Barc by Foster + Partners
'Barc' is a flat pack plywood kennel that is designed to meet the needs of the flexible, modern workplace. The lightweight kennel is made up of a few simple components, which can be easily put together, taken apart and stored efficiently. Beyond the office, Barc can also be installed in the home or garden, creating a familiar space for canine companions, at their owner's side.
A refined palette of materials is used to maximum effect. Foster + Partners has worked closely with Isokon, a company that is known for its expertise in plywood manufacturing, to develop the high-performance structural shell. A single piece of extremely thin plywood is held in tension by two opposing timber dowels, to create the kennel's striking arched roof. A fabric sling is stretched across the dowels to create a comfortable, elevated dog bed. The sparing use of material and detail is rooted in the idea of sustainability – to do more with less.
