All these tiny houses and structure are very interesting but they’re not the only ones that feature such an unusual shape. In fact, there are plans to create an egg-shaped luxury hotel. It would be a skyscraper with one part serving as a wind tower and one as an eco-resort. It would have indoor gardens and it would be surrounded by pools of water. It would be a sustainable structure and it would feature exterior LED curtain walls that would change color at night, making the whole hotel glow. It’s a very interesting concept.{found on inhabitat}.
