架构师提供的文本描述。这座鸟舍是一座树梢，座落在森林山坡上的木塔上。这间小屋沉浸在树冠中，可以容纳两个人，十二种鸟类，以及任何好奇的生物。除了是一个吸引人们筑巢的地方，这个异想天开的立面还有12座鸟舍，每座都是为生活在不列颠哥伦比亚省哥伦比亚山谷山区的各种本地鸟类设计的。

Text description provided by the architects. The birdhut is a treetop perch that sits on wooden stilts along a forested hillside. Immersed in the tree canopy, the hut accommodates two people, twelve varieties of birds, and whatever inquisitive critters come by to visit. In addition to being an inviting place for people to nest, the whimsical façade has twelve birdhouses, each designed for various local birds that live in the mountains of the Columbia Valley, British Columbia.

该鸟棚的材料、形式和方向被设计为尽可能广泛地为当地各种鸟类提供筑巢机会。例如，枕套啄木鸟是一种更大的鸟，它在离地面15到25英尺的地方寻找筑巢空间，有一个4“进入洞和一个8”x8“x24”洞。另一方面，莺是一种较小的鸟，通常在离地面9英尺的地方筑巢，有一个1/8“的洞和一个4”x4“x6”的洞。考虑到当地鸟类的最大和最小品种，小屋坐落在离地面9英尺的地方，峰顶在离地面20英尺的地方，鸟舍散落在两者之间。模仿一只鸟筑巢的过程，鸟舍的材料被从附近的环境中清除掉。

The materials, form, and orientation of the birdhut were designed to offer nesting opportunities for as wide a variety of local birds as possible. The pileated woodpecker for instance, is a larger bird that seeks out a nesting space 15 to 25 feet above ground, with a 4” entry hole and an 8”x8”x24” cavity. The warbler, on the other hand, is a smaller bird that typically nests 9 feet above ground with a 1 1/8” hole and a 4”x4”x6” cavity. Considering both the largest and smallest varieties of local birds, the hut sits 9 feet off the ground, with its peak at 20 feet above the ground and birdhouses scattered in between. Mimicking the process of a bird building a nest, the materials of the birdhut were scavenged from the immediate surroundings.

这间小屋坐落在一座交叉支撑的建筑里，它是用坚固的立柱松树建造的，这些松树是从附近的一片森林里觅食的，最近遭到了大火的蹂躏。茅屋的平台和包层是从旧船舱甲板上回收的木板制成的。正面是西方的红色雪松瓦与定制的圆形轮廓，半径是由鸟舍开口的大小和每个板条的宽度决定的。为了给人一种存在树冠上的感觉，鸟舍的屋顶用清晰的8毫米聚碳酸酯板消失了。因此，空间被太阳被动加热，作为一种温室，被动通风的两个圆窗，标点的正面和入口。一座桥把鸟舍和山坡连接起来，一条石头小径通向天然的泉水和篝火。

The hut is nestled in a cross braced structure built of sturdy lodgepole pines foraged from a nearby forest recently ravaged by fire. The platform and cladding for the hut is made of planks reclaimed from an old cabin deck. The front facade is clad with western red cedar shingles cut with a custom rounded profile, the radius which were determined by the size of the birdhouse opening and the width of each shingle. To give a sense of being in the canopy of the trees, the roof of the birdhut disappears with clear 8mm polycarbonate panels. As a result, the space is passively heated by the sun, acting as a kind of greenhouse that is passively ventilated by two circle windows that punctuate the facade and the entry. A bridge connects the birdhut to the hillside and a stone path leads down to a natural spring and campfire.
