This short project was for a charity auction benefiting an animal shelter.  I developed a patterning and geometry generation script and designed the water run-off channel.  The pattern and construction method were inspired by the design of the masonry logic lobby wall.  Bamboo plywood was cut on a CNC router stacked, pegged and glued.  Trent Tesch’s design is based on traditional kennel style dog houses.  They consist of a wooden crate with a side opening and half partition wall.  The shape mimics the path a dog takes when settling down to sleep.  That form was abstracted into the spiral of this dog house.
