Quirky Meets Practical in a Dallas Chicken Coop (21 photos)

Greenman wanted something cool and different, plus she was committed to being as resourceful as possible, so for assistance she turned to James Curvan, a talented architect and builder who is known for doing fun things like this treehouse.

Curvan is great at finding recycled and cast-off materials and reusing them. The result here is an artful mix of found materials, including old screen doors, wood from a derelict 1880s farmhouse, pieces of tin, chicken wire and window frames. Greenman estimates that the materials she bought, mainly nails and screws and latches, plus the concrete blocks and hardware cloth for the foundation, cost less than $40 total.
