In Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh-based architectural firm\u00a007Beach<\/a>\u00a0was asked to renovate a home for a dog-owning client. Thinking of the canines, 07Beach\u00a0built a separate staircase for dogs<\/a>\u00a0into the plans, complete with doggy balustrade, smaller steps, and a shallower incline, perfect for a pooch’s shorter legs.<\/p>\n

The short riser height and shallow incline translates to a much longer stairway, which winds around the living room wall like a work of art. The minimalist stair is painted all white to match the existing stairway and the interior\u2019s minimalist aesthetic.\u00a0The client was a personal friend of\u00a0Joe Chikamori<\/a>, the principal architect at 07Beach. In a note to the client Chikamori wrote: \u201cI designed this so that your house could represent your affection for your wife and your two dogs, with the idea that this house will be like a gift to your family.\u201d Adding the doggy staircase to the renovation took 17 more days to design and an additional 26 days for construction.<\/p>\n
