Glohaus

Underlying complexity driven by a simple design, the Glohaus pokes fun at what a dog house truly is – cleverly disguising lighting and cooling systems that enhance the dog’s living envelope.  This is a dog house.  Acting as a lantern, a pressure plate activated lighting system causes the doghouse to glow when a dog is seeking refuge.  This plate pressure is the final component in a chain of radiative cooling, bringing the dog a source of comfort on a hot summer day.  The doghouse accommodates all dog types, with a weather sealed envelope that can be interchangeable based on the dog’s tactile need.
