The Narragansett Bay Commission recently allocated land and funds for the construction of a new animal shelter during a land acquisition transaction with the City Of Providence. The proposal animal shelter is designed to meet a stringent budget and accommodations of program, and is situated on small parcel on the city’s south side.

Working with a local contractor, the design of the building evolved to maintain a “New England style on a shoe-string budget”. The exterior shell and roof of the facility are detailed with energy efficiency and minimal construction materials. The interiors feature washable surfaces and custom kennel designs. Attention is focused mainly on the front entrance where the public is welcome by a trellis and a double height reception space.

The owner of this property, located on Rt. 6 near a highly active commercial zone, wanted to transform a current auto parts retail store into a showroom for European sports and luxury automobile sales.

The project scope involves removing the front part of the existing structure to rebuild a new showroom. Alterations to the remaining building include adding garage doors to the exterior and re-design of the interior layout to accommodate a tenant space.
