Egg shaped 'home'?

There is this article on CNN.com about this new mini-house design:

http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/13/architecture/eco-capsule-nice-architects/?iid=ob_homepage_deskrecommended_pool&iref=obinsite

If you read the article, they are planning on mounting the Egg onto a chassis to make it more transportable.

Hmmm, let me see: it has a bed, it has a kitchen, it has a table, it has a bathroom, it has solar, it has wind turbine ...

I wonder, is there anything else out there that is on wheels and has all of those items? Anything? Can we here on RV.net come up with anything?

It amazes me to watch the TV show on Tiny Homes and see these people paying so much for a tiny home which is smaller than many RVs. Now I know that some RVs quality might not be up to snuff, but there are brands out there that can be used as a permanent residences.

Just my thoughts.

  • Looks cool... but as a place for day to day living? Impractical, just due to the round shape making it hard to store items. Just something like a file cabinet for day to day paperwork would almost require an outside storage shed.
  • All I can say is "Na-nu Na-nu", for those old enough to remember "Mork from Ork". Sorry...couldn't resist. :)

  • I just skimmed the article but I think that egg shaped whatever it is looks cool. I see a trend towards smaller houses and RV's in the future.
