A Paw-tastic Retreat

A client approached us with a vision to transform their 34-hectare property in the heart of Geelong into a premier kennel facility. The land, which had previously been home to a cat boarding business, required significant modifications to create a space specifically designed for dogs.

Our team worked closely with the client to turn their concept into a functional and architecturally sound design that would blend seamlessly with the surrounding Geelong landscape. We paid special attention to the unique needs of dogs, ensuring that the layout would offer both comfort and efficiency while complementing the natural environment. From zoning challenges to environmental considerations, we carefully navigated every aspect of the project to align with both the client’s vision and the council regulations specific to the Geelong region.

Working closely with the City of Greater Geelong’s planning department was a critical part of the process. We engaged in ongoing discussions with local authorities to ensure that all planning requirements were met, without compromising the integrity of the design. With a clear focus on both the client’s needs and the city’s guidelines, we submitted detailed proposals and addressed every concern along the way.

Today, the client operates one of Geelong’s leading dog boarding establishments, a true testament to their dedication and our collaborative efforts in bringing their vision to life.
