THE TALL TAIL OF BARKITECTURE
Our Barkitecture brand began in 2018 with a vision to promote and support local pet rescues by using custom pet architecture to help raise awareness for local rescues while promoting the quality of local architecture and design, all while reaching new and bigger audiences. Barkitecture is a custom pet architecture competition that challenges local architects, designers, and creative minds to design and build custom pet architecture to be auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting local pet rescue organizations. It is a celebration of a love for design and pets.
In 2019 the first Triangle Barkitecture competition brought together local architects, designers, and creative minds all over North Carolina to design and build custom pet architecture to be showcased in a one-day feature event. Each design was auctioned off, with all proceeds going to support local rescue organizations. Since its inception, Barkitecture has held 5 total events and has raised over $110,000 to support the pets and rescues who need it the most. More than just its final donation total, Barkitecture is a place to showcase adoptable pets and give them a real chance at finding their forever homes.
A TRUE TESTAMENT TO THE
POWER OF DESIGN AND COMMUNITY
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
By hosting a Barkitecture event, you’re helping to give a voice to those unable to speak for themselves. Barkitecture gives adoptable pets the opportunity to model award-winning designs from some of the best local designers and have their stories told one event at a time.
