Last night we headed to the American Institute of Architects for the 2nd annual Architects for Animals as 16 DC architecture and design firms competed in a friendly cat house competition. Guests voted on their favorite, based on its look and functionality. We snapped WHS' Stephanie DeMoss, Charlotte Fox and Danielle Bays.
Some of the clever designs were the Kitty Cat Condo, Cat's Got Your Stump, a house in a tree bark, and the winner, The MeowHaus, which had a catnip, grassy rooftop. Here, Boeing's Ada Loo, Lee and Dina's Dina Paxenos, and Far and Away Cycling's Chantal Briere.
325 animal lovers attended to show their support and raise awareness for homeless cats in DC. Here, Martinez & Johnson Architecture's Julie Hernandez, PGAL's Rich Layman and Christina Caballero, and Saylor Co's Mary Saylor.
All proceeds went to the Washington Humane Society's Cat Neighborhood Partnership Program (CatNiPP). Here, Engaging Interiors Anna Cone, RIA's Uma Thakur and Medics USA's Brian Africa.
