It may be a phrase perpetually linked with the Beijing Olympics, but now UID Architects have created a bird’s nest of their own, in Hiroshima, Japan. Taking inspiration from the handiwork of our feathered friends, UID’s family home reflects the orders of the environment, relative to the ground, trees and sky. Instead of compromising the surrounding forest, the building is integrated by the architects in the form of tunnels, a lower level planted garden, and moveable, flexible space. Wide openings in the walls and floors blur any distinctions between the various levels, whilst still allowing for interaction and intimacy.
