ARISTOPARENTS always want their pet to be as comfortable as possible at home; however, it is often difficult to find a bed or house that matches the home decor. A few weeks ago, we talked about houses for ARISTODOGS designed by architects; today, it's the felines' turn. THE ARISTOCATS are adorable as they are; imagine giving them a lavish house - it would be the perfect territory for their long naps.
Architects for Animals invited local designers to build houses to be auctioned, and the money raised benefited 3 million stray cats through the Fix Nation organization.
Earth calling the moon
The ‘Know How Shop’ brand created the house called ‘Lunar Cat Lander’. The goal was to test the effects of low-gravity environments on the activities THE ARISTOCATS enjoy: napping, eating, rolling around, and lying down without doing absolutely anything. It is hypothesized that other planets and moons in space could sustain feline life if they have the right balance of warm sunlight, strings, slow moths, and small fragile, eye-catching objects.
Fishbowl for THE ARISTOCATS
Taking fishbowls shaped like a bowl as inspiration, Abramson Teiger created the 'Cat Bowl'. The structure has slats spaced apart so the cat can observe what is happening outside while remaining hidden in its unique house. It has multiple entrances so the pet can go in in several ways.
A very fun maze
The firm Lehrer Architects drew inspiration from the ascending linear procession elements. Based on this, it created ‘conCATenate”; ARISTOCATS like to climb, rest, and curl up, so they took simple angles and joined them together to create a space where the pet can have fun and rest in the same object.
Strings are our cats' weakness
It is no secret that ARISTOCATS are drawn to strings or anything resembling them. RNL was inspired by this insight and created a house where the little furry ones can climb and play endlessly. It also has a floor that simulates grass, giving them the feeling of being outdoors without leaving their comfort zone.
A very responsible option
Cat – à – Tête is a house designed by Buro Happold, made from recycled plastic bottles. The material has been compressed in such a way that it is very soft to the touch. Its name comes from its shape, which is inspired by the French expression tête-à-tête. The structure has several entrances and offers areas inside for resting, playing, and observing.
Did you like the structures? We hope so, and we trust that a similar initiative will soon take place in Spain.
