Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

A Hotel For Dogs

Malaysia

Situated in a 4-acre plantation in Malaysia and surrounded by jungle, lays 6 concrete bunkers designed for dogs.


Located some 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, the Negeri Sembilan based pet hotel allows owners to board their dogs when they have to be away.

The form of the actual doghouse is inspired by classic graphical representations of doghouses. The houses and perimeter walls are made of concrete and stone so that the walls can weather naturally in a jungle setting.

The houses themselves are made out of concrete and feature steel doors and openable steel platforms, which form balconies for dogs to lie about in the day.

The doghouses are naturally lit and ventilated with ceiling fans and perforated doors that made out of mosquitoes netting.

Designed by WHBC Architects, the houses have been built with a natural aesthetic, focusing around trees, boulders and contour of the land.

Ultimately though, it’s the care of the owners, dog lovers themselves, that shape this project and define its charm.
