Holland-based industrial designer Frederik Roije has created this lighthearted ‘Breed Retreat’ for your beloved poultry pets. As a built testament to respecting nature’s creatures, this architectural chicken haven gives hens a home with space to move around and settle down.
‘Breed Retreat’ has been designed in the manner of a Moshe Safdie human housing complex of stacked apartment spaces and expansive fenestration. With a stilted structure to encourage maximal run-around space on the ground, the ‘Breed Retreat’ creates an effective environment for flora and fauna.
