When Sunrise Veterinary Clinic opens its doors at its new Comox location this Friday , it will showcase a renovation project that perfectly blends form and function. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a stunning concrete and reclaimed wood reception desk (created by Live Edge Design and Fusion Concrete Design), beyond which sites a stylish and space-saving steel rail door system leading to a generous treatment area. Even the flooring, an eco- friendly concrete-polymer blend that both looks and feels great, is innovative. But while the new clinic is certainly pleasing to the eye, thanks in part to the inspired designs of Lindsay McCotter of re:SOLVE Space Planning, even more interesting is how it was created. The design and construction of Sunrise Veterinary Clinic was coordinated by Capstone Dwellings Design-Build, a local firm that is pioneering the design-build movement in the Comox Valley. With a design -build construction firm, one team is hired to take a project from design right through to completion. The result is shorter timelines, more accountable budgeting and fewer setbacks along the way. “Design-build has been happening south of the border for a long time,” says Bethany Pearce, who operates Capstone Dwellings Design-Build with her husband Joe. “It’s quickly becoming the new standard in cities like Vancouver, Calgary and Victoria because it offers a better experience for the client.” ~ Residential ~ Commercial ~ Industrial ~ 250- 650- 4044 [email protected] “Wishing you the best.” P L U M B I N G L T D Darren Nelson Phone: (250) 792-1344 [email protected] Scott Shewfelt Phone: (250) 792-1862 Fax: (250) 890-0953 arren Nelson ScottShewfelt New Construction • Renovations • Heating • Concrete Countertops • Custom Designs • Fabrication • Installations C O N C R E T E D E S I G N [email protected] 250-218-6298 2967C Kilpatrick Ave ., Courtenay • 250-338-8839 for a bright future ahead Congratulations on your new clinic, it’s been such fun working with you.
