Are you a cat or dog lover? At ArchDaily we know that you're as big an animal lover as we are. They inspire us, keep us company, and in the case of architectural photography, give us an idea of a structure's scale. We previously made a collection of photographs starring cats and architecture, and we could never forget our dog-loving readers. We bring you a collection of photographs where dogs take center stage.

House Zeist / Bedaux de Brouwer Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Mon, 21 May 2018 01:00:00 +0000

The house is situated on the edge of a village in a natural setting where forest meets heathland. Distinctive features of the house are the raised patio and living area, the large overhanging roofs and the generous picture windows. The house is finished inside and out in exposed concrete. The straight lines and subdued detailing go to make up a striking design by Bedaux de Brouwer Architects.

Pavilion Brick Factory Vogelensangh / Bedaux de Brouwer Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 05:00:00 +0000

Vogelensangh, a brick factory with a rich history and the only one left where bricks are produced in traditionally coal-fired kilns, commissioned Bedaux de Brouwer Architects to design a contemporary pavilion. This resulted in a design that both in its exterior and interior emphasizes the timeless beauty of the tradition of hand-moulded brick.

Het Kielzog Cultural and Municipal Complex / De Zwarte Hond

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 08:00:00 +0000

The Municipality of Hoogezand-Sappemeer has been given a single, prominent, public building in which a theatre, an arts centre, a library and the town hall are accommodated. In the dynamic heart of this Dutch municipality citizens are served a wide palette of services, information, education, culture and recreation. Existing elements, such as the theatre auditorium, dating back to the 1980s, are re-used in the new development. The adjacent town hall, at the moment still in an outdated state, will ultimately undergo a complete transformation. In the meantime the existing premises and the new build function as a single entity. The connecting, central street forms a temporary solution to the gaps in the present infrastructure. Both in terms of use, as well as technological exploitation and urban design, the new central building has great advantages for Hoogezand-Sappemeer.

Makkinga House / DP6 Architectuurstudio

Karen Valenzuela — Tue, 05 Jan 2016 05:00:00 +0000

In the rural landscape between the villages of Makkinga and Donkerbroek in the northern province of Friesland (The Netherlands), the Makkinga house lies secluded by trees. Its orientation and use of materials create the effect of a dialogue with the surrounding natural landscape.

Dockboot Holiday Home / De Zwarte Hond

Daniel Sánchez — Tue, 07 Jul 2015 21:00:00 +0000

On the island of Schiermonnikoog off the north coast of the Netherlands, directly bordering the dune landscape, this modest, yet surprisingly spacious, environmentally sustainable holiday home blends perfectly into its surroundings. Due to the extended periods that the family stays there, the island’s maximum domestic footprint of 110m² was insufficient. The majority of the building’s functions have been programmed into the underground floor, thus achieving the desired spatial quality and size, while maintaining the structure’s affinity with its surroundings.

Villa Rotonda / Bedaux de Brouwer Architecten

Daniel Sánchez — Sun, 24 Aug 2014 01:00:00 +0000

In Villa Rotonda, completed July 2010, the archetypical “house with saddle roof” has been abstracted to its vernacular essentials. The design of this house in Goirle is a collaboration of architects Pieter and Thomas Bedaux of Bedaux De Brouwer Architects. In the design they quietly continue the legacy of their grandfather Jos. Bedaux who started the firm in 1937. Yet, the building also showcases the minimalist modernist twist which they are better known for these days.

Fries Museum / Bierman Henket architecten

Karen Valenzuela — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The Wilhelminaplein in Leeuwarden, also known as het Zaailand, has undergone a radical transformation. The enormous square has been reduced considerably by the addition of the new Fries Museum on the east side and a street front of housing and shops on the north side. The existing Zaailand shopping centre has been given a facelift. This combination of commercial and cultural functions creates a lively, urban atmosphere.

Pettelaarpark / ZZDP Architecten

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The Building is situated in the business park Pettelaarpark. Its location facing the ringroad A2, means it is being seen from various angles.

Haagsche Zwaan / ZZDP Architecten

Daniel Sánchez — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000

De Haagsche Zwaan (The Hague’s Swan) reaches high over the city highway to the TNT building opposite and forms a slim, tall portal over the highway Utrechtse baan. The impression of The Swan leaning or tilting is exaggerated by its tapering form. In contrast to its adjacent neighbour the Swan’s facade is completely transparent executed in steel and glass. It is the architectural answer to an urban planning request by the municipality of The Hague which asked for a second portal over the Utrechtse baan, in the form of a ‘leaning’ office building of steel and glass. The first portal is formed by the office complex Haagse Poort (Kraaijvanger Urbis, Rob Ligtvoet).

Tbwa Office Building / ZZDP Architecten

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The offices of TBWA are situated at the edge of the Schinkel area of Amsterdam. This former industrial estate has in a charming way retained its rough character. Well known Dutch architects like Hugh Maaskant, Mart Stam and Frank van Klingeren left their traces here. The design of TBWA refers to both their architectural language and the industrial genus loci.

House VdB / Grosfeld van der Velde Architecten

Nico Saieh — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Located in the outskirts of the city of Breda, on the edge of the urban and rural zone, this house is provided with great views. The clients preferred a maximum volume on this plot and asked the Dutch architects Grosfeld van der Velde to turn this desire into reality.

House S / Grosfeld van der Velde Architecten

Nico Saieh — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The house is located on the edge of the Asterdplas in Breda’s Haagse Beemden district. The living area is raised above the surrounding land, so that the view on the natural environment is optimal. Further solidifying the home’s connection to nature, large floor-to-ceiling windows frame the view, while giving the house a light and transparent character.

House Vvg / Grosfeld van der Velde Architecten

Nico Saieh — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The house is situated on the edge of Vianen, a city in the centre of Holland. The view on the southwest side is magnificent and will remain unbuilt. The beautiful view is that of a typical Dutch landscape of open fields with lines of trees.
