From affordable rural co-housing to bone-shaped dog kennels, the July 2022 architecture innovations accommodate both humans and their pets.
Pets also require comfortable habitats, as recognized by Birds Portchmouth Russum Architects. After entering the inaugural Barkitecture competition at Goodwoof, the company created the Bonehenge dog kennel. Similarly, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners designed the Dog Pod kennel as an example of a modern pet accessory.
For the non-canines of the world, architectural firms are looking for affordable and sustainable alternatives to the housing options currently on the market. The ArkHouse by Sam Payrovi and Nathalie Paiva, for example, is a floating sustainable home powered by solar technology. Charles Holland Architects, on the other hand, conceptualized a sustainable rural co-housing concept that envisions an affordable housing future.
