Executive Summary
Odonata Keep is a hybrid aquatic habitat and insect sanctuary designed to attract and breed dragonflies for natural mosquito control. Merging the functionality of a breeding pond with the aesthetic of a high-end 'bird hotel,' this unit features a self-sustaining aquatic basin for nymphs and a multi-story wooden superstructure for adults. The vertical tower provides crucial roosting slots, sunning perches, and protection from weather, while the decorative dragonfly motifs act as visual lures. It transforms a functional biological defense system into a charming, rustic architectural garden feature.
