birdhouse

Designer Shuchun Hsiao created the Google Birdhouse Project, an ongoing project to give birds desinations of their own, just like Google maps does for humans.

Hexagon-shaped birdhouses that join together with other units to create a bird community so mama birds don't have to suffer from empty nest syndrome.

Challenged by the local water company, Serra da Estrela, Portuguese design firm Colectivo da Rainha was to find a way to re-use the company's PET plastic bottles as the central material in a new product. Accepting the challenge, the duo created the Plastic Birdhouse as a way to give a home to birds from something you already have in your home.

With its simple house-shaped lines, the PICTO birdhouse references a pictogram of a three-dimensional home making it the perfect shelter for small birds. Designed by birds for design for the French company Qui est Paul?, it comes in a hanging version or on a pole to plant in the yard. It also comes in 17 super fun colors!
