The 2019 edition of the annual Bark+Build Competition was successfully organized by SPCA of Texas, an animal welfare agency dedicated to providing homes for pets. It invites teams of professional architects to build pet houses, and pet lovers to shop and contribute to the well-being of homeless pets.

There were a total of 24 custom-made doghouses and cat condos on display at NorthPark Center. These pet houses were sponsored by members of the American Institute of Architects Dallas Chapter (AIA Dallas) and TEXO, The Construction Association.

The final pieces were auctioned off and the proceeds are credited to SPCA of Texas. Here is a list of the winning entries (in various categories) from the competition.

TranquiliTea Dog House

Leo A Daly’s Dallas team in collaboration with Batson Cook Construction had conceived this dog house that resembles a Japanese teahouse – recognized as a place of harmony, purity, respect, and tranquility. The TranquiliTea is designed to provide pups with a concealed space to relax after the long day.

The doghouse bagged the people’s choice “Top Dog” award at the Bark+Build Competition.

Fetch House

This unique 3D printed dog house was designed and created by CallisonRTKL in collaboration with AECOM Hunt. It is an interactive, modular structure that can be fitted with more than 1,000 tennis balls. The balls can be inserted into the designed cavities around the structure or be pulled out if you want to create a pattern on the doghouse, allow in more light and air or play a game of fetch with your pal.

The modules of the dog house can be easily snapped together without any special tools and can even be expanded if required. The Fetch House won the “Best in Show” award.

It boasts a trendy industrial style finish with a rustic wood base. There is a large opening for the dog to enter and rest on the soft cushion inside. The wide opening also makes it easy to clean and maintain the doghouse.

Pawsh Retreat won the “Teacup Pup” award that represents the best design for small dogs.
