17. The Mid-Century Modern Ranch

Bring retro flair to your backyard with a mid-century modern ranch dog house. This design features a signature asymmetrical butterfly roofline, clerestory windows that let in high-angle winter sunlight, and a wide, low profile. Constructed from warm teak or walnut-stained wood, the house is fully insulated from floor to ceiling. The wide roof overhangs protect the entrance from driving sleet and snow, while the stylish design ensures your backyard remains a showcase of mid-century architectural elegance throughout the winter months.
