The local veterinary hospital was redesigned to create a comfortable and family-friendly atmosphere, while prioritizing safety and efficiency for both staff and patients. The owners of this hospital were committed to providing a space that would make pet owners feel at ease when bringing in their furry family members. EMPAD designed this veterinary hospital with the well-being of animals in mind, creating a fear-free environment using techniques that promote care and comfort. The staff places top priority on cleanliness and care to ensure the best possible experience for everyone involved. The exterior of the hospital features vibrant and stunning murals of animals, which adds to the beauty of the premises and creates a positive atmosphere. The result is an animal hospital that is both inviting and functional, providing a comfortable and stress-free environment for pets.
Tennant Improvement Project | Midtown – Tampa, FL | 6,600 SQ FT | Completed in 2022
EMPAD Architecture was entrusted to create a space in Midtown Tampa that not only serves to reflect the modern, state-of-the-art, culinary dishes that Chef Chris Ponte is set to create, but that is also highly functional for efficient restaurant operation. To achieve this, we incorporated numerous key design features, including strong visual connections throughout the entire restaurant, a full-height glass wall for patrons to view the culinary art in creation, and a large bar area including a 15’ tall, all-glass wine storage room, which separates the bar and dining areas. Moreover, the bar area has numerous euro-wall door systems that give it the ability to open up completely to the large, covered, outdoor seating area, while the dining area itself is filled with high-end finishes and unique lighting along with the signature Chef Ponte elements, like the long, linear banquet seating and the rounded booths along the exterior walls.
