Bird House for Permaculture Design

The goal of this project is to create a bird house of mostly natural materials that can be installed into a permaculture design for supporting the attraction of wild birds onto the landscape.

This project has been designed and created by Florence Nickerson and Patrick Spahr, in October 2010, at Maharishi University of Management, Sustainable Living Department, for the Permaculture Design certification course.

Step 1 Design

We began with a rough sketch in the back of a notebook in order to create a conceptual design. We quickly agreed this was the right design approach for the project we intended to create.

Then the idea was presented to our professor who approved the project.
