From Mother Nature Network's Matt Hickman:
In some kind of bizarre Hitchcockian mash-up (spying on your neighbors, dizzying heights, stairs, a massive amount of birds) set amongst a tranquil woodland area in Japan’s Nagano prefecture, Tokyo-based design firm Nendo has created a 78-unit avian apartment complex-cum-human-sized treehouse dubbed, most appropriately, Bird-Apartment.
The minimalist, house-shaped structure — described by its designers as "collective housing for many birds and one person" — is perched in a forest canopy high above the grounds of Komoro City’s Momofuku Ando Center. This “nature activity facility” of sorts is named in honor of the Taiwan-born genius who introduced Nissin Top Ramen to the world. (Starving college students take note: he died at the age of 96 in 2007 and credited his longevity to a daily diet of instant noodles.)
