Egg Shaped House [via]

The Egg Shaped House was built in Beijing, China by designer Dai Haifei. Constructed to be completely off the grid, the Egg Shaped House supplies itself with ample power via an installed solar panel. 

Taking up as little space as a sidewalk in one of the most densely populated areas in the world, this solution is both ample and environmentally friendly.

• Cob is fireproof, resistant to seismic activity, and nearly FREE OF COST FOR EVERYONE.

• Naturally thermal, the houses keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 
• Extremely creative; a cob house can be built with one floor or three; one can build the staircase, oven, loft, etc. from cob material while integrating windows, doors, secret compartments, and closets. The entire house is built with human hands and loving labor and will last for several years.
• They are very simple to build!
• They are most common in England and Oregon, withstanding both rain and snow and summer heat.
