Seungmean Lee has developed a cooling dog house to be utilized in the scorching summer months. The designer emphasizes the fact that while humans have the ability to naturally regulate their body temperature, this isn't the case for furry companions who struggle to stay cool. As summers become hotter and drier, a cooling dog house might be a great solution for keeping pets comfortable.
Seungmean Lee's solution is Igloo-shaped. The dog house features a passage and an inner dome structure. The materials and structure ensure functionality and safety. The Igloo operates automatically through embedded sensors at the entrance. When the temperature is high, it detects the pet's entry and adjusts the temperature to the owner's preset comfort level. The passage, on the other hand, is designed in a way to keep the cold from escaping.
