Do not show this blog to your dog. There’s a big, new trend called barkitecture. Designers vie to create the most elaborate, ingenious or downright decadent doghouses. Some are auctioned off to raise funds for shelters and rescue groups.
I became aware of architecture going to the dogs from an article in Dezeen. A London architecture studio created a doghouse for their studio dog named Lucky. Lucky is indeed lucky. His custom designed digs is called Fetch. The architects used gabion, which is a mesh basket, to form the kennel. Gabions are usually filled with rocks to create walls in landscapes. In a humorous twist, Lucky’s doghouse is filled with balls, hundreds of tennis balls. It’s a dog’s ultimate fantasy come true.
The architects plan on entering their playful doghouse at Goodwoof, an annual dog event at the Goodwood estate in England. I checked out the trailer for Goodwoof, and it is truly something to bark about. It would be a ball (pun intended) to go to Goodwoof even without a dog.
