Welcome to the 'barkitecture' boom



Teddy stepping out of his custom doghouse built by Johnathan Lower.

Fueled by social media images, magazine spreads and home renovation TV shows, Americans are investing serious resources into home design for pets. 
 Some families are incorporating custom-built showers just for dogs into entrances and laundry rooms, so that muddy pups don’t have to be rinsed off outside or in a human shower. 
There are electronic pet doors that open only for the chip on a specific pet’s collar; custom kennels built to blend into a room’s decor and pet feeding stations that come with water faucets, so owners don’t have to fill a pet’s bowl in the kitchen sink.
