Foster Partners Dome Home Dog Kennel Concept Entry 2

You can’t blame some dog lovers for spending a lot of money on food and stuff for their pets. So if you have that mindset that it’s okay to spend for pets, you’d love this Dome-Home from Foster + Partners.

The Dome-Home is not exactly expensive, but it looks like something that you would spend a lot of money on. The design is cutting-edge, something that we don’t usually expect from a dog kennel. But then again, when there is the topic of design, any object can be given a new iteration.

Foster + Partners has submitted an entry into the Barkitecture competition at a major pet event. The Dome-Home features a geometric form that creatives and design enthusiasts will love even if they don’t exactly love dogs. At the Goodwoof pet event held over the weekend, Norman Foster proudly showcased the plush kennel to dog owners. Foster described the product with a geodesic shell structure. He also noted, “it is like architecture in miniature,” and we can agree that it is a sight to behold.

Canine luxury seems to be a thing now, and there is no stopping pet owners from spoiling their babies. This time, Foster + Partners reimagines such pet luxury by introducing the handcrafted cherry wood dog kennel. Great design and craftsmanship always go together, and we love what we’ve seen from the designer and English furniture maker Benchmark.

The Dome-Home is made of engineered cherry wood and fine timber. A flexible padded fabric liner complements the bowl-shaped interior for your dog’s comfort. The liner is even removable for easy washing as described.

We can already imagine the Dome-Home in homes of minimalist pet lovers. The geodesic shell form isn’t exactly a simple design, but the wood material gives it a more natural and earthy feel. It’s modern contemporary that we believe can be timeless.

Over the weekend, the Goodwoof held at the Goodwood House was filled with numerous dogs of all breeds, sizes, and shapes. It’s a special event that celebrated man’s best friend. Several special activities for dogs and their humans were featured. In addition, lots of products were presented, including the Dome-Home.

We’re no stranger to kennel designs, as we’ve featured several here before. However, not all are exclusive for our paw-friends as kennels can both be for cats and dogs. That DIY Feline Digs was a cool cat crate, while that PaiPai Pets doubled as a cat tower and storage area. We once thought the Fetch House could be the best dog house for your best boy.

This cat kennel doubles as a cat tower and storage area with enough room for two indoor litter boxes!

For the most part, cats know how to take care of themselves. The only thing they can’t do is buy cat litter and tin cans filled with wet salmon puree or chicken. All they need is a tiny home to call their own and they’ll be set. Luckily enough, designers at PaiPai Pets created a sort of tiny home for cats to play inside of and where their humans can stow away the litter box.

PaiPai Pets’ double basin cat kennel is a cat tower and console storage cabinet in one. Looking at the kennel head-on, two wide doors border a narrower middle door, which opens up to the kennel’s storage unit and jungle-gym interior. On the left and right sides of the kennel, there’s enough space to fit two large litter boxes, which are always accessible through the middle door’s open porthole.

Behind the kennel’s center cabinet, storage shelves can be found where cat owners can stow away smaller items like cans of wet cat food and litter scoopers. Painted in bright white, with natural wood accents along the perimeter, the kennel can remain discreet even in busier home spaces like the living room or den. Along the sides of the kennel, smaller portholes allow for plenty of airflow as well as a fun way for you to play whack-a-mole with your cat.

One of the main reasons people stay away from adopting kittens and cats is due to the smell of cat litter and the hassle that comes with taking care of that– if only cats could take care of their business and its smell too. PaiPai Pets’ double basin cat kennel provides a way for you and your cat to have your tuna and eat it too. With enough space to house two litter boxes and all the feline accessories you might need, PaiPai Pets takes care of the dirty business that we wish our cat could.

PaiPai Pets’ double basin cat kennel has enough room to git two full-size litter boxes.

When closed, PaiPai Pets’ cat kennel is as nondescript as any other console storage unit.

The middle door opens up to a shelved compartment area for smaller accessories like litter scoopers and cans of food.

While the double basin cat kennel features areas for two litter boxes, there’s also room for a play area in the middle.

The side panels of PaiPai Pets’ cat kennel feature circular portholes that allow airflow and an additional play area for cats.

The best doghouse for your best-boy!

Might I loosely paraphrase Mean Girls this fine Wednesday by saying that this doghouse ‘is so fetch’! Literally titled the Fetch House, this doggy-kennel is made from a 3D-printed skeleton that holds a thousand tennis balls to make what I can only describe as canine paradise. I mean look at how pleased the dog looks in the picture above!

The Fetch House was designed by CallisonRKTL as an entry into the Bark + Build Pet House Design & Build Competition held in Dallas, Texas. The house (designed to shelter one incredibly happy canine) comes with a modular internal structure that allows you to compression-fit as many as a 1000 tennis-balls into it. The balls can randomly be pulled out of their individual enclosures for the purpose of playing fetch (hence the name), and can easily be press-fitted back in when done. Conversely, owners can add fewer balls to form patterns in the facade or create windows for light and ventilation. “Ultimately, we would like to create a platform that allows individuals to customize the doghouse design based on their specific dog,” says Brendan O’Grady, VP of CRKTL’s Dallas office. “They can then download the digital model and use a local maker space or their own desktop 3D printer to fabricate the structure.” Now isn’t that just paw-fect?

DIY Feline Digs!

Unlike many plastic monocoque kennels, this cool cat crate is flat-pack and easy to take anywhere, even after you’ve put it together. The DIY design arrives as a slim package and can be put together in minutes with thoughtfully cut wood sides and felt sheets. The materials are not only cozy for kitty, but nice to look at unlike many other industrial-style designs!

Dog Kennel Has a Built-in Air Conditioner (for Hot Dogs)

Posted on by

It’s not always easy having pets. You have to go out of your way for them. When you travel, do you leave your pet at an expensive kennel or do you leave it home with the air conditioner running and somebody coming over to take them out for walks? Either way, it is expensive. MRT Corp’s personally cooled dog kennel(JP) could help with the cooling part at least.

This small kennel has very own cooling unit and measures 43 × 43 × 47 cm. Yes, that seems pretty confining, but at least your pet will be cool. If you have a great dane, you’ll have to get one for each of its paws and another for its head. And just like our favorite gadgets, the new kennel is available in a variety of colors: wood grain, pastel pink, and pastel blue.

This mini dog fridge can be set from 10 to 40 degrees. I’m guessing that is Celsius, unless you want a dogsicle. It also costs approximately $515(USD) – so maybe you should just leave the air conditioning on.
