Our vision
The Anidoor Project
Goals to improve the future
Alongside our dog daycare, we want to help all animals get access to quality care and professional support, whatever their owners' circumstances.
Anidoor offers a concept combining dog daycare and high-tech mobile services. Our modular approach lets us grow step by step, always listening to the needs of the Romandy community.
Based in Romandy, we serve the whole region with our mobile services, bringing the professionalism of a specialised facility right to your door.

Architecture and design - long-term vision
The Domaine de l'Arche: our vision for the future
This is how we imagine Anidoor's future: a complex of linked domes, each of which would house a different space, designed for animal comfort and for the efficiency of professionals. The infrastructure would follow both an environmental and a technological logic: solar panels, rainwater collection, a mini wind turbine. Installations that harm animal well-being, such as wire fencing, would be ruled out.
These plans describe a distant horizon, not a short-term construction site. Anidoor is starting today on a smaller scale, with Phase 1 described above.
Jean-Jacques Tschumi
FAS architect in charge of the project
« With experience ranging from prisons to schools, and a few private projects in equestrian sport, housing at various scales and the sculptural design of civil engineering structures, I was approached by Anidoor's founder and designer, Marco Simons, and his motivation won me over. So I put myself at the service of this project of public benefit. »

Ecology at the heart of the vision
A water feature
It would drain water and supply the whole structure. The animals could enjoy it too.
Electrical system
Solar panels on the structure would make the power supply easier. The heating would be self-sufficient.
Natural materials
Separations would be made of wood and plants, with no wire fencing. Plexiglas windows would let in more light.
