Homes Designed for Living with Cats｜Introduction to Architecture Firms｜A Home Designed to Support a Cat's Free‑Spirited Life

Design strategies that harness feline behavior—such as catwalks, wall‑mounted shelving, and cat‑sized openings and passageways that permit free movement—introduce playfulness and spatial richness to a dwelling.

Here we introduce architectural practices that carefully design residences for living with cats from an architectural perspective.
