Are You Looking For A Custom Dog House?

One of my friends has been working for an architecture firm for the past year or so, but he recently has had the itch to design custom dog houses. We always used to have dog houses for our family dogs at home. Unfortunately, because I live in a small condo with just a patio I haven’t had the luxury of getting a dog house let alone a custom dog house for my furry friends (hopefully that will all change as I’m looking to buy a house with a nice backyard).
I stopped by my architecture friend’s house the other day and got a first hand look at one of his custom dog house prototypes. My girlfriend’s parents dog, Yuki even had the chance to test drive this doggy home.
Custom Craftsman Dog House
I don’t think he has names for these houses yet so we’ll just call prototype 1 the Craftsman Dog House.

Yep, that’s our pal Yuki testing out one of the porches on this little abode. It looks pretty comfy!

Here’s another angle of the same house…and the same dog…this time practicing a sit-stay. You can see on the inside there’s a nice little doggy bed to keep your little buddy cozy and warm.

Here’s a side angle and you can see Luke in the background about to settle into his dog bed. I’m not too sure what the pricing will be on these custom dog houses, but I’m sure you can work on pricing with the designer.
I’ve been looking for a new home (a human home that is) for a few years now and I really like the architecture of this Craftsman Dog House (I’ve been actually looking at Eichler homes). Hopefully if I can find the right Eichler home I can commission my buddy to design a beautify mid-century modern Eichler doggy home for Stetson, Linus, and Adelle. First things first…I have to find a new home for me and the doggies. Wish us luck!
Are you looking for a custom dog house? If so, let us know what you’re looking for in the comment section below. What do you guys think about these custom craftsman doggy homes? Do you already have a dog house for you furry friends?
UPDATE: We heard that the pricing is going to be somewhere between $400-600 depending on the size of your dog. Here are some more pictures of this dog house. Also, I made some updates to the post as indeed this is a Craftsman Bungalow style dog house.

Can u please tell me how to get the blue prints to build my dogs one plz
I love this doghouse. Could you send me the price and shipping options please?
Thank you,
Christy
I’m glad you like the dog house. I will be meeting with the architect who designed the house next week. I will get you more details in the coming week.
Measures could inform the house?
Can you please let us know what the price would be for this doghouse to hold an 85 pound lab and a 17 pound terrier? What would the cost of shipping be?
Thanks!
I’m pinging the architect with your request.
Thanks,
Colby
Do you have a website or catalog for the craftsman dog house
I’m in South FL
I XL Saint Bernards
How would it ship?
Thank you
Hi Laurie,
I sent an email to the architect and asked him to respond to your request. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi, I must say, this is the finest I have seen. I would like the same did my dog. Is this something the artist can make for my black lab Oreo?
Hi Rajat, I sent an email to the artist and asked him to respond to your question. Thanks for stopping by!
Great doghouse! Would your friend be willing to sell us the plans? We would need them to accommodate an 80 pound lab.
Thanks so much for checking!
I’m glad you like the dog house. I’ll check with the designer to see if he will make the plans available.
That’s really cool. I have a really active toy poodle and a dog house that she could play in like that would be awesome. It seems well worth the cost.
We think it’s pretty cool too. We may have to commission Brian to build us a custom dog house for our new home.
Custom dog houses are the way to go. How else are you gonna get a dog house that looks like an authentic Japanese pagoda? The multi-level playing areas are so cool!!
Thanks! I’m glad you like the design. Brian is working on some other designs for dog houses as we speak!
