BowWow Haus London features around 70 custom dog kennels designed by architects, artists and designers to raise funds for charity. Here we highlight a half-dozen kennels made from wood.

Dog Pod by TLA Studio with Louise Glazebrook is made from 12 pieces of bendable plywood that can be folded flat.

TravelKennel by Studio Lisboeta was built by Base Models using four boards of construction grade plywood CNC cut and assembled in a jigsaw process.

PiM.dog by piM.studio Architects is composed of nine plywood panels cut via CNC machine into graphic patterns based on the sound waves of a barking dog.

K3 by Hasan Al-Rashid, student at the Architectural Association who handcrafted the organic design from plywood for more than 100 hours.

The Kable by PLYable Design and EDable Architecture looks like Snoopy's kennel but its red roof opens up to serve as a table and let breezes cool the dog inside.
