A Beautifully Designed Little House. Strictly For The Birds...

I really like cute and clever bird houses
and I also like simplicity of design.
This little wooden birdhouse fills all the criteria for a functional and a beautiful piece of art.
The hanging strap could be improved on though.
Young Spanish designer Andreu Carulla who designed this delightful modular Neighbirds Nest has just been nominated for the Elle Decor International Design Awards 2012.
It's the sort of thing a DIY person would have fun making over the holidays...

This Treehouse In Japan Is A High-Rise Apartment Building For The Birds...

The designers at Nendo, led by founder Oki Sato, have created a treehouse for humans that's also a sanctuary for nesting birds.
This Bird Apartment building has been installed at the Ando Manofuku Center in Komoro City.
The mission of the Center is to promote human access to nature and this structure's design allows visitors to the treehouse to get a viewing through the  peepholes into each of the seventy eight separate bird apartments.
The front of each apartment echos that of a human dwelling giving the idea that the designers consider the avian homes are as important as the dwellings occupied by humans.

A Tiny Treehouse...

High in the tree there was a tiny treehouse.
Maybe a birdhouse.
Or was it two or maybe three or four and maybe even one more...
