Footnotes

""Enduring Tradition" marks the elevated status of the modern dog in the family home, imagining the traditional kennel as an eye-catcher in the landscape: a tribute to man's best friend. Its adaptability in positioning gives the dog a space to experience the natural world in comfort. Traditional materials and craftsmanship celebrate the natural world.


This design celebrates the esteemed place of dogs within the family home, drawing inspiration from Palladian villas which historically offered rural escapes. Like follies built to enhance nature's beauty while providing shelter, "Enduring Tradition" does the same for your dog, offering a stylish yet practical sanctuary. Natural materials like timber and thatch are sustainable, durable, and age gracefully. The rustic materials with a tree trunk column evoke Cottage Orné, an architectural style used for country living retreats - while also playfully nodding to a dog's love of sticks.


Guided by a weathervane, the rotating mechanism helps it adapt to the weather and the seasons. Each side has a different level of protection, allowing the dog to experience comfort in nature regardless of the elements. On sunny spring days, the open side could face south, capturing the warmth of the sun, while on breezy autumn afternoons, it can be rotated to offer shelter from the wind.

Designed to be movable, "Enduring Tradition" enhances any landscape, whether nestled in a cottage garden or on the slopes of a larger estate. Its dismantlable structure allows for easy relocation, ensuring comfort wherever your dog's favourite spot is."
