You wouldn't mind being in the doghouse if it looked like this.
“This is one of the coolest dog houses that I’ve ever seen!”
These were the words of Bryce Langston, presenter and producer of Living Big in a Tiny House, when he saw the black-and-white dog house a couple built to match their own house.

The “tiny tiny house” even has stained glass windows, which Bryce said made it luxurious, and a living roof.
The property was built in Auckland, New Zealand by couple Ziski and Ryan, who took Bryce on a tour for a 20-minute episode on his YouTube channel Living Big in a Tiny House, which has more than four million subscribers.
The couple have two beautiful dogs who live in the dog house, as seen on Team Dogs. Ziski and Ryan, who are both vegan and try to grow some of their own food, have banned the dogs from their garden.
Ryan said: “The dogs also really enjoy gardening. Oliver decided to pull up the potatoes earlier than they were ready so we had a handful of mash and we learned we need to do our gardening in a separate space.”
Ziski told Bryce about the dog house. She said: “It’s got a living roof, which we would’ve loved to have on this house but it was a little bit hard to move so this was the next best thing, and it’s also really good insulation for them.
“It’s got windows and it’s big enough for us and the dogs to go and chill out in, which is really nice. [The windows] are from a demo yard and the cladding on the outside is the offcuts of our house.”
Bryce heard that the couple built the tiny house themselves but the only project they’d done before was a raised planter for the garden, so they lent on the tiny house community and some close friends with building experience.
Their house measures 9m long, 3.1m wide and 4.1m tall from the ground.
