human perspective

The Cleveland Greyhound Bus Station will

now act as a hub for boarding, pampering,
and training center for cat and dog owners
who seek a home away from home for
their pets and a facility that truly
understands stimulation, wellness,
and the animal experience.
The concept of white space integrated
with animal perception combine to
promote cat and dog lifestyles of the
utmost detail while creating a simplistic
environment that focuses on the animals
experience.
The goal is to revolutionize the

companions in the future;
