SUMMARY
The positioning of the kennels(a pet-friendly hotel with dogs) came from the owner Yin Ma's impromptu idea at the beginning of the project. The positioning of a triangle of land at the southernmost tip of Aranya as a pet hotel happened after a phone conversation between the owner and the architect, which is of course related to the fact that the lead architect himself has dogs. In addition to the human factor, the concept also takes into account the behavior of dogs, such as the fact that unfamiliar dogs will fight when they meet, tend to urinate, and bark and lose their hair.
