So, what happens when you get an open minded family and a recent architecture graduate who loves to design, build, and has too much time on his hands... you get more than you bargained for. What started off as the need for a couple of lovable house cats to have a place of their own without being bothered by the local canyon coyotes, ended up becoming a design challenge to build a "cat house" that was more than a simple box attached to a window. After a few discussions, some models, some carpentry work, some welding, and a few months time, the Vasquez Family got something that became an extension of their home, not just a house for their cats.
