The multi-story structure is designed to exist within the interior of a home. The "ground floor" contains the bathroom, fit with a litter box for the cat, and every other level holds its own purpose. The second floor is a garden lounge; the third is the living room; and the top level is a soft sleeping space.</p> <p><br></p>
