I didn't look at the actual design graphics, so I totally agree with aart and JT about it too.

I would suggest you build a standard shed, at least 8x8, adding large roof overhangs for open eave ventilation(all year round) and several top hinged windows(summer ventilation and light year round)...and of course roosts and nests.Any you would recommend?
Here is the Modern Fresh Air Poultry House book.
Opened this book but didnt download save it, oops senility strikes again. Trying again.
Back to original question. That design has all the flaws already pointed out. The most grevious is chickens are not display items. They are real creatures who deserve a quality of life. Most small designs appear to be similar to zoo cages. Good to keep animals pacing and frustrated.
Cheapish is an understandable and realistic goal if a person has patience. Numerous people have built inexpensive, creative, yet functional and attractive chicken coops and runs. Looking through the small coop section on this site is entertaining and informative.
The worst thing you can do is rush the project. Take time to collect free lumber or other offerings and stockpile till ready. Old fencing and pallets, contruction scraps are good sources. Basic tools and willingness to try can turn a non handy person into a successful beginning carpenter. With the experience of some of the previous posters anyone can build an adequate coop and run that the chickens would love. If it doesnt work exactly the way a person wants then a remodel is in storel
After all a persons hard work, smacked thumbs, and splinters the chickens will graciously reward you with eggs and hours of entertainment. Good luck.
