Birds Have Better Looking Homes
Modern Birdhouses sells three beautifully designed birdhouses. The project is based off a case study program established in 1945 by John Entenza, the progressive editor and publisher of Arts and Architecture Magazine. Entenza commissioned architects to design simple and innovative modern homes for a growing post-war housing market. The resulting homes took full advantage of industrialized building processes and continue to broadly influence modern architecture.
The birdhouses are designed and named after three of the participants in the 1945 case study. J.R. Davidson, Richard Neutra and Ralph Rapson (his birdhouse pictured above). All three feature simple lines, modern detailing and durable materials. They are hand made from sustainably harvested teak which are stained with a light color.
These are some of the most beautiful bird houses I have ever seen. It puts the crap stuff I see at home depot to shame.
