About the Falcon
It is estimated that falcons have eight times better vision than humans, allowing these raptors to spot small prey from nearly two miles away.
Almost going extinct like the iconic bald eagle, the falcon suffered heavily in North America from the widespread use of the pesticides, but has since recovered and has been removed from the endangered species list.
Green Sustainable & Fantastic
The cottage from structural design to construction has been built to be resource-efficient. Lovely additional features found within falcon are it’s skylight and smaller peepholes windows letting in the light wherever possible.
