Silent Auction Animal Habitats

Bird House
When an architect scours the studio for materials, the design possibilities are endless. Using these materials and other functional found objects, Fernau & Hartman created a habitat that is sustainable as well as architectural.

Woodland Chicken Coop
This true chicken coop is built from recovered barn wood from a farm in Sonoma County. It features inside and outside access to the nesting boxes and quickly disassembles for instant mobility.

Minimalist Cat Climb
Loosely based on the designs of architect Gerrit Rietveld, this cat habitat is a study in shapes and planes. Incorporated throughout the multiple levels are scratching posts, climbing levels and a perfect napping spot.

Cub Scout Hamster Maze
Your hamster will never be bored in this fun and exciting maze of tubes and rooms. The Scouts from Hillsborough Den C have helped create a habitat built completely of re-purposed materials.

Rabbitat Extreme
Two Brownie Troops came together to design this multi-story rabbit habitat with connecting tunnels and ramps. It comes complete with a starter carrot garden and the basic needs for new or ongoing rabbit care in your own home.
