catHAUS | los angeles, ca
The catHAUS is envisioned as a domestic retreat for an undomesticated species. Playing off of the iconographic conventions of the familiar gable roof, the catHAUS operates at the scale of both shelter and furniture - manipulating both into a feral landscape. While the exterior is abstract and neutral in its materiality, the plush interior is finished in synthetic turf and vertical supports wrapped in sisal rope.
