Our featured project for April is the new Doggy Daycare and Spa building recently completed by R. Croix, Inc., General Contractor,  for Mr. Farouk Plummer at the intersection of San Jacinto and Rosedale in Houston, TX.  Andy Immroth in our Houston office was the project architect on the job.

The building is a one story facility of approximately 4,000 s.f.  This is an upscale boarding hotel for dogs with services which include boarding, training, grooming, a doggy taxi, pet boutique,  as well as full veterinary services.

The site is located in the Midtown area of Houston. It is on the Houston Metro Light Rail Line and is only blocks from the Museum District.

The exterior of the building is a sand colored stucco with a cast stone trim and a limestone wainscot. The front entrance has a steel canopy and vibrant ‘wrapped’ storefront windows.  This simple yet elegant facade hides the fact that the building itself is a pre-engineered metal structure.  This was done to take advantage of the economy of construction for this structural system.

The interior of the facility has an exam room, a pet boutique, a grooming room, indoor play rooms, and multiple boarding areas, beginning at petite suites and ending at spacious executive condos.
