Designed by Taiwanese interior design practice KC Design Studio as a vacation spot for the owner and her three cats, this three-story seaside home in Zhunan, northwestern Taiwan is a playful, pink oasis with maximum comfort for people and cats. Pink glass partitions and a collection of manga and cartoon inspired characters and artwork make this home truly unique and special.
On the lower level, an open plan living and entertaining area is notionally divided into a sitting, dining and kitchen area by a breakfast bar and dining table aligned with a two piece kitchen island. The master bedroom and cat playroom are divided by a glass partition, allowing the owner to watch the cats playing or sleeping from the bed (and vice versa) and allowing natural light into the bedroom from the playroom’s large windows. The designers creatively outfitted the Reign of Cats with a number of playful features, like a carousel-like rotating metal spiral staircase hanging from the ceiling, a fluffy swing, and steps and ledges throughout the room, including one that converts into a desk. A walk-in closet in the bedroom is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling rose-colored glass, while the pink-and-white-tiled bathroom is separated from the playroom by a terrazzo and rose-colored glass divider that can be dimmed for privacy.
Owner’s figurines feature famous comic book characters, from Bugs Bunny and Sponge Bob to KWAS’ Companions, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and Hello Kitty, prominently displayed in arched niches behind the dining table and on special entrance podiums.
