Thesis Abstract
A good project starts with a good design. Healthy Bones is an animal hospital offering medical services to your beloved animals. I created a fully functioning facility that strives for the comfort of the users making sure everyone feels safe in our “fear-free” environment. All materials, textures, and colors are incorporated with the thought of the user’s needs in mind. This includes incorporating biophilia through nature, and color theory for a nurturing and healing environment that will ensure the animal’s needs are met.
