Cali's Corner // The Rise of Barkitecture

The phrase “you’re in the dog house” has a whole new meaning with the continued rise of the architectural trend known as Barkitecture (it first became mainstream with the celebrity-studded Quibi show of the same name). While accommodating our furry, four-legged family members in home design has long been a priority for many homeowners, the demand for certain pet-centric features has inspired a more formulaic approach to design.

Barkitecture incorporates elements of design that are both person- and pet-friendly. Some of our favorites include:

The Dog Den // A spare bedroom or office space can be utilized as a full-blown pet paradise.
The At-Home Pet Spa // There has been a rise in adding pet-friendly wash areas in mudrooms or garages. There are also pet-friendly faucets that can be attached to most shower heads!
The Canine Coat Closet // A designated storage space for Spot’s seasonal sweaters has become just as important as their leash + toys.
Dog-height Water Fountains // We are lapping up this chic home addition!
