The DOGone House by Archimania was designed for a charity event called Barkitecture. The house’s design was inspired by a matchbook, which has an inner box that slides in and out of an outer shell. Therefore, the inner shell, made of stained wood, can be easily removed and cleaned as needed. The steel outer shell helps reflect the sunlight to minimize heat gain, and also contains two built-in food and water bowls.
Architectura is a modern dog house inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright designed and created by David M. Neighbor of Pre Fab Pets. It comes in small, medium, and large — large enough for a decent-sized dog at 48″ x 48″ x 35″H and you can also get natural or orange-stained slats. I bet you could plant a green roof on top!
I spotted the Phoyo Playhouse on Better Living Through Design and I know it’s for kids, but I thought what if you put a cushion inside. Do you think this would make a cute indoor doghouse/bed? Do you think your dog would use this?
Italian outdoor company Fuora, is launching DogHouse a modern and stylish dog kennel which requires no maintenance at all. DogHouse is a high quality and high performance dog kennel made with a multi layered birch wood from a Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) sustainable source. The wood has been treated with a special thermoplastic overlay to resist all weather conditions. The sides are manually coated with an eco-friendly transparent varnish: “We wanted the core of the wood to be visible,” say designers Manolo Bossi and Alberto Benedetti, founder of Fuora.
The Cubix Dog Mansion by German company Best Friend’s Home is probably the most modern dog house I have ever seen. It is designed to pay homage to the Bauhaus style. The raised roof and rectangular windows are nice architectural details. It’s made from quality varnished wood and features break-proof window glass that is resistant to all types of weather conditions. Available sizes include small, medium, and extra large (yay!). This pet palace is manufactured and shipped from Germany, so I’m guessing overseas shipping ain’t be cheap, but — hey — neither is this dog house.
How adorable are these new dog house wall decals by GECKO? One of these would be just perfect right behind your dog’s bed, like I did for Beans.
The Magis Dog House is for one pampered pup. Like all of Magis’ awesome designs, the brightly-colored polyethylene really makes this a modern design. Sometimes I wonder whether my dogs would ever use a dog house. Since I don’t have a yard yet, I don’t know! Do those of you with yards have dog houses, and if so, do your dogs actually use them?
