This house makes me want to be a bat

From Treehugger: What a good idea! I'd like one for the dozens of bats that share my attic.

Bonnie previously covered the Bat house Competition, "to design a wildlife-friendly house for bats. The project connects the worlds of art and ecology and encourages the public’s involvement with ecology issues. The winning entry will be built at the London Wetland Centre which is appropriate since there are ten bat species living in London alone."

The overall prize went to AA students Jorgen Tandberg and Yo Murata:"The unanimous favourite through every round of voting, this design raised palpable excitement in the room. Beautiful, poetic and unexpected, combining state-of-the-art technology with a rural and romantic aesthetic." ::Bat House Project
