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.
