2017 Entry

Wag On Inn

Enviro Dog
The “Enviro Dog” award is presented to the team that best utilizes and embraces sustainable practices in both design and construction of their doghouse entry.

Our design intent was to create an environmentally friendly, flexible environment that would address the needs of an SPCA adoptee as well as provide a fun and convenient place for the family to interact with their cherished canine member of the family. The front features a food and water station hinged in a manner to allow for interior consumption protected from exterior

factors and provide ease of access for replenishing by all family members. The structure is designed with ventilation and protection in mind by allowing for circulating airflow through the upper wall sections under the roof canopy. The roof is user configurable for either green roof landscaping or as a solid canopy (constructed) for lower maintenance as desired. Drainage is provided for either configuration. The rolling door feature provides ease of access for cleaning and can also be secured open to expand the interior space into the surrounding environment. This offers the adoptee a safe and comfortable space to relax while being protected from the weather.
