There is no denying Australians’ love of man’s best friend, and increasingly they are being thoughtfully included in the design of some of the biggest and best apartment towers in the country.

From grooming stations, pet-walking services, podium-based dog parks and dog-wash facilities, developers have embraced “barkitecture” for a more inclusive vertical home experience. 

Almost two-thirds of Australian households have a pet—40 per cent of those are dogs and apartment developers are on board for the four-legged revolution in high-density buildings.
