Hi all, just thought you would like to see this as it might give you some ideas for constructing your own. First, I have to thank the good folk down at Hobbycraft (a shop here in the UK) for their time and generosity in giving me a number of sturdy double walled boxes for free. After folding them back up i cut the arches you see on the front and between the boxes on each floor, conjoining the two rooms and sellotaped them together (only the exterior so she wont chew the tape). After stacking the floors she went right in and immediately went into excitable puppy mode, dashing, binkying, chewing, and running rings around me (very rare for her to do)! I built it like this as i like the stepped roof which provides various levels to explore, to access the top floor she must accurately jump up and through the arch, the multiple odd shaped rooms make for an interesting house and the build is pretty sturdy and can almost take the weight of a grown man!

I filled the left bottom floor room with newspaper for a digging box and the left upper with a towel floor for resting with bare hallways to the right upper and lower. The beauty of it is you can replace boxes as they become old and haggard while keeping the original structure standing indefinitely. The name was my home, which was very old and once had a crumbling name plaque with ‘Hampton Villa’ chiselled into it. Now it’s up to her to do her renovations and construction work
