2020 Entry

Gardenview Paw-villion

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.

The Gardenview Paw-villion provides the feeling of being cocooned by a protective, sculptural canopy, like a favorite blanket draped over a dog’s crate. At the bottom, sliding panels allow for both privacy and customizable views in different directions.  Designed from the dog’s perspective, this wooden pavilion is a relaxing shelter that also gives the dog the experience of being connected to his or her humans and surrounding garden activities.  White oak wood related to natural comfort and is a resilient choice for the outdoors.  The sliding panels simultaneously allow for natural air ventilation, while the full height entrance lets hot air escape.
