Imagine a designated space that is perfect for your favourite cup of Joe and your fur babies to have fun playing around. Thanks to the exclusive collaboration between Whisker N Paws and Cupping Room Coffee Roasters, all pet owners’ wildest dream has come true at Cups n Paws. The pet shop and cafe is a delighting playground that promotes sustainability, social responsibility, and connection all at once.
When Unite Unit was tasked with this design project, founders Rosetta Lau and Keikko Lee were determined to craft a neighbourhood pet cafe within the community. “The idea was to introduce a casual, inviting vibe that encourages interaction and a sense of belonging that captivates the heart of loyal customers,” the visionaries continue. “Inspired by the local idea of ‘furry creations coming from another planet’, we envisioned an otherworldly space that allows pets to bond, play and socialize on their own terms as if they are the owner of this area.” In fact, the entire design scheme is a playful take on the solar system with every inch of the space starting from the grooming area, the core of the venue.
Visual continuity and connection is successfully achieved by a delicate use of natural materials, organic shapes, urine and bacteria resistant vinyl flooring, as well as thoughtful details like round edges that avoid injuries and an illuminated tunnel for pets to enjoy Instagrammable moments after grooming. Setting itself apart from traditional pet shops is an exciting retail space boosted with dynamic product rotation and a multitude of functions, customers are attracted to explore and discover what’s in store in the future and shop digitally. Two designated corners for refill and recycle are also in place to strive for a sustainable future for pet owners and their beloved animals. Thanks to a flexible layout configuration, any adoption event can be easily arranged and hosted within the stress-free surroundings. We cannot wait to create unforgettable memories with you and your pets, see you soon!
