This incredible modern cat house was created by Sarah Chou, a design student at the University of Alberta. The project was a collaboration with Jared Schmidts and found its inspiration in Moshe Safdie’s Habitat ’67. The finished piece was donated to the Edmonton Humane Society for a fundraiser. I do hope Sarah tries her hand at more modern cat design!
Reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright…for cats
Great piece! Pare it down to the two center cubes (the while cube and the birch one on top of that) and it would make a great doube-duty cat tree and end table in a living room! I need one of those! o0o0o, ideas… Really need to take that furniture-making class… =^)
Needs to climb higher!
I wouldn’t think my cats would be attracted to thes cat houses. My cats go for things that a soft and cozy with textures they can dig their claws into. Basically the opposite of Sarah Chou’s cat house designs.
I visited Habitat when it was brand new — at Montreal’s Expo ’67. What brilliant architectural innovation! I was stunned.
Now it’s fun to see it reinterpreted for our kitty friends. Congratulations to this next gen of architects.
I volunteer at a cat shelter and this would be wonderful. Are there plans available?
