Capstone Project, Spring 2024

South Pespective

Cattitude Cafe offers a cozy haven where you can enjoy drinks and snacks while spending time with adorable cats. It's a heartwarming space where rescued cats find a temporary home and are available for adoption. Cat lovers and potential owners can unwind, bond with the cats, and maybe even find a new furry friend. The cafe also features a special foster room, ensuring every cat has a loving, safe environment.

Circles are found on cat stretching posture

Studied posture anatomy, and offset circles on skeleton structure.

Connect curves by using partial circles

Transfer to plan by using field theory. Using the distance between existing columns as the radius to create circles and offset them multiple times. Connect curves to create a curvilinear form

Incorporating curvilinear design elements into cat cafe environments aims to create a harmonious space for humans and feline companions. By embracing curves, the design enhances comfort and interconnectedness, benefiting both cats and visitors. The strategic placement of curved furniture and structures encourages natural movement and playfulness among the cats, promoting their well-being. Additionally, curved elements create inviting spaces for visitors, reducing stress and fostering tranquility. The use of field theory generates fluid connections between the curves, expressing dynamic cat postures and movements. By setting up curves with different radius, and utilizing existing distances between columns, the design seamlessly blends aesthetics with functionality, fostering positive interactions and enriching experiences for all.
