About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

The author presented in the diploma thesis the construction of a facility from the initial phase of commissioning and conception to the final phase when the facility enters into operation. In the project under consideration, the investor had clearly defined objectives and a high-quality project brief. The spaces were dimensionally adapted so that the investor mostly used standard equipment (in their case from IKEA), which meant additional reduction of investment costs.

Problem

The author presented in the diploma thesis the construction of a facility from the initial phase of commissioning and conception to the final phase when the facility enters into operation. In the project under consideration, the investor had clearly defined objectives and a high-quality project brief. The investor wanted a facility that would functionally correspond to a type B small animal clinic whilst also enabling the upgrade of the facility into a small animal hospital with minimal architectural modifications.

The facility should be energy-efficient, technically accomplished and cost-effective. At the beginning of planning, they set a goal to limit the facility area to a maximum of 350 m2, and the cost of construction, craft and installation works to €1,200/m2. As shown in the diploma thesis, they succeeded in realising the facility within the defined framework, which influenced the ** minimalist external appearance** of the facility, where only the glass façade on the ground floor stands out, which simultaneously serves as an advertising panel. The façade is contact, thin-layer, in white colour, and the building joinery is made of synthetic material.

The interior of the facility is likewise simple and subordinated to function.

Solution and Method

The spaces were dimensionally adapted so that the investor mostly used standard equipment (in their case from IKEA), which meant additional reduction of investment costs. The surroundings of the facility are partly landscaped, partly asphalted or paved.
