A showcase of eclectic designs, architectural inspiration, and adorable dogs.
Barkitecture is a world of innovative pet architecture featuring over 50 unique houses, from sleek modern beauties to whimsically fun creations. Whether you’re a seasoned designer, a pet parent looking to create a special retreat for your furry family member, or simply someone who loves animals, you will adore this book of cool digs and furry friends. For the cat lovers out there, don't worry—felines have their place in Barkitecture too! With a dedicated chapter featuring creative cat-friendly designs, this book celebrates all pets of the four-legged variety.
As you dive deeper into the insights and invention of stylish and functional pet architecture, get to know the companies, creators, and their furry friends behind the scenes. These designs 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. Catered to a variety of personalities and breeds, these houses have a range of uses such as napping, relaxing, or playing, with some practical features to please the owner as well.
From the company Barkitecture, founders of the one-of-a-kind pet architecture and design competition, each featured house 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 Barkitecture, Joshua Thomasson, find photos from five years of the event.
Feast your eyes on adorable dogs in exciting houses throughout these themed chapters:
