About The Entry
This project transforms a compact 82.64 m² (25-ping) residence, converting a traditional three-bedroom layout into a one-bedroom, three-living-area home tailored for a couple and their two cats. The design merges the aesthetics of intentional space with the concept of human-feline coexistence.
The core innovation is the vertical cat pathway system, which weaves through walls and ceilings, establishing three-dimensional circulation that choreographs a seamless flow of interaction between owners and pets. The reconfigured layout incorporates a flexible study, a yoga/meditation corner, and a streamlined kitchen, all defined by transparent interfaces to maximize openness and efficiency.
The aesthetic blends Japanese warmth with Scandinavian Minimalism, highlighted by the sculptural ceiling structure and the accent colors of the vanity area, featuring arched doorways in brick red and forest green. This approach reinterprets the compact home's living dynamics, achieving a fluid and harmonious lifestyle beyond conventional limitations.
