I’ve written about Sustainable Pet Design often. Sustainable Pet Design makes green roof dog and bird homes that are absolutely gorgeous. I love this company because of their innovative design savvy, their eco-friendly materials, and why go boring when you can have a totally awesome pet home?
It’s time for an update though because Sustainable Pet Design has some new killer styles available, including one home made just for the first family. Sustainable Pet Design created The Obama Dog Home. Summa Canum (Latin for “Top Dog”), “Not only to provide an appropriately sustainable and stylish home for the new leader of the free canine world, but to introduce eco-friendly practices and materials to the American people.”
Here are some stats:
The First Greenrrroof Dog Home is constructed from the wood of Tennessee Aromatic Cedar trees that our 7th President, Andrew Jackson, planted along the driveway of his estate, The Hermitage. After a tornado felled these trees in 1998, EarthSource Forest Products reclaimed the wood for lumber and has donated the last of it to Summa Canum.
Architectural Coatings and Design Center provided the zero-VOC paint and varnish that will ensure that the First Dog will not become ill from toxic fumes.
Emory Knoll Farms, a Maryland nursery specializing in green roof plants, is supplying vegetation. The dog home will arrive at The White House unplanted in order to provide the Obama kids with the opportunity to get their hands dirty in their own little garden.
Very cool. In other news, Sustainable Pet Design has a great new couture collection of pet homes. These homes, like all their homes are made with sustainable materials and a cool green roof. The difference is in the design aspect.
I love the Andrew Jackson Plantation which is constructed using Tennessee aromatic cedar, milled from 200-year-old trees that were felled during a tornado on Andrew Jackson’s estate. There’s a sweet graffiti print on the home, but it’s up to you if you’d like a less radical paint job. This is a limited edition item, so if you love it, I’d contact Sustainable Pet Design stat.
Another terrific new design is the 15° Wright, commissioned by architect Eric Lloyd Wright (Frank’s grandson) to be displayed with one of his prefab human homes at the Green West Expo. This is a beautiful modern dog home with all angles at 15°. Nice!
