Every year, the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel plays host to the BowWow Hause London dog house design show and auction. Benefiting the UK-based animal charity Blue Cross, the show features 60+ one-of-a-kind designer dog homes created by a mix of celebrities, renowned architects, artists and designers.
The show is held every April, and raises thousands of dollars (pounds) for the charity. Inspired by some of the entries I found, I thought today I would share my faves, alongside a number of great designs from other sources as well. Enjoy!
You can check out Blue Cross on their website.
Modern dog house complete with gutter which recycles rainwater into a decorative planter. 1118 Woof Ranch by PD WorkshopDouble dog crate sideboard with sliding barn doors by KennelandCrateSustainable dog house with solar powered fan and automatically-irrigated grass-covered roof and ramp by Studio SchicketanzGorgeous glass mosaic dog house by Sue Penrose MosaicsTeak-and-steel MDK9 dog house (on wheels!) by Rah:DesignAquatic-themed dog cave by Tamara Froud, Mosaic Art Ltd.Cement and bamboo dog house by DLM ArchitectureAsian-influenced thatch-roofed beach dog shack. The Indo House by Designer Dog HousesMeant for nervous dogs who get stressed out by thunder, fireworks, and street noise, the Quiet Kennel is a noise-cancelling dog house by Ford Europe
I especially like the idea of the noise-cancelling one. Does that come in human queen-bed sized too? I have neighbors who like to party a little too much sometimes.
These are all great designs. I especially like the thought that has gone into the noise cancelling one. I have never had a dog who had a house of its own or even a crate – they just lived in the house with us – but I would imagine that many dogs like having a wee space of their own.
I know some dogs find it comforting. Eventually, I think we will get a dog, and we’re planning on getting one of those crates that doubles as an end table.
I’m sure that’s true, but if you brought it to the attention of one of the autism organizations, maybe they could do something. At the least, it would give them an idea they could maybe run with!
I think it would be cool if they could manage it with life-size Lego bricks–a do-it-yourself kid cave complete with sound dampening, wrap-around wall covers. But, it is to dream.

I’ve had two dogs and none were interesting in the dog house. They might reconsider with these… Especially the last one, ahh. ❤

Absolutely. I always say I’d like to come back as a (happy) dog.

I appreciated the space-saving, dual purpose nature of the design of those.

I’d like a noise cancelling cubicle for my autistic son. I wonder how to make that last one a reality and on a larger scale?

I was thinking about that, too. I’m sure it couldn’t hurt to write to the and ask. I’d be interested in their answer.

It’s probably the prohibitive price that keeps me from inquiring.
