Fans of Frank Lloyd Wright or Eichler will swoon over these California-made birdhouses. Douglas Barnhard, owner of home decor company Sourgrassbuilt, models the enchanting birdhouses after modern architecture. Not only are the birdhouses beautiful, they're made with repurposed materials. Barnhard counts famous architects “mixed with the rich skate and surf culture in Santa Cruz” as inspiration for his artistic creations. He utilizes materials like teak, mahogany, walnut, and bamboo. Some of his handmade birdhouses even include living walls flourishing with succulents to attract birds. His charming birdhouses pay homage to famous buildings, architects, or design approaches like those taught at the Bauhaus School in Germany.

Other birdhouses were inspired by the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Eichler homes in San Mateo, and 1960’s Sunnyvale homes. Barnhard sells these lovely designs on his website and on Etsy.
