2019 Entry
Fetch House
Best in Show
Presented as the overall winner of the Bark+Build doghouse design/build competition and the overall jurors' favorite. This entry epitomizes the best overall design and construction detailing in the pack.
FETCH House is an interactive shelter for your modern dog, exploring how digital design and fabrication can change the way we think about how we build and live. The design uses technology to promote an active lifestyle thru a continuous facade of over 1000 standard tennis balls which is then interconnected by a modular support structure 3D printed using lightweight plastic. The balls, which are held in place by compression, can be pulled out so you can play fetch with your dog. After hours of enjoyment, the balls can be reinserted into the doghouse. The cellular nature of the design allows you to remove balls randomly or you can create unique patterns which allow more light or air to filter into the doghouse.
