The concept of the home adroitly engages curved lines as its spatial core, with arches that mirror the outline of cat doors dictating the homely character. Minimalism articulates the form, marrying the round lines with play of light and shadow, sculpting space with precision. It appeals to the residents' spatial needs, crafting an environment where people and cats enjoy a fluid rhythm of life, a home without boundaries, encouraging seamless interaction.



Curves are utilized as the space's introduction at the entryway, a gridded, arch-shaped wall connecting to the dining area, guiding individuals inside. The curvature of the ceiling plays in concert with the cat doors, with horizontal beams defining the living room and study, subtly dissipating the bulk of the beams and injecting the space with gentleness. Strip lighting builds depth in the ceiling, invoking the imagery of sunlight filtering through the clouds. A curved half-wall between the living room and study expands the visual scope, bridging the distinct areas. The dressing room door embraces the cat door arch design, paired with dual-opening glass doors, instilling a romantic atmosphere. It emulates a cat entering its nook, satisfying the privacy needs with an elegant demeanor.



In line with the theme and maintaining visual coherence, all handles opt for a round design. Vertical wall space cleverly conceals the cat's essentials, with recesses crafted as dining areas, sleeping quarters, and litter box zones, preserving visual tidiness, with diverse curved apertures introducing whimsy to the wall.



In this sanctuary, both human and feline occupants find tranquility and belonging. The atmosphere, private yet unrestrained and gentle, caters to the physical and emotional wellbeing of dwellers.
