Melissa Rivera from Unleash Studio, who designed that killer lifeguard dog house, is back with yet another amazing dog house – this time following in the current trend of container homes. Why should you be the only one who gets to live in a shipping container? This little house also has removable wheels so you can move it easily from one room to another. Or just pull your dog around for fun…
Frank Lloyd Wright is the architectural genius behind countless numbers of well known projects. But what isn’t well known is the fact that FLW once designed a dog house for a 12-year-old boy’s black Labrador named Eddie. The boy was the son of Richard Berger, a client of Wright’s. At the time FLW was designing the Richard Berger House of San Anselmo, CA. The boy wrote a personal letter to Wright asking if he would add on the dog house that he would personally fund from his bike route. Wright agreed and the “canis domus” above was built.
Melissa Rivera from Unleash Studio sent me an email that had me almost fall off my chair. Her brand new Lifeguard Doghouse “04″ is the perfect dog home for your little beach bum, or your Hollywood dog — in this case, the fabulous dog model Bobby Gorgeous.

Denver-based architect Andrew Wright needed a house for his Australian Shepherd that was sturdy enough to protect her from the harsh Winter elements. Passionate about design in all forms and sizes, he decided to design and build his own dog house he named the “Savannah Cabannah” after the dog that inspired him. Fortunately, for all of you DIY’ers out there, Andrew’s Savannah Cabannah plans and building instructions are available for purchase.
Paul Kweton had an idea: why waste all that extra space below your chair when your pet could be enjoying it too?

Last year on Design Milk, David van Alphen shared the process of his building a modern shed in his backyard. This year, he decided that since his best friend isn’t allowed in his backyard studio, Hopper deserved his very own mini-version.
Miller Pet Products has come up with the idea to help keep dogs cool in the summer and warm in the winter even when outside. Made of 20% recycled materials and designed to be mostly underground, this eco-friendly dog house uses the Earth’s own temperature control system to heat and cool a special space for your dog. According to Miller Pet Products, the shell is “indestructible,” leak-proof, UV resistant, chew-proof, and comes with a lifetime warranty. Plus, with it partially buried, you won’t miss too much of your precious back yard space.
Does your dog love being outside in the yard? Would you get a product like this?
