The owner and his wife are young lawyers. They are both cat lovers. They each have a cat before they have children.. After giving birth to a pair of baby children three years ago, although the living space of the two fur babies was not limited, the original residence was not enough for four people and two cats, so they bought a new house. The owner hopes that in addition to creating space for the two children to run, jump and read, there is also a floor-to-ceiling cat cabinet for Mao children. The designer opened the bedroom originally close to the living room as a game room/multi-functional living room. When the children are older, the cubicles will be added to make it more flexible and an independent bedroom. The opening of this room is deliberately enlarged. The L-shaped corner sliding door is used. Once the door is opened, the game room is completely connected with the corridor and the living room. On the one hand, it reduces the accidents of children when running and colliding. On the other hand, parents working in the kitchen can pay attention to the safety of children nearby through the expanded vision. The hostess who likes cooking also attaches importance to the friendship and exchange between the family and the family, and accepts the open design of the designer's kitchen. When cooking, children's safety needs to be taken into account, and the transparent metal sliding door can be closed lightly to prevent children from entering the kitchen by mistake. When it is a western-style light food, you can put away the sliding door, open the kitchen completely, and enjoy the parent-child hand-made ingredients with the children on the personal island tailored for the family. The open restaurant is designed on the moving line leading to the bedroom and becomes a view of the walking room.
