为了开始这个项目，设计师们与客户和他们的猫一起生活了一整天。独特的体验使设计师能够理解客户的生活方式需求，以及在与这么多猫共享一个小区域时所关注的领域。通过经验，设计师们发现这个房间缺少单独的区域。这对夫妇的生活空间完全被猫占据，给主人带来了不适。

To begin the project, the designers lived with the clients and their cats in the space for an entire day. The unique experience allowed the designers to understand the client's lifestyle needs and areas of concern in sharing a small area with so many cats. Through the experience, the designers identified that the room lacked separate areas. The couple's living space was completely occupied by cats, causing discomfort for the owner.

这个问题的严重程度意味着，在厨房用具上发现猫毛，晚上和十几只猫一起睡觉是很常见的。业主没有一个单独放松的地方，客人不能坐下来享受谈话或长时间停留。第二，为了防止猫逃跑，窗户一直关着，这意味着房间没有足够的通风。此外，由于该地点位于一楼，白天阳光不能进入房间。这个封闭、紧密相连的地区给生活在其中的人和猫造成了一个不健康的环境。

The extent of the problem meant that it was common to find cat hair on kitchen utensils, and to sleep with more than a dozen cats at night. The owner did not have a place to relax alone and guests could not sit and enjoy conversation or stay for long periods. Secondly, in order to keep the cats from escaping, the windows were constantly shut, meaning the room did not have adequate ventilation. Additionally, as the place was located on the first floor of the building, sunlight could not be enter the room during the day. The closed-off, tightly-knit area resulted in an unhealthy environment for the people and cats living in it.

FANAF通过三部分策略实现其愿景：分离、功能和开放/封闭环境。“分离”指的是把主人的卧室和猫的客厅；厨房和餐厅以及猫的游乐区；以及人的浴室和猫的浴室分开。‘功能性’：主人想要一个空间来享受他对茶的热爱，所以设计师们建立了一个小茶区来招待客人和娱乐。房间也被改造成多功能，具有“开放/关闭”的环境。安装了可移动的墙壁和门，允许猫自由移动，并在需要时允许更多的隐私。

FANAF executed its vision with a three part strategy: separation, functionality and open/closed environments. 'Separation' refers to dividing the space between the master bedroom and the cats' living quarters; the kitchen and dining room and the cats' play area; and the human bathroom and cat bathroom. 'Functionality': The owner wanted a space to indulge in his love of tea, so the designers established a small tea area for hosting guests and entertaining. The rooms were also transformed to become multi-functional, with 'Open/Close' environments. Moveable walls and doors were installed to let the cats to move freely and allow more privacy when required.

为了使空间可持续发展，FANAF将重点放在三个方面：光、通风和水。庭院的部分被修复，以邀请露天，时尚的屋顶灯被安装，以直接自然的阳光。这成了猫的主要活动区域。在主入口和厨房建造了新的门，改善了通风。它们现在的功能就像百叶窗一样-打开足够让空气进入，但不让猫逃跑。

To make the space sustainable, FANAF focused on three elements: light, ventilation and water. Parts of the courtyard were restored to invite the open air and stylish roof lights were installed to direct natural sunlight. This became the cats' main area of activity. Ventilation was improved with the construction of new doors in the main entrance and kitchen. They now have functions to become like blinds – opening enough to let air in, but not letting the cats escape.

最后，安装了一个高效的可循环利用的水泵系统，一个充满鹅卵石的水流流过主庭院，让猫很容易地喝水。圆形通道还能帮助中心的树吸收水分，然后水就会流出来，产生氧气。这样，生活用水系统支持绿色灌溉，并提供一个现代化的，生态友好的生活环境。FANAF推出了一个新的地方，现在感觉舒适，透气和吸引所有居住在这个空间的人。

Finally, a water-efficient recyclable pump system was installed, with a pebble-filled stream of water running through the main courtyard, allowing the cats to drink water easily. The circular channel also helps the tree in its centre to absorb water, which will then transpire and create oxygen. In this way, the living water system supports green irrigation and provides a modern, eco-friendly living environment. FANAF debuted a new place that now feels cosy, breathable and inviting for all those inhabiting the space.
