Umbra Bird Cafe

A stylish apartment center with a trendy restaurant for smaller songbird guests: Teddy Luong and Dennis Cheng are not swayed by the kitsch of many garden accessories, but instead design a birdhouse for the Canadian brand Umbra with modern urbanity. The irregularly arranged windows, clad in clear plastic panes, provide a view of the birdseed level, while the flat roof can be easily removed for refilling. Garden birds can peck at the automatically replenishing food from all four sides of the birdhouse while comfortably sitting on the edge of the slightly larger, cleverly divided base tray. The tray features fine drainage holes to ensure that the birdseed doesn’t float in rainwater. By the way, the Bird Cafe feeding station from Umbra is loosely hung from a branch or beam.
