About Future Deja Vu 주거 인테리어 디자인

퓨처 데자뷔(Future Deja Vu)는 젊은 부부와 네 마리의 고양이가 함께 생활하는 단층 주택을 위한 주거 인테리어 디자인이다. 평면 계획은 사람과 고양이의 동선을 나란히 배치하여 서로 분리되면서도 연결되도록 구성했다. 개방형 공용 공간에서는 TV장과 복도 수납장이 고양이만을 위한 전용 통로와 휴식 공간을 형성한다. 들여다볼 수 있는 창과 도어 패널은 고양이의 사생활을 존중하면서도 보살핌과 관찰이 가능하도록 한다. 침실 하나는 서재 겸 드레스룸으로 개조하되 고양이를 위한 통로를 남겨두었다. 라이트 그레이, 화이트, 로즈 핑크의 색조와 유려한 곡선이 공간의 흐름을 이끈다.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The design implants two separate but intersecting cosmic views in a single-story residence for a young couple and their four cats. By combining the design with peepholes and door panels, balance can be achieved between the function of the owners’ care and observation and respect of the cats’ privacy. The cats also enjoy their exclusive passageways that traverse between public and private areas in the house.
Dimensions & Packaging: Using pure color tones like light gray and white to form a comfortable base, combined with a sweet rosy pink, the design creates a lively visual impression. The flowing arcs run between the cabinets, blending like liquids into the daily lives of the residents. In the bright and open homy area, three-dimensional tunnels and a cat house support the cats’ needs of traversing, walking, perching, and playing. Through the peepholes, the surprise and fun of exploration is provided. Moreover, the designer utilizes the plasticity of diatomite to leave cat footprints on the wall, giving the space even more of an emotional connection.

Production Technology: The public area adopts an open layout, but the four cats’ activities and habits are also taken into consideration, and their exclusive traffic flows and private areas are created by integrating the TV cabinet and corridor storage, thus creating a life intersection that’s both separate and linked. Soft and gentle curves stretch between different objects, forming a natural guidance for the flow of movements at the entrance. As one walks through the entrance, the slanted design of the ceiling also directs the line of sight to the outdoor landscape beyond the higher floors, while the height difference between the space and beams is also mitigated. In terms of the private area, one of the bedrooms is converted into a study and dressing room, adding more function to the space, while a passageway for cats is reserved, allowing the cats to move between the spaces freely.
Design Challenge: Humans and cats have very different needs, so the biggest challenge with the design is to bridge the gap and integrate privacy and independence with an open mindset. For example, the lifestyles of the pets need to be incorporated into the spatial design, while appropriate storage distribution must also be achieved. Moreover, different usage scenarios or situations are addressed with the size of the openings, hidden angles, and flexible panels.
Research: Using both the perspective of cats and humans, this design creates two axes of life that are separate yet shared. In the open public area, independent traffic flows and a resting area for cats are created with the arrangement of the TV cabinet and corridor storage. Functional parts of the space are integrated with flowing curves, and the slanted ceiling design also helps to form a natural guidance of traffic flows and lines of sight while mitigating the height difference between the structures. To address the needs of the residents, one of the bedrooms is converted into a study and dressing room, mixed in with exclusive passageways for cats, allowing the cats to explore and traverse freely.
Inspiration: In response to a family dynamic that involves multiple cats, in addition to the functions and styles required by human residents, the design also incorporates features that are derived from a feline perspective that embodies the spirit of pet-friendliness.As the cats jump around, move about, and interact with one another, the space is also enriched with a vibrant, interesting dynamic.
Project Duration: The project started in July and finished in Sep. 2022 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Breaking away from conventional designs for pets in a home, which are often unconnected and enclosed, this design allows the daily lives of cats to become the heart and soul of the space. By implementing an independent traffic flow for cats and a resting area, and setting up an open, shared living space, this design achieves pet-friendliness and empowerment, giving the cats full freedom of use, and respecting their habits and privacy.
