Architecture goes to the dogs
This is Kenya Hara. He’s a top architect from Japan. He’s also a dog lover, and recently he came up with what he calls the ‘D-Tunnel’ for his teacup poodle.
People liked it so much he decided to create an online collaborative project to get other designers and architects from America, Europe and Japan involved in designer doghouses.
The result will surprise you, and they’ve not only provided ideas and prototypes, but DIY blueprints so you can build them yourself if you wish. Photos courtesy via
