In Kamakura, Japan, a talented couple from Tan Yamanouchi Architects has designed their own distinctive dwelling that seamlessly integrates space-saving architectural elements with feline-friendly features. Aptly named the “Cat Tree House,” this residence and studio were meticulously constructed for the architect couple, both in their thirties, who share their abode with two beloved cats.
The house’s overarching structure comprises two L-shaped sections, each adorned with slanted tin roofs featuring opposing angles. Through the clever interlocking of these two volumes, the architects have fashioned a one-of-a-kind design that effortlessly harmonizes with Kamakura’s picturesque mountainous backdrop.
