带屋顶的通道将这几栋建筑连接起来，以适应多种动物转移路径——接收、评估、流浪动物的接收移交、收养，以及最重要的，将狗和猫分开。
The buildings are linked by covered walkways allowing for different animal movement pathways – receiving, assessment, stray reclaim and surrender, adoption, and most importantly, separating dogs and cats.

该建筑拥有乡村家庭规模的独立狗舍，在这里，狗可以通过大玻璃窗看到大自然的景色，需要休息时可以退到屏障后面。这种布局最大限度地减少了注意力疲劳和声音不适，保障了员工的安全。高度耐用的材料可以抵抗极端磨损和细菌传播，而最佳被动式热舒适系统保证了适宜的气候和通风。大型活动空间俯瞰着毗邻的公园。
The building housing individual kennels is at a domestic rural scale, where dogs are stimulated with views onto nature via large glass windows and can rest or withdraw if needed behind screens. This layout minimises attention fatigue, acoustic discomfort and supports staff safety. Highly durable materials withstand extreme wear and bacteria spread, whilst best practice passive thermal comfort considers climate and ventilation. Large exercise spaces overlook the adjoining parklands.

光线充足的接待大楼拥有向外延伸的大屋顶，创造了一个标志性的、开放的、易发现的入口。作为一个公共空间，它提供了一个安全和温馨的环境，有着明确的方向和交通流线，带有为潜在宠物准备的“家庭”观察室，以及一个教育活动的功能区域。猫被安置在色彩斑斓的房间里，里面有适合猫玩耍的睡眠箱和攀岩室。设有兽医医院和猫舍的大楼负责疾病控制，并配备了受伤治疗和绝育的最新技术。仅供员工使用的大楼用于动物接收、废物管理、大件储存、食物准备、毛发梳理以及洗涤。
The light-filled reception building has a large extended roof sweeping up to create an iconic, open, easy-to-find entrance. A civic space, it provides a secure and welcoming environment, with clear directions and circulation, ‘homely’ viewing rooms for potential pets, and a function area for educational events. Cats are housed in multicoloured rooms, with playful sleeping boxes and climbing gyms. A building housing a veterinary hospital and cattery promotes disease control and is fitted out with the latest technology for the treatment of injuries and desexing. A staff-only building is used for animal admission, waste management, bulk storage, food preparation, grooming and laundering.

该设施轻巧地坐落在广袤的风景区，具有耐旱、遮阳的特性和易维护植物，促进多种鸟类种群的栖息，这也正是综合型艺术的主题。景观在多个地点发挥生物过滤的作用，促进整个场地的雨水吸收。关于猫和狗的有趣事实被镌刻在人行道上以教育公众。
The facility sits lightly in an extensive landscaped area, with drought tolerant, shade-giving and low maintenance planting promoting habitation of the very bird species that are the subject of the integrated art. The landscape acts as bio-filtration at multiple points, promoting stormwater absorption across the site. Fun facts about cats and dogs are inscribed into pavements to educate the public.

方案选用了卫生、耐用、坚固、低维护成本和易于清洁的材料。可持续性特点包括通过最大化交叉通风、太阳能获得、水贮存来实现被动热舒适，以及99千瓦时的太阳能光伏阵列、电动汽车充电器和热交换空调等可持续性技术。
多功能区域提供动物训练公众教育项目和收养前准备课程，从而促进该中心为社区提供强有力支持，力图最大程度提高动物被收养率。
Hygienic, durable, robust, low maintenance and easy-to-clean materials were chosen. Sustainable features include passive thermal comfort through maximising cross ventilation, solar access, water retention, together with sustainable technologies such as a 99 kWh solar PV array, EV car chargers and heat exchange air-conditioning.
The multipurpose function area facilitates the centre’s strong community support goals by providing public education programs in animal training and pre-adoption courses for humans, aiming to maximise animal retention rates by adopters.
