A whimsical, pagoda-style birdhouse constructed from hand-cut iron sheets, featuring a multi-tiered, shingled roof and a heart-shaped central aperture. The exterior surface is defined by a unique relief treatment—a mixture of glue and calcium powder—that provides a dense, tactile texture over the metallic frame. This composite is hand-formed into a variety of decorative motifs, including blooming lotus flowers along the walls and a rhythmic, scale-like pattern on the roof that mimics traditional Balinese Sirap roofing. The piece is finished in a distressed polychrome palette of sky blue and coral pink, with hand-painted scrollwork along the eaves that balances the structural weight of the iron with a soft, ethereal garden aesthetic.
