猫咪家具：为家中的猫科动物提供更舒适健康的环境
Cat Furniture: More Comfort and Health for Felines at Home

由专筑网Zia，小R编译

在建筑学中，最常见的是为人类做设计。然而，在最近的几个项目中也涵盖了为其他物种考虑的设计。从特定的家具到为动物规划的室内，为人类和动物创造更好玩更舒适的环境。

In architecture, the most common is to design for humans only. However, covering the scope of the project for other species is an exercise that has been proposed in several orders. From specific furniture to interior design planned for the animal, the possibilities of creating a more playful and comfortable ambience, both for humans and animals, are diverse.

以下几个项目就是从这个角度出发，为猫咪塑造运动空间，指引它们回到休息的地方，这样它们就不会触碰到其他有装饰元素的部分或打落其他东西，这些设计也是为了猫咪本身的安全。

There are several projects that start from this agenda and generate spaces for cats to exercise, find resting niches, so they don't access parts that have decorative elements and throw them on the floor, or even for the safety of the kitty itself.

在Studio92 Arquitetura设计的Apartamento Fradique项目中，当有人做饭时，厨房的通道不会让猫进入，因为曾经有一只宠物在炉子上发生了事故。因此，这种时刻它们无法进入厨房空间，但可以在客厅的爬架上获得自由。这个架子如同猫咪的“游乐场”，同时又不失去其原有的功能。在这里，猫咪虽然可以随意在壁龛和架子间穿梭，但它们无法进入有装饰物品的部分。另一个例子是Teresa Mascaro在Higienópolis公寓提出的方案，猫咪可以通过客厅胶合板架子的孔洞爬到最高层，而置物架本身环绕整个社交区域，作为装饰灯的背景。

At Apartamento Fradique, created by Studio92 Arquitetura, one of the main requirements was that access to the kitchen was closed to the cats while someone was cooking, as in the past, one of the pets had a minor accident on the stove. Therefore, here they lost access to this space, but gained prominence on the shelf in the living room, which was designed to be used as a “playground” by cats without losing its function. In it, the cats gain access to some niches and shelves, so that their movement is limited in a way they do not have access to the parts with decor objects. Thinking about shelves, another example is Teresa Mascaro's proposition made at Higienópolis Apartment, in which the marine plywood shelves in the living room, through holes, allow the cats to exercise and climb to the highest level, in reinforced concrete, which surrounds the entire social area and serves as a resource for indirect lighting.

在SuperLimão设计的米拉公寓中，有着一个服务于猫咪的设计策略。在这里，茶几成为了它们的吊床。在Loloite公寓，URBANODE arquitetura更进一步的将楼梯的护栏设计成了猫咪家具。

In a more modest action, but which still looks to the feline residents, a coffee table was designed to serve as a hammock for them at Mira Apartment, designed by SuperLimão. At Loloite Apartment, URBANODE arquitetura went a little further and designed a piece of furniture for the house's cats, which serves as a guardrail for the stairs.

在功能层面上，还利用房屋的现有空间将其转化为猫咪的家具，Adhoc Arquitectura y Territorio就在f(x)之家为猫咪创造了一个这样的空间，在橱柜中设计有孔洞和台阶的花园，以便猫咪可以玩耍，同时也隐蔽了洗衣房的设施。

In this more multifunctional sense, of taking advantage of an existing function of the house to transform it into furniture for cats, Adhoc Arquitectura y Territorio created a space for cats in f(x) House: a garden that materializes in rolling cupboards, with holes and steps designed so that the cats can play, at the same time serving as elements that hide the laundry room.

最后，在大规模的改造中，有两个案例，其中的公寓有着宠物专属环境，在Matú Arquitetura设计的Apartamento Arluzia项目中，客户从一开始就表达了对公寓“猫咪化”的兴趣，这给项目带来了特殊的视角，并在此基础上进行精心设计，以满足各种需求，无论是在功能上还是在审美上，通过为猫咪提供游乐场或通道，让猫咪能够自由玩耍。KC设计工作室通过细节的处理，在“猫咪的粉红色房子”中找到了家具和空间的概念转换，例如，将猫咪行走的楼梯与主人的办公桌相结合，以便主人可以在工作之余与小猫玩耍。

Finally, in more radical interventions, we have two examples in which the apartments have environments specifically designed for pets. In the case of Apartamento Arluzia, designed by Matú Arquitetura, the client expressed from the beginning the interest in "catifying" the apartment, which brought a specific perspective to the project and allowed the elaboration of a design that would meet everyone's needs, both in terms of function as well as aesthetics, through a shelf-playground for the cats or an underpass through the doors, in order to allow the animals to move. KC Design Studio, by means of details, found the transformation of the concept between spaces as furniture and furniture as space at Cat's Pink House, where, for example, the stairs on which the cats walk matches the owner’s office desk in order to work and play with the kittens at the same time.
