Sparrow Brick
Sparrow Brick: design for hope, coexistenc, memory
The Sparrow Brick is a modular terracotta birdhouse and feeder (20x20x20cm) that integrates into walls like a standard brick or stands alone. Designed for residents, communities, and architects, it solves urban sparrow habitat loss by providing secure, insulated nesting space that is easy to clean due to its detachable component. It is sustainable because it is made from locally sourced, recyclable terracotta and promotes biodiversity and resource efficiency in construction.

I am an architect and ceramic designer. I'm utterly captivated by sustainable living, believing that thoughtful design can truly bridge the gap between human needs and nature. My world revolves around curiosity – whether I'm birdwatching , or getting my hands dirty exploring materials. For me, design isn't just about solutions; it's about embracing the whole journey,like how I loved following and observing sparrows in my neighborhood.
