HOUSE HOPPING





CONCEPT


A birdhouse that is designed to act as a modular housing system for the Tufted Titmouse.

These houses would be able to function as both homes for the birds but also would be spread out vertically between trees, creating platforms for the birds to jump between.  These platforms would make it easier for the birds to move from the tree tops to the ground and vice versa. The design has also been created with sustainability principles in mind. It can be completely disassembled and would be made from recycled HDPE and sustainably sourced Birch wood sheets. The house is designed to have a curve to match the tree. The wooden tops and bottoms would be interchangeable to match the different curvatures of trees. 

MODULAR

PROCESS

These are the original sketch models that I had made of my concept. Made from hot glue and carboard, they illustrate the 


FORM STUDY- Here the main focus of the sketches was to play with the form of the object, and how to best make a birdhouse that complimented the forms of trees. 
PROCREATE RENDERING- Rendering of full concept before proceeding to creating the final aperance model
FINAL MODEL- Made from stacked purple foam, cut, carved, and joint compounded to look like plastic
