Lowell Closet
Overview
A Lowell Closet is a multipurpose construction that includes two of the most essential animal-supportive elements for cats—a litter closet and a cat loft—as well as a wardrobe for humans in the same architectural footprint as a typical bedroom closet.
The term “Lowell” comes from the acronym “LWL” which describes the components of the closet from top to bottom: Loft, Wardrobe, Litter.
Lowell Closets come in two major configurations: Fixed and Convertible. Fixed Lowell Closets are easier to construct and best used in owner-occupied homes where the litter closet portion will always be used for cats. Convertible Lowell Closets are more difficult to build are are best used in rental properties or anywhere more flexibility is desired, as they have the ability to be converted into a non-cat mode in which the litter closet is removed and the wardrobe is expanded.
