Mid-Century Modern Perches Offer a Minimalist Haven for Backyard Birds

Accented with wood-slatted porches and bright water dishes, these mid-century modern birdhouses by Douglas Barnhard give avian neighbors with particular aesthetic sensibilities a reason to flock home. Barnhard, who’s behind the Santa Cruz-based company Sourgrassbuilt, builds the succulent-studded abodes from bamboo, cedar, teak, and glossy laminate. With clean lines and angular features, they emulate the architecture pioneered by Joseph Eichler, Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Bauhaus.
To offer your feathered companions a modern upgrade, see which works Barnhard has available in his shop, and check out the home he renovated into a miniature art gallery on Instagram. (via Apartment Therapy)
