The Doggy Paddle

Hot Dog
The “Hot Dog” award is presented as the overall runner-up to the winner of the Bark + Build design competition and as second place winner.

The Doggy Paddle House is a great place for man’s best friend to escape the Texas heat.  The expandable house reveals a doggy pool to offer a chance to cool their paws if the heat is just too much.  Anti-microbial turf is used as the flooring to provide a cool, comfortable, and clean place for your furry friend to call home.  The open floor plan and chimney use sustainable practices to promote air movement across the dog with the help of a solar panel and fan.  Incorporation of pastel colors are used to promote a calming feeling as they enjoy their time within the house.  The expandability allows for easier transportation and flexiaibility for the owner!
