial architect, when you can hire a veterinary and dental specialist?
Design for Function and Feeling
Optimal functionality enhances efficiency, and boosts revenue. A well designed space that feels great, fosters happiness for staff and owners. Happy staff means better care for your patients-both pets, and their people. Our goal is to create environments that are healthy and joyful for people, pets, and business.
