Skagen Harbor Birdhouse Kit

Inspired by the iconic red fish warehouses at Skagen Harbour, originally designed by Danish artist and architect Thorvald Bindesbøll between 1905 and 1907, this birdhouse brings a small piece of Danish architectural history into the garden.

This project is a little more personal than most. Before becoming a carpenter, I worked as a chef apprentice in two of the original harbour buildings that inspired this design. Years later, I wanted to recreate that familiar architecture as a functional 3D printable birdhouse, while also drawing inspiration from traditional birdhouse designs and adapting them into a practical assembly kit.

The birdhouse features decorative trim details, a removable roof for easy cleaning, and a simple assembly system using short pieces of filament as alignment pins.

To make the model accessible to as many makers as possible, several versions are included:

• AMS version for easy multi-colour printing
• No-AMS version with separate colour parts
• Standard printer version
• A1 Mini compatible version

Assembly requires only a small amount of glue and a few filament offcuts. My hope is that this becomes more than just a print – it's a small project that can be built together with your kids, partner, or family before finding its place in the garden.

Features

• Removable roof
• Multi-part assembly kit
• Separate colour components
• Filament pin alignment system
• Decorative window trim and siding details
• Inspired by the historic fish warehouses of Skagen Harbour
• AMS and No-AMS versions included

Tip

If the filament pins feel tight, simply clean the hole with a small drill bit by hand. Printer tolerances vary slightly, and a quick pass is usually all that's needed for a perfect fit.

Happy printing!
