Alice Willimas, Creative Director at Hecate Verona, says that the development of these luxury dog mansions began three years ago, and was sparked by a series of questions, like “Why wouldn’t a dog house be as elegant and beautiful as its owner’s? Why shouldn’t an architect design a house for the dog? What if it could be beautiful, stylish and also practical? What if it had miniature engravings, windows, doors etc all in proportion with the dog house? Why is it that during a time when a dog is considered to be a family member can’t a dog also have its own dog mansion equal to its owner’s, where he can lie comfortably when outdoors? "
Alice Williams, creative director of Hectaverona, said that when they started making this dog mansion three years ago, they were inspired by the following questions: "Why can’t a dog house be as elegant and charming as the owner’s house?" Why don’t architects design houses for dogs? " "What if the kennel can also be beautiful, fashionable and very practical? What would happen if the dog house had mini carved buildings, doors and windows? Dogs are regarded as family members, but they can’t live in a house with the same good conditions as their owners and lie comfortably in the dog house in the yard. Why? "
“Our objective was to create a majestic and royal looking dog manor which seeks to complement the garden and its surrounding in which it stands, ” Willimas added, and judging by the photos Hecate Verona released before the official launch, that objective has been fulfilled.
Williams said: "Our goal is to build a magnificent and noble dog farm with gardens and surrounding scenery." Judging from the photos before the official launch of the product, they have already done it.

During the development stage, Hecate Verona ran several tests on different breeds, and consulted experienced veterinarians in order to create the perfect living space for dogs. “As a result, the living space has been divided into a bedroom and living room, with the latter giving a good panoramic overview of the surroundings, ” Luxuo reports. “Windows have been lowered accordingly to the dog’s height which gives the dog a clear view of the surroundings and its territory.”
In the production stage, in order to design a perfect living space for dogs,Hecteverona tested different breeds of dogs and consulted experienced veterinarians. "We divided the living space of the dog house into bedrooms and activity rooms, which can have a panoramic view of the courtyard. We adjusted the height of the window according to the height of the dog, so they can clearly see their garden and territory. "

“Our customers and their dogs typically live indoors so we see our dog manor as an extra that gives a pet more comfort – it is dog’s own house that has all the comforts of an indoor living room, making the whole experience of staying outdoors more fun and enjoyable, ” Alice Willimas said. “This leads to the dog enjoying the outdoors even more and staying more active and that is highly recommended by veterinarians.”
Williams said: "Our customers usually let their pets live indoors, so we use the dog farm as a supplement to make their pets live more comfortably-this dog house is as comfortable as the indoor dog activity room.Therefore, dogs can enjoy more fun outdoors. In this way, they will like outdoor activities more and stay energetic, which is also strongly recommended by veterinarians. "
The design and manufacturing of these exquisite dog mansions is led by a team of craftsmen with experience in yacht building, with the utmost attention to detail. The company also invites customers to work with the designers in order to implement their own ideas for the house they wish to purchase for their pet.
