6. Hidden table

This comfort room in Frey Pet Hospital includes a fold-down exam table. The wall was built extra wide to allow a built-in cabinet to hide the table when it's not in use.

7. Zero-footprint retail

This relatively small retail area, also part of Frey Pet Hospital, uses wall-mounted shelving to put products in easy view. The same nook also includes a client refreshment bar that offers juice, water, and snacks for clients' children, and a plumbed-in coffee maker for individual coffee and hot chocolate.
