Drawing inspiration from the work of Santiago Calatrava—often regarded as the modern-day Antoni Gaudí—this avian dwelling echoes his signature synthesis of architecture, engineering, and the natural world. Like Calatrava’s sculptural structures, which often evoke avian wings or skeletal forms, this design embraces a sense of movement and organic form.

Though the volume reads as a singular, expansive enclosure, only the upper half serves as the inhabitable nesting space. Sloped side panels are wrapped with a series of vertically oriented, gently curved bands—suggesting the silhouette of a bird’s wing in motion. The subtle spacing between these bands allows for natural ventilation, while also reinforcing the rhythmic, anatomical quality of the form. The result is both functional and expressive, in keeping with Calatrava’s nature-inspired architectural language.
