Layout with Tranquility and Privacy in Oostzaan
Commissioned by Stichting Dierenasiel Oostzaan, Otten Pet Cages built a combination of animal shelters that offer rest, comfort and overview. The assignment consisted of six spacious enclosures with a separate toilet and rest room per enclosure, two lockable rooms with Plexiglas doors and twelve cat enclosures with the same transparent finish.
Transparent animal enclosures with privacy
By working with Plexiglas doors, animals remain highly visible to caretakers while still experiencing adequate screening. Separate rest and toilet areas contribute to a stress-free environment, which is important for animals waiting for a new home or recovering.
Comfort and hygiene as a starting point
As with other projects, aluminum and HPL were chosen here as base materials. These provide a durable, hygienic and low-maintenance result. The enclosures are easy to keep clean and can withstand intensive use. A perfect balance between comfort for the animal and ease of use for the staff.
