The London Animal Hospital (TLAH) is the first of its kind in central London offering around the clock care and emergency services to all pets. Housed in a converted print works the Hospital includes the first CT scanner of its type in Europe, X-ray facilities, isolation ward, and two surgeries as well as dedicated dog and cat wards. The interiors are designed to feel welcoming while being hardwearing and meeting clinical requirements. The rich blue stained plywood is offset against crisp white walls and elegant plywood furniture, all designed by alma-nac. The design maximises the potential of the roof for rain water harvesting and 6kW of Solar Panels. The building is heated and cooled using an air-source heat-pump and all finishes are solvent free to prevent off-gassing. The project was commended in the 2017/2018 Architects' Journal and New London Architecture Health and Wellbeing Awards.
