Barkitecture 2023
Barkitecture returns for 2023, with a brand new theme ‘A Companion Piece – Dogs at Work’.
This year we are looking for kennel designs that demonstrate how important dogs have become a part of our lifestyle and wellbeing, and represents the spaces we create for them within our homes, workplaces and schedules.
A collection of architects return to showcase their amazing and inspirational creations at Goodwoof.
A unique competition with Mastercard
Architects are competing for the ‘Single Kennel Design Award’ for a single or double occupancy dog kennel, open to registered architecture or design practices, especially those with dogs.
Practices are then expected to design, construct or procure their kennel for a maximum construction budget of £250 and deliver the finished kennel to Goodwood for the event. All kennels will then be auctioned at The Bonhams Barkitecture Auction for our charity, Pets As Therapy.

A little palace for cocker-spaniel, Illy, the challenge was to create something sustainable, provide generous lighting and harvest fresh rainwater for her dog bowl.

To this day, dogs can stay at the Hotel, accompany their owners in the restaurants, and even join our Members’ clubhouse, The Kennels. We thought that it was only fitting to dedicate an entire event to them, just as we do with cars and horses at our other flagship meetings.
As a team, we have a deep understanding of what really amuses our dogs. We know that they love playing together with their owners and with other dogs, getting plenty of exercise and fresh air, but each have their own personality.
Dogs mean so much to their owners so I'm looking forward to seeing some fantastic designs to house them in style.
