The Egg House
Being unable to afford the high price of
rent in Beijing, Dai Haifei, a
recent architecture graduate, came up with a novel idea — the creation
of an “egg house”. The inspiration to construct the domicile came after
Haifei attended the 2010 Shanghai Biennale and encountered the similar
“City egg” architectural project. The solar-powered eco-friendly house
is propped up on wheels and cost only $964 to build, using bamboo
splints, wood chips, sacks, and grass seeds as material.
