Chinese Wood Dog House

The dog has better architecture than you do.

This dog house comes from China and is contemporary, built of elm wood. Its form borrows from Chinese temple and palace roofs, whose sweeping, upturned eaves were a mark of status long before anyone thought to offer them to a pet. Rows of ribbed roof tiles rise to a small central finial, with curled scrolls at each corner. Pierced quatrefoil lattice frames the wide, square doorway, and the whole sits on a low plinth. Nearly 50 inches long and 42.5 high.
