Pet Project by MLA

A Minimalist and Contemporary Pet House

The Pet Project by MLA is a unique and stylish pet house designed by Marie Laurent Wilfred. Inspired by the concept of a house, this pet project offers comfort, protection, and a personalized touch for your furry friends.

The Pet Project by MLA stands out from other pet houses with its minimalist and contemporary design. It retains the skeleton and roof of a house, creating a village-like structure with different dimensions and colors. This design choice not only provides a visually appealing aesthetic but also allows for customization to match your home's style.

The pet house is made with a natural oak structure, giving it a sturdy and durable foundation. What sets it apart is the inclusion of rubber wheels, making it easy to move around. Whether you want your pet close to you or in their favorite spot, this pet house can be effortlessly relocated. The wheels can be locked in place once you find the perfect spot.

With three available modules for cats, dogs, or other pets, the medium-sized option is the most popular. It has dimensions of 45 x 60 cm and a ceiling height of 55 cm, providing ample space for your pet to relax and feel at home.

The Pet Project by MLA is designed to offer your pets their own shelter and space while still being close to you. Its mobility allows you to place it wherever you and your pet prefer. The option to choose different roof colors adds a touch of individuality and allows the pet house to either stand out or blend seamlessly with your main residence.

The development of the Pet Project by MLA began in August 2014 in Dubai, and the first prototype was tested by the designer's mascots, John and Fledermaus, in September 2014. Since then, they have made the pet house their cozy abode.

Marie Laurent Wilfred, the designer behind the Pet Project by MLA, recognized the need for a well-designed pet house that matches the quality and style of residential villas and penthouses. The pet house is often overlooked in interior design, but Wilfred aimed to change that by creating a contemporary, open space with apparent structures and bright colors for individuality. The custom-made sizes ensure a perfect fit for any pet, regardless of their shape or size.

One of the challenges faced during the design process was creating a comfortable area for pets that provided a sense of protection while still maintaining proximity to their owners. With their own carpentry factory in Dubai, the design team was able to overcome this challenge by crafting bespoke furniture for specific projects. The success of the Pet Project by MLA lies in its ability to please both pets and their owners.

The Pet Project by MLA is a testament to the designer's attention to detail and commitment to creating a comfortable and stylish space for pets. Its minimalist design, apparent structures, and customizable features make it a standout choice for pet owners who value both aesthetics and functionality.
