Some details and inspirational background for this iconic sawtooth roof bird house.
The most famous example in Palm Springs was completed by Donald Wexler in 1962.While this “accordion” like appearance is known for its dramatic visual, it was its climate functionality that gave birth to its popularity in the 1900’s.A more modified adaptation was adopted for residential use by architects in an attempt by designers to use Palm Springs as an experimental lab for new ideas labeled Desert Modernism.This new roof design was also known by other names such as Folded-Plate Roof Line or a Zig Zag Roof.
The window feature on this bird house is set in deep to avoid exposure to the sun, while serving as a ventilation for the interior. The entrance is semi-hidden for its occupant’s privacy and protection from predators.
A home for your feathered friends outdoors, all of my bird houses may be enjoyed as yard decor or as indoor art by humans.
