This minimalist bird dwelling draws inspiration from the evocative spatial language of Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, whose architecture is defined by material honesty, atmosphere, and a deep sensitivity to place.

Designed specifically for open-nesting bird species, the structure features an open-sided configuration that balances exposure with enclosure. A deliberate incision in the gabled roof allows effortless access for the nesting bird, while still offering protection from the elements. The louvered side façade introduces natural cross-ventilation, ensuring a temperate and breathable environment—subtle gestures that echo Zumthor’s mastery of light, air, and sensory experience.
