Created by Douglas Barnhard, Sourgrassbuilt features midcentury birdhouses that Barnhard designs and builds in Santa Cruz, California. His birdhouses use high-end repurposed materials and are influenced by "Eichler and Frank Lloyd Wright mixed with the rich skate and surf culture of Santa Cruz." In fact, the company even created a bird version of Taliesin West for the Frank Lloyd Wright store. Barnhard also crafts custom birdhouses upon request—if you think a "mini-me" version of your home is in order.
