With Goodwoof Barkitecture just days away, Homecrux is leaving no stone unturned in bringing you the fastest and most exclusive coverage of the event. After revealing the Nomad Juno chair by Henning Stummel Architects and the Fetch dog house by Coffey Architects, today we divulge the WigWag dog kennel designed by Hall + Bednarczyk.
The dog kennel features two main components: the stretch tensile fabric and the timber base. Akin to a portable conical tent, the WigWag dog kennel provides a cocooned shelter for the pooch. The teepee-inspired design of the kennel is a nod to the increasingly nomadic existence of office dogs.
The round timber base measures 32-inch in diameter and comes with a detachable 39-inch tall CNC-formed timber bone, modeled after a Stegosaurus femur. The timber bone affixes to the curved aluminum base rail and provides support to the structure. “The pole was an opportunity for a bit of fun, so it’s a piece of wood that’s been CNC milled into a dinosaur-scaled femur. What dog wouldn’t want that,” Martin Hall, Director of Hall + Bednarczyk tells us.
Then we have the dog collar that functions as a leather strap and ties to the washable stretch tensile fabric. The stretchy Lycra WigWag creates a conic form when tensioned with a spliced rope handle that loops over the bone.

“The idea for WigWag came to me while I was walking my dog Sable in woodland next to my home. It’s a place my kids sometimes make bivouacs, and the thought of the tented shelter as a portable home from home seemed like a good response to the brief,” adds Martin.
Easily transportable, the cozy shelter prevents your dog from excessive heat in the summer. Not to mention the small opening in the kennel for your pooch to move in and out.
