Te Hoahoa

Mō Symbiosis Cat House Whare Noho

He whare noho a Symbiosis Cat House i hoahoatia mō tētahi wāhi tāone whāiti. Mā te whare papa tuawhā nei ka taea e te hunga mate pāwera me ngā ngeru te noho tahi. Mā tētahi rautaki wehewehe poutū ka wehea ngā wāhi kararehe i ngā wāhi tangata. Mā tētahi ātea pokapū ka whakahaerehia tētahi pānga tīhake hāngū e tango ana i ngā pūtake pāwera kāore he pūnaha miihini taumaha. He wae puhanga motuhake e mahi ana mō ngā wāhi paru ngeru. Mā te raima kore paninga, te pereki kanohi mārama, me ngā takahanga konganuku kōwhaowhao e whakaiti ana i te puehu me ngā tukunga matū. Ka piki ake tētahi pourewa ngeru i te taha o ngā arawhata, e hono tonu ai te whānau ā-tirohanga.

Āhuatanga Motuhake
This narrow row house utilizes a vertical zoning strategy to resolve the paradox of density and hygiene. Key features include a stepped setback profile to ensure future adaptability against high rise developments and a dual loop circulation system. The house functions as a metabolic organ, employing a central atrium to drive a stack effect that continuously purges allergens. This ensures that the living environment remains clear without reliance on heavy mechanical systems.
Inenga & Pēketanga
The building dimensions are Width 5100 mm by Depth 17050 mm by Height 9700 mm. It occupies a site area of 90 square meters with a total floor area of 250 square meters across four floors. Structural components include uncoated concrete, fair faced brickwork, and perforated metal panels. A central vertical atrium provides passive ventilation while localized exhaust systems manage air quality.

Hangarau Whakanao
The construction employs a low maintenance and hypoallergenic material strategy. Fair faced brickwork with calibrated porosity creates a breathing skin for natural air filtration. Uncoated concrete and perforated metal treads minimize the emission of chemical compounds and prevent the accumulation of dander. Aero acoustic zoning utilizes localized negative pressure at litter zones via dedicated mechanical exhaust to ensure high air quality in human zones.
Wero Hoahoa
The primary challenge was reconciling strict biological isolation with visual intimacy on a narrow site. The design had to anticipate future urban density while ensuring the interior remained breathable. Engineering a passive stack effect to isolate dander without extensive use of HVAC systems was the technical peak. The design balances private health requirements with public aesthetic value, proving that rigorous functional needs can yield a rhythmic living environment.
Rangahau
Applied Architectural Research. Objectives included the optimization of health for multiple species in high density settings. Methodology involved spatial mapping and airflow simulation using CFD modeling tools. Participants included a family with severe allergies and two felines. Results showed a ninety five percent reduction in the spread of allergens via vertical zoning. Insights confirm that health is a spatial mechanism. This creates a replicable and neuro inclusive model.
Whakaaweawe
The project originates from a critical conflict between respiratory health and the need for interspecies companionship in dense urban areas. The objective was to demonstrate that biological well being and domestic life can be integrated through spatial innovation. By scaling the internal volume to match the vertical requirements of felines, a nested system was created to protect the air quality for human inhabitants while ensuring freedom for animals.
Roanga o te Kaupapa
The project started in January 2022 in Douliu City Taiwan and finished in 2024 in the same location.
Rerenga Mahi
The house functions through a shared vertical journey. As family members walk up the stairs, cats climb up their own dedicated tower right beside them. Both paths rise in tandem around a central void to ensure constant visual and acoustic proximity. Key moments include watching companions move across the atrium or hearing them through light filters while the air remains fresh. This design succeeds by protecting the health of every inhabitant while keeping the emotional bond of the household intact.
