The world's most luxurious dog kennel to be built at cost of £250,000

A dog lover has turned half of her £1.4 million home into a luxury "kennel" for her Great Danes - complete with their own plasma screen TV, lounge and spa.

The surgeon, who wants to remain anonymous, told her architect the hi-tech bungalow on the Lower Mill Estate in Gloucestershire must include separate deluxe living quarters for her two pets.



Sheepskin-lined, raised beds will allow the dogs to keep guard out of the windows, while in the lounge they can listen to a £15,000 sound system or enjoy shows on a 52in plasma screen TV. A retina-controlled "dogflap" system allows them to come and go from the zinc, glass and limestone home with ease, keeping out undesirables.

A temperature-regulated Dogspa (with saline purification system) will ease their muscles and clean their coats after a hard day. Cameras all around the property will allow the owner to watch her dogs online, wherever they roam.


Graphic from here.

The Dog House is divided into two bedrooms, and living room, all with the heat controlled remotely via the internet. It also has its own adventure play area. Self-cleaning food and purified water bowls dispense top-of-the-range dinners and breakfasts automatically.

Designed by architect Andy Ramus, the work is expected to begin on the main three-bedroom house near Cirencester in spring.
