Dog shelters represent a specialized building typology that balances animal welfare with community needs. Designers working in this space address challenges of temporary and permanent housing, sensory environments, and the relationship between animals and their caretakers.

The community explores diverse shelter models including modular rescue facilities, adaptive reuse projects, and innovative material strategies. Projects range from small-scale interventions to larger facilities that reconsider traditional shelter layouts and integrate community spaces.

Temporary home for dogs

The uniqueness of this project stems from the fact, that the main goal of the shelter is to keep the dogs at this place as short as possible and therefore the shelter is designed for people to choose the best (the corridor concept) and to make friends with the chosen dog (the zoo concept).

Home for Homelessness

Our project is dedicated to providing a shelter for homeless animals, homeless people and impending food. The main function of this shelter is to adopt stray animals, but at the same time, it provides shelter for the local homeless people, so that they can become the staff of the shelter and work and live in society with dignity.

One community

Bucharest is a city that has been facing the problem of strays for over a decade and it has affected both the strays and the communities. In this project we provide an alternative that allows architecture to answer this so-called problem in a way that ensures the well being of the strays and provides a space of connection for the humans.

END WANDERING

This is a shelter where no dogs are euthanized. The shelter offers a complete socialization process to help reintegrate stray dogs into their homes. In addition, the shelter also provides certain jobs for unadopted dogs, increasing the chance of human contact and improving their chances of being adopted.

THE POPPY FIELDS. Architecture of care

"The Poppy Fields" is a conceptual design for an animal shelter complex with an expanded programme — veterinary care, rehabilitation, education and a farm-animal zone. It is a story about building a sense of safety: a place where care becomes a landscape — a meadow, the shade of a tree, a gentle water's edge — where every rescued animal learns to trust again
