One woman and seven cats live in this house. Previously, the flow line inside the house of both human and cats were very crowded. Therefore,I have renovated this house to which both of them can coexist in harmony. I have brought in some ideas to bring out the cat's cute typical behavior and habits. One of the tricks I used is to set the "antique frames" at the ceiling so that when cats look through this frame, their facial expression would look like one picture that would be left in our mind as a good "Memory". I also tried to create the house with the moderate distance but also with the close emotional distance between cats and humans. There are many stray cats outside this house while inside, there are many house cats. Are stray cats happier? Or are the house cats happier? I think nobody knows. I believe that the stray cats have their own happy life style which house cats can never feel However, the house cats also have their own happy life style which the stray cats can never feel. I wanted to create a house which both types of cats can share their own life style that each of them have never felt before. The house, which the stray cats can feel the love from the human as house cats do and the house cats the freedom of walking around at their own pace. These ideas of design came from my feeling and desire to make the unrestricted distance between cats and humans. Additionally, I have used variety of materials that would entertain both cats and humans from visual, psychological and tactile aspects when moving from space to space. I tried to create this house to which the residents can achieve the "timeless" feeling throughout their everyday life and feel the "poetic space" or "poetic life". I think the most important fact when creating the residence is to thoroughly imagine the life of the residents (cats and humans). It's very important to think of the residence not only as a "container" but as a "space to live".
