Interior Design
Cat House
The Cat House residence was realised as a renovation project in Shanghai, China. Since the 31-square-metre studio flat is used by a couple and their 51 cats, the designers spent an entire day there to understand the couple’s special lifestyle needs. Tackling the requirements with regard to separation, functionality and open / closed environment, the interior design strategically focuses on the elements of light, ventilation and water. Finally, a “living water system” was created that serves as a drinking place for the cats, supports green irrigation and provides a modern, eco-friendly living environment.
