Human construction techniques and woven rope materials bring the design to life. Previous works in the series include structures inspired by the Gray-Cheeked Fulvetta, Green-backed Tit, Crested Serpent Eagle, White Wagtail, and Black Bulbul.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Commissioned by Swiio Villa Yilan, the latest project introduces a shelter system designed for the ducks inhabiting the villa\u2019s pond. The shelters provide protection from seasonal conditions, including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/architecture-in-taiwan\/\">Taiwan\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> hot summers and typhoon periods, while creating comfortable living spaces for the animals.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/fixer.com.tw\/index#\/\">FIXER Photographic Studio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">pinecone-like wooden huts provide refuge for ducks<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chengtsung.com\/\">Artist<\/a><\/strong> Cheng Tsung FENG began the design process with research and prototype testing. An initial hut was placed in the pond, and the ducks\u2019 interactions with it were recorded by the villa staff. This feedback informed a series of refinements, including adjustments to buoyancy and window height, ensuring the structures matched the ducks\u2019 natural behaviors and preferences.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The final installation consists of four floating wooden huts, each built in different scales and proportions to accommodate the pond\u2019s population and movement patterns. The shelters are clad in slanted wooden shingles arranged in overlapping layers, providing ventilation and weather resistance while recalling the geometry of a pinecone. Circular windows were incorporated into each hut, allowing visibility both for the ducks and for villa guests, who can observe them using telescopes provided on-site. Inside, the huts are fitted with automatic lighting that activates during winter nights or at designated times, creating warmth for the ducks and producing an illuminated display across the water in the evening.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Cheng Tsung FENG designed floating shelters for call ducks at Swiio Villa Yilan<\/p>\n<p>the series translates nest-building strategies of animals into architectural design<\/p>\n<p>the design provides ducks with protection from wind and rain<\/p>\n<p>the final installation includes four floating huts in varied scales<\/p>\n<p>overlapping wooden shingles create protective and ventilated shells<\/p>\n<p>different sizes accommodate the ducks\u2019 population and movement patterns<\/p>\n<p>the shingle arrangement recalls the geometry of a pinecone<\/p>\n<p>circular windows allow ducks to peek outside the shelters<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>rope weaving and human construction methods shaped the structures<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>automatic lighting inside the huts activates on winter nights<\/p>\n<p>the illumination creates warmth for the ducks during colder months<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>at night, the glowing shelters form a striking display across the pond<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the project is part of the artist\u2019s ongoing Nesting Plan series<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Nesting Plan VI Call Duck<br \/>\n<strong>artist: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chengtsung.com\/\">Cheng Tsung FENG<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chengtsungfeng\/\">@chengtsungfeng<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>design team:<\/strong> Chan Wei HSU, Ying Chun WENG, Kuan Wei WU, Ching Cheng CHANG<br \/>\n<strong>woodwork:<\/strong> Weige Interior<strong><br \/>\nlocation:<\/strong> Yilan, Taiwan<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fixer.com.tw\/index#\/\">FIXER Photographic Studio<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fixer_photographic_studio\/\">@fixer_photographic_studio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><span class=\"s1\">DIY submissions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><span class=\"s1\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/four-floating-wooden-huts-cheng-tsung-feng-duck-nest-installations-nesting-plan-vi-09-03-2025\/\">four floating wooden huts shape cheng tsung feng\u2019s duck nest installations<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheng Tsung FENG designs floating duck shelters \u00a0 Cheng Tsung FENG has completed a floating shelter for call ducks as part of his ongoing Nesting Plan series, a body of work that translates the nest-building &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
