Animal-Supportive Architecture

The Haven Homes project seeks to create a collection of architectural concepts that make living with animals better, improving the health and happiness of pets and the people who care for them.

While developing these concepts, we adhere to a strict set of design principles, which we are sharing in the hopes that it sparks an idea for a new concept or an improvement to an existing one, or even a way the principles themselves could be improved.

Applying these principles has weeded out about 99% of the concepts we have considered so far. Here you can learn about the few that have made the cut so far and been put into production at Haven Homes properties.

NEW:

Animal-supportive architecture (ASA) moves beyond an anthropocentric (human-centered) view to embrace a more inclusive design philosophy that recognizes and values the place of animals within our built environment.

Also known as animal-centered design or animal-aided design, ASA represents a multifaceted approach to architectural and design practices that prioritizes the well-being and needs of animals alongside those of humans.
