Aether Nest takes inspiration from the intricate design of a bird’s nest, creating a vibrant environment that mirrors the natural world of birds. It elevates visitors to the height where flocks glide and nest, blending wildlife, habitat, and architectural elegance into a captivating experience. The aviary’s multi-level layout provides a secure flight zone for birds while optimizing scenic views for visitors. Thoughtful design elements encourage a deeper connection to nature, fostering both education and appreciation. The layout also ensures a clear separation between staff-only areas and those accessible to the public, enhancing functionality and visitor flow.
