"Inspired by the protective embrace of a nuts shell, our kennel embodies both strength and sanctuary, offering an inviting refuge for Sandy, a dog deeply attunes to the rhythms of the woodland.

Beautifully crafted from salvaged timber, the design echoes the organic form of a seed, blending harmoniously into a natural garden setting while standing resilient against the ever-changing British weather.

This kennel transcends mere functionality.

Positioned outdoors, it allows Sandy to bask in the scents and sounds of nature, even during restful moments. Yet its portability allows it to be placed indoors, bringing the essence of the natural world into the heart of the home. In this way, it fostered a unique connection not only for Sandy but also for the humans who share the space, celebrating the synergy between indoor living and outdoor exploration.

Externally robust and enduring, the interior is a haven of comfort, rivalling the finest canine retreats. The soft sheepskin bedding, chosen with hypoallergenic qualities in mind, pays homage to Sandys Cockadoodledor lineage while ensuring comfort and practicality for the family. By marrying the tactile warmth of natural fibres with the structural integrity of locally sourced timber, the design embodies sustainable luxury.

This architectural piece is more than a kennel; it's a statement of our bond with nature, expressed through the eyes of our canine companions. By merging the innate durability of natural materials through craftmanship, it provides a serene space where Sandy can recharge, dreaming of woodland adventures to come.
