# Contemporary Curved Birdhouses Ryan Bruxvoort's Birdhouse Concept is Sculptural and Modern By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-02-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdhouse-concept References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/2015/02/24/birdhouse-by-ryan-bruxvoort/) & [ryanb0185.wordpress](https://ryanb0185.wordpress.com/) Ryan Bruxvoort's birdhouse concept resembles a piece of [modernist architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof). The curved creation appears to float in mid-air and is made using a maple wood material. When crafting his custom birdhouse, Ryan used 65 maple wood strips to build the piece. This curved birdhouse concept will appeal to fans of [contemporary design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-within-a-few-lines) and is inspired by wooden architecture projects of a greater scale. Drawing inspiration from skate ramps and other [curved wood structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drpa), this birdhouse folds organically and is accented with a circular opening that is sized for smaller birds. The roomy bird home boasts a light-weight design and is the perfect addition to scenic backyards or cottages with a feel that is more contemporary rather than rustic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Contemporary Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create modern and sculptural birdhouses inspired by contemporary architecture. - **Curved Wood Structures:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate organic and curved designs into various wooden products, such as furniture or decorative items. - **Lightweight Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop lightweight materials and construction techniques for outdoor structures and furniture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce modern birdhouses as unique home decor items. - **Outdoor Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create lightweight and contemporary outdoor furniture designs using curved wood structures. - **Architectural Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply the concept of curved and sculptural birdhouses to larger architectural projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Observation Wooden Birdhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domik-ptashki.md) - [Modernism Birdhouse Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwellings-project.md) - [Educational Linoleum Birdhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elvi-birdhouse.md) - [Birdhouse-Integrated Address Signs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/our-common-house.md) - [Birdhouse-Resembling Narrow Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-birdhouse.md) - [Sustainable Bird House Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-bird.md) - [Modern Rounded Treehouse Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burl-treehouse.md) - [Home Exterior Nesting Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/numbird.md) - [Nature-Shared A-Frame Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumiki-architects.md)
