The Fetch House was designed by CallisonRKTL upon entry into the Bark + Build Pet House Design & Build Competition in Dallas, Texas. It's designed to shelter canine companions and features a modular internal structure. Pet owners can fit up to 1000 tennis balls into their press-fitted slots to create an interactive dog house.
Moreover, owners can be creative with their tennis ball designs. They can remove the balls to organize them in a playful pattern. Conversely, the tennis ball dog house acts as an on-the-go fetch game. Users can easily remove the modular pieces and use them to play a fun game of fetch, giving The Fetch House its appropriate name. The structure is formed like a traditional house with a vaulted roof to provide dogs with ample lounging space.
