Pets are coming into people's families in nowadays. However, China is polarized between those who love pets and those who fear them. Pets are not allowed in indoor public places because complaints and warnings about pets have become a social problem,so we designed PAW HUB as a tiny community, where people and pets can coexist in harmony and warmth.PAW HUB is a mixed-use space that combines pet care\ social interaction\pet supply retail and cafe.At PAW HUB all the plants and materials are carefully selected to be environmentally friendly and healthy not only good for peoples also good for our pets. The design of PAW HUB are around the pets, we fellow the pets habit to make it fun like the sitar go up and down and a room just for cat and those little pet are afraid dog and people, we didn't want pet families felt stuck indoor, so the interior design like the outdoor street view, let them really could relax here. All pets could happily hung out here without any unfriendly treatment. Pets may not be able to accompany you for your lifetime, but it will spend its entire life with you.
