They chose to use ultra-high-performance sustainable wood Accoya, to produce a beautiful kennel which is more than suitable to live outside.
Their kennel, Bonehenge, was fashioned majestically by fine woodworker, Karl Lewin, and won the Barkitecture Prize.
Bonehenge was unanimously selected as winner in a cast of entries and by the judging panel of Kevin McCloud, Bill Bailey and Stephen Bayley. The kennel was then sold in the charity auction for £2,500.
Goodwoof was broadcasted across the UK by ITV in which Kevin McCloud announced Bonehenge as the winning kennel. He gave a really generous appreciation for the project highlighting its sustainability, durability and “guaranteed for 50 years”.
