客户是一个家庭，有一个母亲，两个孩子和两只猫。我们在一块被建筑物包围的小块内陆土地上创建了这个项目，让一个家庭和猫一起住在那里。这不是第一个人类加动物的家庭项目，但这是第一次有项目专注于猫咪。
The inhabitants are a family of a mother, two children and two cats. We created the project on a small landlocked plot of land surrounded by buildings for a family to live there with cats. This is not the first human-plus-animal home project, but it was the first time a project has focused on cats.
这里的条件与狗和鸟的生活环境完全不同，由于每个决定都直接关系到房间的构成，我们在着手设计的同时，还与客户协调了猫的生活习惯。所有与客户的讨论都是从观点出发，就像猫咪自己在说话一样。满足猫咪习惯的要求，如窗户的安装、中庭的使用以及猫咪最喜欢的位置，都是通过客户的观点来沟通的。当然，还有对客户的生活方式的要求。
The conditions are completely different from those in which dogs and birds live, and because each decision is directly related to the composition of the room, we set about designing while at the same time coordinating the habits of the cats with the client. All discussions with the client were conducted from the point of view, as if the cats themselves were speaking. Requests to cater to cats ‘habits, such as windows installation, using atriums, and cats’ favorite locations, were communicated through the client’s view. Of course, there were requirements for the client’s lifestyle.
换句话说，空间的构成是由三个要求决定的：城市的规模、人的要求和猫的要求，所有这些都需要相互结合。建筑的外部形状是由空间中的猫的场景创造的，旨在为场地提供最大的体积。建筑物的外部形状，由生活空间中的猫的场景创建，旨在为场地提供最大的体积。最大的矩形平面平行于物业北侧的水道，屋顶形状被前面道路的对角线切割，看起来像一个扭曲的表面。
In other words, the composition of the space was determined by three requirements: the scale of the city, human requirements and the requirements of the cats, and all of them needed to be combined with each other. The exterior shape of the building, created from the scene of cats in space, is designed to provide maximum volume for the site. The exterior shape of the building, created from the scene of cats in the living space, is designed to provide maximum volume for the site. The maximum rectangular plan is placed parallel to the waterway on the north side of the property, and the roof shape, cut by the diagonal line of the front road, looks like a twisted surface.
为了保证建筑面积，我们开始设计，从做三层的前提下进行。空间的构成很简单，第一层是湿区和功能空间。第二层是LDK（在日本住宅的缩写中，”LDK “是一种房间布局，其空间可作为客厅（L）、餐厅（D）和厨房（K））。第三层是卧室。
In order to secure the floor area, we started the design, proceeding from the premise of making three layers. The composition of the space is simple, the first layer is a wet area and a functional space. The second layer is a LDK (In Japanese housing abbreviations, “LDK” is a type of room layout with a space that serves as living room (L), dining room (D) and kitchen (K)). The third layer is a bedroom.
向客户询问猫咪最喜欢的地方以及生理特征，两只猫咪玩耍的地方，躲藏的地方，看外面的地方，厕所和其他喜好，很明显，他们的动作是非常多样化的，应该在空间的设置上打上印记。因此，我们试图通过将每只猫的行为和性格以场景的形式呈现出来，来满足猫的需求。例如，猫咪经常寻找靠窗的位置，走到窗帘后面，花时间看外面。它们还爬到架子上，有时像花瓶或玩偶一样坐在那里。当谈到猫的存在时，房间里应该总是有某些便利设施和开放的空间供人观看。猫的要求是作为一个场景来实现的，空间的构成和家具的安排也相应地得到了解决。
Asking the client about the place the cat likes the most and about the physiological features, the place where two cats play, the place where they hide, the place where they look outside, the toilet and other preferences, it became clear that their movement is very diverse and should be imprinted in the setting of space. So we tried to satisfy the needs of cats by presenting the behavior and character of each cat as a scene. For example, cats often look for a window seat, go behind the curtains, and spend time looking outside. They also climb onto shelves and sometimes sit there like a vase or a doll. When talking about the presence of a cat, there should always be certain amenities in the room and open space for visibility. The cats’ request was realized as a scene, and the composition of the space and the arrangement of furniture were accordingly solved.
由于科罗娜病毒的影响，追求人加东西（如动物）的生活方式的人，如这所房子，预计会增加。室内生活方式预计将通过纳入动物的需求来改变空间的形象。考虑到+a（包括植物、水生生物等，以及狗和猫）比以往任何时候都是家庭成员，增加满足这一方要求的空间数量，空间的质量变得前所未有的。我们希望，在不久的将来，一个新的生活空间文化将被打开。
The number of people pursuing a human-plus-something(like animal) lifestyle, such as this house, is expected to increase due to the influence of the Corona virus. Indoor lifestyles are expected to change the image of the space by incorporating the demands of animals. Considering +a (including plants, aquatic organisms, etc., as well as dogs and cats) as a family member more than ever, increasing the number of spaces that meet the requirements of this side, the quality of the space becomes unprecedented. We hope that a new culture of a living space will open up in the near future.
