Book description
Barkitecture: A Whimsical Blueprint for Pet-Friendly Living
Joshua Thomasson's Barkitecture feels like stepping into a playground where architecture and canine charm collide in the most delightful way. The book is a visual feast, packed with over fifty hand-picked designs that range from sleek, modern retreats to playful, whimsical abodes. Whether you're an interior designer itching for fresh inspiration, a pet parent dreaming of a custom oasis for your furry friend, or simply someone who adores animals, this volume will capture your imagination.
What sets Barkitecture apart is its inclusive approach: the "Meow-dern Purritecture" chapter proves that cats aren't left out-think scratching posts, climbing towers, and cozy nooks just for them. The authors' focus on both indoor and outdoor spaces shows a deep understanding of how pets live their lives day in and day out.
Beyond the gorgeous photography, the book offers practical insights into the companies and creators behind each structure. Thomasson doesn't shy away from the philanthropic side of things either; every house is auctioned with 100 % of proceeds going to local foster homes and rescue groups. It's a reminder that beauty and benevolence can go hand in paw.
The chapters are thoughtfully themed: Furry Furnishings for indoor doghouses, Barks & Recreation for outdoor retreats, Greenest Paws highlighting sustainable materials, and Pawsitively Unconventional showcasing the most daring concepts. Each section feels like a curated gallery walk, with captions that blend architectural jargon with playful pet-centric humor.
For anyone who loves design, sustainability, or simply wants to see how far creativity can take the humble doghouse, Barkitecture is an essential read-and a charming gift for the designer or dog lover in your life. It's more than a coffee-table book; it's a celebration of the bond between humans and their four-legged companions, framed through the lens of innovative architecture.
