Description

A showcase of eclectic doghouse designs, architectural inspiration, and adorable dogs.

Barkitecture is a world of innovative doghouse design featuring over 50 unique houses, from sleek modern beauties to whimsically eclectic creations. Whether you're a seasoned designer, a dog parent looking to create a special retreat for your furry family member, or simply someone who loves dogs, you will adore this book of cool digs and cute dogs.

As you dive deeper into the insights and invention of stylish and functional doghouses, get to know the companies, creators, and their furry friends behind the scenes. These doghouses are not meant to kick a pet out of the main house but give them their own custom oasis, whether for indoor or outdoor use. As in the photographs, these houses cater to a variety of personalities and breeds, with options for napping, relaxing, or playing.

From the company Triangle Barkitecture, founders of the one-of-a-kind pet architecture and design competition, each featured doghouse is auctioned off with 100 percent of the event's profits going to pets in need, including local foster and pet rescue organizations listed throughout the book. Written by the president of AIA Barkitecture, Josh Thomasson, find architectural renderings of each house, which champion sustainable design practices, and see how a concept became a reality for a pet in need.

Feast your eyes on adorable dogs in exciting houses throughout these themed chapters:

• Furry Furnishings for indoor doghouses
• Barks and Recreation for outdoor doghouses
• Greenest Paws for sustainable doghouses
• Pawsitively Unconventional for intriguing doghouses
• Meow-dern Purritecture for cat houses (Yes, cats are welcome in this book with all the scratching posts and climbing trees they could dream of.)

With a blend of art, architecture, and cute dogs, this book is the perfect gift for the designer or dog lover in your life.
