Begin by milling cedar planks into precise geometric segments to form the tiered structure. Use a miter saw set to specific angles to create the signature stepped setbacks characteristic of Art Deco architecture.

Construct the internal gravity-feed chamber using transparent acrylic sheets fitted within the wooden frame. This allows for a clear view of the seed level while maintaining the structural integrity of the skyscraper motif.

Attach a decorative spire crafted from polished brass or stainless steel to the peak to mimic the aesthetic of classic urban skylines. Ensure the roof is hinged or removable to allow for easy refilling of the central reservoir.

Apply a weather-resistant finish to the exterior wood while leaving the brass accents raw to develop a natural patina over time. Install a base tray with drainage holes to keep the seed dry during inclement weather.
