The cladding also integrates small gaps, which allow local birds, including sparrows and black redstarts, to access the hollow space between the structure and the wall to build nests. At the base of the 3D printed fa\u00e7ade, additional entry points have been integrated so that hedgehogs too can make themselves a sheltered home.
