原来的第二层和第三层是一个简单的空间，真的是粗糙的墙，这对猫来说不是很好的生活空间。

The original second and third floor is a simple space with really rough wall which is not a nice living space for cats.

在设计过程中，四个梯子被添加到空间，为猫从二楼爬到三楼提供了一种新的方式。在后一个过程中，一个供喂食的梯子被取消，以防空间太满。在墙上，许多猫的房子和梯子被安置在猫周围玩。原来的窗户也改成了猫屋的形状，装饰灯也是猫形的，以保持猫屋的整体形象。整个空间以欧洲灰材为主要材料。

During the design process, four ladders are added in to the space to provide a new way for cats to climb from the second floor to the third floor. In the later process, one of the ladders for feeding is cancelled in case the space is too full. On the wall, a lot of cat houses and ladders are settled for cats to play around. The original window is also changed to a cat house shape, the decoration lights are also cat shape in order to keep the overall image of cat houses. European ash wood is used as the main material inside the whole space.

房屋的形状也是在原来的墙面上使用的，这也是区别于街上其他商店的一种方式，以确保这只猫咖啡馆在没有橱窗的情况下能被人注意到。

Housing shape is also used on the original wall façade, it’s also a way to distinguish from the other shops on the street to make sure that this cat café could be noticed though it does not have a show window.

原来陡峭的楼梯也重新设计，以确保它是安全的所有客户。在入口处提供洗手液和触发器，以确保进入空间前所有细菌都被杀死，以保护所有的小猫。墙纸是为顾客自拍而设计的。

The original steep staircase is also redesigned to make sure that it’s safe for all the customers. Hand sanitizer and flip flop are served at the entrance to ensure that all the bacterial is killed before entering the space to protect all the kitties. Wall paper are designed for customers to take selfies.

三楼的洞成为猫最喜欢的空间。猫总是喜欢在这三个洞周围玩耍。爬梯子的猫也会成为一个有趣的场景。

The hole on the third floor become the most favorite space for the cats. Cats always love to play around these three holes. Cats climbing the ladders also become an interesting scene in the café.

毫无疑问，顾客的楼梯成了猫的游乐场。墙壁上的灯光是猫屋形状的，而且原来的正方形窗户也变成了房子的形状，营造了和谐的气氛。

The staircase for customers become a playground for cats without doubt. Lighting on the wall are cat house shaped and also the original square window is changed to the house shape to create a harmony atmosphere.

三楼固定休息区设计，为客户提供更舒适的区域。同时，在休息座位之间的圆孔设计，以确保猫可以跳过去。因为连接梯子在三楼的地面上形成了三个大洞，这可能会使顾客的生命受到威胁。因此，我们设计了悬挂在空中的猫屋，以提醒顾客在下面有一些东西，并保护他们不要踏进洞里。

Fixed resting area on the third floor is designed in order to provide a more comfortable area for customers. At the same time, round holes between the resting seats are designed to ensure that cats can jump through. Because the connection ladders create three large holes on the ground of third floor which might put customers lives at risk. So we designed hanging cat houses in the air to remind customers there is something below and also to protect them from stepping into the hole.

猫屋和梯子是相连的，这样猫就可以自己发现和玩耍了。对于猫来说，梯子和房子的影子也是一个特殊的地方。

Houseshaped cat housing and ladders are connected so that cats could discover and play by themselves. The shadow of the ladders and houses are also a special place for cats.

这个设计从猫开始，为猫提供一个舒适的游乐场。猫是空间的主人，人们成为过客。三个巨大的梯子是为猫设计的爬到三楼，然后突然在顾客面前展示给他们看。猫屋为小猫提供了一个安全的栖身之地，梯子是它们爬和跳的地方。顾客可以享受与猫在地板上的时间。当你在这间猫咖啡馆里呆上一段时间后，这一天就会亮起来。

This design started from the cats, to provide a comfortable playground for cats. Cats are the owners of the space, and people become passers. Three huge ladders are designed for cats to climb to the third floor and suddenly show them in front of the customers. Cat houses provide kitties a safe place to stay and ladders are for them to climb and jump. Customers can enjoy the time with cats on the floor. The day would be light up after you spend some time in this cat café.
