This was a custom design for a client, designed to match their home. It has offset stacked cubes and a bright blue, powder-coated butterfly roof that matches the roofline of the client’s house. The cladding alternates between clearcoate­d marine plywood and panels painted in Mondrian-like primary colors. The bottom cube houses the food, water and nesting boxes, which also act as stairs up to the top cube where there is roosting space. Both back panels open for easy access, and the cubes being offset allows for ventilatio­n.
