The Dogs of Dwell

"The only way we can live in 400 square feet is because we thought out each detail and tried to make every space usable when we were designing the renovation," says Tolya and Stonorov who resides in this former barn with her husband, Otto, and son, Niko. Those details include a custom dog door for their Blue Heeler, Oscar. See more of the renovated small-space home.

"There are some unconventional aspects to the house, but we’re also using it as an architecture studio, and a pavilion, and a warehouse. If we’re interested in something, we can bring it in and experiment with it. When we were working on an art installation, we had two 300-pound blocks of ice in a tub in the middle of the room. At one point there were 800 yards of fabric piled up. We have a dog, and when we had all that fabric lying around, he loved it, he was like “Oh my god, it’s furniture.” And then it was gone."—Jay Atherton, resident of this Phoenix, Arizona, house.
