Designed for a couple and their Alaskan malamutes, the 360 Villa by the Dutch design studio 123DV is, as its name suggests, a circular house with 360˚ views courtesy of a continuous glazed exterior wall. That way, the couple never have to keep their eyes off their beautiful canine companions.
The house was designed in other ways to accommodate the presence of the dogs. A canopy extends all the way around the house, which, according to the architects’ statement, is to provide shelter for the dogs (and, assumedly, their humans). On one side of the villa, the garden wall rises to about halfway up the window, which lets the owners maintain literal eye contact with their dogs. Likewise, mirrored walls allow more visual connection to the dogs. Maybe overboard.

dog barf.
A circular villa with dogs in mind.
that roof edge isn't thick enough. should be double.
^ parapet?
nah - that is pure structure 5' deep steel beams.
Not a fan of the architecture but love the idea that a modest-sized space can be a home. But maybe this is just a vacation house?
According to Dutch standards this does not look modest at all, although difficult to judge with those lenses on the camera and no plans. Not a big fan of this one, looks like a Powerhouse Company Light.
