A dog bed is an essential design element in the renovation of this house. Canadian architecture firm StudioAC design approach to the Sheridan Residence in Toronto involves using plywood as the main material for its scandi-chic aesthetic and functional appeal. The smooth surface of plywood is easy to clean for a dog-friendly space. “Rather than imagine a home comprised of rooms within an open plan we conceived a room revolving around a singular mass,” said StudioAC. The ‘mass’ presents the aesthetic grounding for the project while also containing all of its support functions in a clean plywood wrapper.
