The architects at New York’s RAAD have engineered a luxury urban chicken coop. Designed to maximize a hen’s productivity while ensuring optimal comfort, the Chicken Co-op is being marketed as a “new standard in living that liberates the lifestyles of modern chickens.”
With the exception of “sliding tray for easy clean up,” the Chicken Co-op’s amenities list would entice most humans:
- Floor to ceiling windows
- Plenty of storage
- Complimentary dining area
- Solar powered fan for keeping cool in the summer
- 4 very spacious private units with great views
The cost of the Chicken Co-op is $3,500, but imagine how much you could save in eggs…
Urban farming is on the rise, and chickens are the gateway animal. Because chickens sit on the fence between livestock and pets, it’s legal to raise them in the backyards and terraces of most cities. For instance, Oakland city ordinances allow residents to keep chickens in an enclosed coop with some restrictions on how close it is to houses, schools and churches.
Many city-dwellers who raise chickens cite their main reason for doing so as having a deeper connection with the food they eat. Practically speaking, chickens provide poultry, eggs and fertilizer. RAAD’s Chicken Co-op is the urban designer’s alternative to chicken wire.
