BURROW

Originating from an idea of folding earth, the Burrow uses the inherent capabilities of nature to provide a shelter and geothermal comfort for your dog. An opportunity to fully engage with nature is achieved by creating a series of overlapping folds using a combination of natural and architectural elements. To mitigate the hot Texas weather the Burrow blocks the hot day sun and harnesses the wind through proper orientation, with the additional ability to keep the floor surface cooled by solar technology. The low maintenance sedum green roof not only provides a platform for your dog to relax, but also delivers water retention capabilities. The Burrow is not just a dog house, it is nature made for your dog to feel at home.
