5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful collection of unexpected designs., April 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Barkitecture (Hardcover)
I saw the review of Barkitecture in People Magazine. Leafing through it in the bookstore, I found it to be delightful and purchased it on the spot. Each page has unexpected designs ranging from elegant to outrageous. My favorite is the thatched roof English Tudor doghouse (with garden).

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome homes for dogs., August 24, 2004
By 
This review is from: Barkitecture (Hardcover)
This book isn't a how-to; some of these designs probably wouldn't be too practical for the average dog person to build. What it is is a fascinating and fun look at the inspired creations of some of the world's architects with the purpose of providing shelters for dogs, and even a few historical facts, figures, and photos. A terrific coffee table book, Barkitecture is valuable as something to peruse with a friend at leisure and determine which styles you like and dislike. There is a wealth of doghouses found in these pages, proving the author's committment to scouring the globe for all the most brilliant and/or puzzling ones. The photographs are excellent; some of these canine casas have exquisite detail. A couple of them look genuinely uncomfortable, I must admit, and others just make you wonder why anyone would ever even dream up such an odd mansion (or monstrosity). Others are just fun to look at. The Muttropolitan Museum features six paintings of famous dog composers and opera stars, all with clever names. Some are funky and colorful. Some are luxorious. Some defy description, and some are just remarkable; the bone-covered !!!*SIT*!!! has photos of dogs on the walls and is painted like a real house. Foreign Correspondent is notably decorated in curtains and pillows. Some houses are culturally inspired, and Red Rover even has a pool attached. How can one beat that? Truly this is a book worth flipping through at least once. You might even get a few ideas for your own dog.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Ideas and Photos, June 23, 2003
By 
SEwing "SEwing" (Fairborn, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barkitecture (Hardcover)
This book contains great ideas for doghouses. They are unique and truly amazing. The photos provide great inspiration. However, the book does not contain any actual plans to build a doghouse.
