The Event
21 Designers, 21 Doghouses
Last year, Design Within Reach and the 2nd Street District announced Barkitecture Austin 2007, a modern doghouse design challenge
benefiting
local Austin animal rescue groups.
Twenty-one local Austin architecture and
design firms were invited to unleash their creativity while
working under a set of guidelines: The doghouses must contain some
recycled and sustainable materials; may not exceed five feet in
length, depth or height;
and total costs may not exceed $1,000.
On Saturday October 21, everyone was invited to
check out the doghouses on display throughout the 2nd Street District
from Noon – 5pm. All of the Barkitecture
doghouses were auctioned off via silent auction during the afternoon. Proceeds benefited local pet rescue charities,
including Sara Sanctuary, Lil Paws Maltese Rescue, Wee Rescue,
and Blue Dog Rescue. Participating pet rescue groups were at
Barkitecture Austin with
great dogs available for adoption and looking for great homes.
Awards for distinguished doghouse designs and winners of the silent
auction were announced at 6pm at Design Within
Reach (200 W. 2nd Street). Several participating architects and
designers were also on hand to discuss their creations. Winning
doghouses were displayed at Design Within Reach for the rest
of the weekend.
We'd like to thank everyone who came to celebrate the incredible architecture and design talent in
Austin and helped raise funds for our furry friends at these wonderful
animal rescue groups.
