We usually like talking about architecture and design firms, but this time we\u2019re going to show you instead of an original product design which draws inspiration from the style and techniques of the world\u2019s most famous architects to create something you probably don\u2019t see very often: birdhouses!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Douglas Barnhard is the founder of Sourgrassbuilt, a design agency based in Santa Cruz, California. They basically design birdhouses using recycled materials but in a very original way. In fact, they draw inspiration from mid-century modernism, particularly from artists like Frank Lloyd Wright, Joseph Eichler, and the Bauhaus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some of the houses also include climbing plant-covered walls to make them more attractive to birds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cEichleresque Atrium\u201d below is modeled after Eichler\u2019s San Francisco Bay Area housing developments. It includes two \u201chouses\u201d with an aluminum sloping roof and big windows overlooking the central atrium, where the designers installed a small bamboo trough for birds\u2019 feed. All the wooden parts are made of teak and the house is wholly covered with high-end laminate as a protection against bad weather.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some other birdhouses draw inspiration from the Bauhaus Movement (1919-1933), featuring more basic, pure lines and a retro style.<\/p>\n

Like some of his works clearly show, Douglas Barnhard is also widely inspired by surf culture. One example is the \u201cMaison Kauai\u201d, which includes two small surfboards on its deck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The last house is made of bamboo and takes inspiration from Japanese tea gardens, notably from the one installed in San Francisco Bay.<\/p>\n
