K9 Lofts has served the Pasadena community since 2012, and its relocation on Arroyo Parkway required a modernized home for boarding, doggie daycare, grooming, and dental services.
Our scope included architectural design, space planning, entitlement approvals, code compliance and site improvements.

Originally constructed in 1958 as the Van Vechten Laundry and designed by the distinguished post-war architectural firm, Smith & Williams, the one-story International Style building features floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls and within a post and beam structure, carefully preserved as part of its adaptive reuse.
The plan integrates two open play areas for large and small dogs, a dog therapy room, grooming stations, and a retail section offering toys and treats, aligning operational efficiency and safety with a welcoming client experience.

Interior finishes and fixtures were selected by the tenant and incorporated into the architectural documentation, with construction self-performed by the client.
ONYX helped rebrand the Ganahl Lumber sites in Southern California to create a unified brand experience inspired by the family business's values and history.
