Dog Hoos was born from a lifelong love of architecture — and an equally deep love for dogs.

What began as sketches and sawdust grew into a passion project with purpose: to reimagine what a dog house could be.

Each hoos is a sculptural showpiece and lifestyle statement

designed for dogs, and the people who love design.

This is more than a hobby, it’s a growing brand in a making.

About me

It started with a sketchpad, a dog at my side, and the belief that pets deserve more than basic.  I became an architect, designing immersive spaces in hospitality — always chasing form, function, and feeling.

Dog Hoos brings those passions together: purpose-built structures that blend high design with playful spirit.  From daydreams to doodles, the goal has always been the same — to create spaces that make people (and pups) feel something.

Design for dogs, inspired by architecture.

Dog Hoos takes its cues from iconic works of modern architecture and design — from the clean lines of mid-century masters to the sculptural expression of contemporary outdoor spaces.

Each hoos is crafted with purpose: warm woods, bold forms, and architectural details that spark joy and conversation.

The result? Not just shelter — a head-turning statement for design lovers and their four-legged companions.
