The chicken coop designed by RAAD is a luxury residence for chickens


 
Although they had set up shop at one end of the BKLYN Designs booth, RAAD studio is actually based in Lower Manhattan. Nevertheless, their piece had a distinctly Brooklyn-DIY quality to it: among the myriad chairs, desks, lamps and other (international) contemporary furniture at the ICFF this year, RAAD's "the chicken coop " came completely out of left field.

It's more or less what its pithy title suggests: a ritzy take on a chicken coop (and arguably the biggest leap forward in coop design and technology ever), which makes for "a perfect oddball modernist addition to a city terrace or roof garden." (For the record, it is perfectly legal to raise chickens in New York City.)

The chicken coop presents a unique luxury option for urban chickens. Floor to ceiling windows allow for unparalleled views. Amenities are fully integrated. Open, loft-like spaces liberate the lifestyles of modern chickens.

An adjustable ventilation system creates optimum comfort for chickens in any weather or climate. The four-nest chicken lost of 63 sq.ft. allows for spacious, comfortable living. Exclusive and social spaces combine, allowing chickens to interact with neighbors and retreat to luxurious private nests.
