American designer Chad Wright stretched the archetypal birdhouse shape to create penthouse nest boxes with varying heights.

A concrete base with a screw-in stake stabilises these slender wooden pillars on grass or hard-standing.

The birdhouses come in a selection of different colours, including tomato red, robin's egg and cloud blue.

Here's some more text from Studio Chad Wright:

Attic is a series of avian abodes recently designed by Studio Chad Wright. At 4'6", 4'10" and 6'0", Attic provides homes of varying levels of status to a variety of birds. Shown here in colors robin's egg, tomato and cloud, Attic features a molded concrete base with a screw-in lawn stake, thus accommodating tiled or lawn-covered landscapes.

Studio Chad Wright is the laboratory, factory and home of Chad Wright, an emerging independent American designer.

After working in several of the top design studios in San Francisco, Chad recently ventured out on his own and founded Studio Chad Wright in 2011, a studio that synthesizes ideas with objects, poeticism with relevance, product with person (or animal), and simplicity with joy.

French designer Inga Sempé has designed this outdoor shower for French brand Tectona.

Called Delta, the shower consists of a bent tubular frame and shower head, which can be attached to a standard garden hose.

Here's a little more information from Tectona:

Delta outdoor shower

During development of the DELTA model for Tectona in 2009, Inga Sempé aimed, in her own words, "to design a shower that can integrate into any type of landscape, and which is sufficiently light visually speaking so as not to break up the view". To ensure its stability, the shower must be fixed to a hard solid surface using the provided kit. It connects to a standard watering hose.
