For April Fool’s Day yesterday, I went to my neighbor’s house and rolled it over. Oh, how I laughed!
(Note: my neighbor actually lives in a boring rambler, just like me and everyone else in my neighborhood. I just have a rich fantasy life. One that involves rolling oddly-shaped houses down hills. Oh, like your fantasy life is any less surreal…)

Marie: My only problem with this is that I live with my husband. If we have to sleep in seperate cubbies our child will NEVER be concieved!
Margaret: He doesn’t need to be conceived. The house just needs to be turned 3 times daily, incubated at 99.5 degrees, and in 21 days or so it’ll bring forth a new life.

Hahahaha, I love how the listing says it includes a “bed” – no no, that is not a bed, that is 3 cubbies joined together. There is a difference.
Someday, when I have a house and a yard, I am so getting one. And then I’ll be all, “No you can’t stay on my couch! You will sleep in the egg AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!” HA!
Yeah, about the only good things I can say for this structure and the one yesterday is that if you lived in them, at least you would be assured that no elderly relatives or those with small children would ever invite themselves to stay for the weekend …
Is that, or do my eyes deceive me, a picture of a woman on the toilet in the last photo? There appear to be plumbing pipes and judging by the layout and the items on the shelf next to the door, it’s the same room as in photo 2 :S
I think it is a woman on he toilet …. or maybe it is a sit down style shower… or there’s a chair in the bathroom?
I’d imagine it’s a combined enclosed all-in-one toilet/shower/sink . There was one in a hotel room I stayed in – a single fibreglass capsule. You could rinse the sink and bowl out with the shower, it was that small.
As a man, I appreciate that it appears all the photos (save the first) include a partially-dressed woman. (In a house shaped like an egg. Go figure.)
My only problem with this is that I live with my husband. If we have to sleep in seperate cubbies our child will NEVER be concieved!
He doesn’t need to be conceived. The house just needs to be turned 3 times daily, incubated at 99.5 degrees, and in 21 days or so it’ll bring forth a new life.
WIN!
Ditto.
I have two immediate, gut-level reactions about how one could come to harm in this “dwelling”:
1. “NO! NO! Don’t try to sleep in THOSE cubbies! Those are the automatic-on stove burners!”
2. “The giant has decided on an omelette! RUN!”
Either way, no-no, no-thank-you-very-much. Kthx.
The sleeper reminds me of the time I was on a train and saw some guy trying to sleep on the overhead luggage rack.
It makes those Japanese capsule hotels for drunken salarymen seem super spacious and practical.
Caltrain? Those double-decker carriages with the long rectangular gap cut out in the middle of the floor/ceiling? All just so that one ticket conductor could walk through the entire train without having to change floors.
Where is the kitchen in this? And if it’s just crammed in one of those cubbies, how does one go about stirring things on the back burner.
And the reason she’s sitting on the toilet is simple: She has no other chairs in the entire place. Does she eat her meals standing, or lying down?
“how does one go about stirring things on the back burner?”
You don’t. You wait for a friendly neighbor to roll your house.
ROFL, I would totally live here.
That “bed” just looks so incredibly uncomfortable. And claustrophobic. If I had to live there, I’d pull my sleeping bag out and sleep on the floor, where at least I could stretch out a little.
I mean really, couldn’t she afford at least an air mat to go under her or something?
Okay, maybe it’s just because I’m obsessed with storage space (probably because I currently don’t have any), but I kind of love this egg. I will buy it and live there for three weeks, at which point I will go stark raving mad from the lack of chairs, kitchen, and headroom above the bed. At that point, dear webmistress, feel free to come tip my egg house over.
So you’re saying living in an egg house would cause you to crack?–Eggsellent!
Wait–don’t shoot until you see the whites of my eyes.

Egg House! Want! Great escape pod for the back yard, or a place to put your mother in law when she visits.
No, see the good part is, your MIL will NEVER visit. And you can keep inviting her over and over again but she’ll just keep making excuses to turn down your hospitality.
OMG, you’re right. This has now gone way beyond want.
Best ever blog for comments. That’s all I gotta say.
Wow, I didn’t know you could buy a whole HOUSE from IKEA now! I love the Swedes!
for a second there, i read the post’s title as monk’s place. as in, adrian monk. i think that kind of set up could work very well for him, too.
The Freakster Bunny, who was shortly known in Hollywood for his stellar performance as the loveable but psychotic sidekick in the Japanese movie “Godzilla and Other Mutant Beasts”, now quietly makes his living by delivering egg-pods to good boys and girls every Easter.
All of the sudden I have the music from 2001: A Space Odyssey in my head…
The ad says this thing is easily moved. I get it, it works like a hamster ball! Imagine the exercise potential here.
On the plus side, there are enough cubbies for you to file everything alphabetically. I don’t know if the sleeper would go under B for bed, or S for sleep.
The fun part would be when saying goodbye to your friends, put your hand up and say “Nanoo Nanoo” as the door came down.
This house would make my OCD worse if I did that. “I’m sorry – you can’t sit there, your name begins with a Q, you must sit over THERE!” Still – it is cool. The only thing is – when you have friends over and have to take a dump…
when looking at the pics of this thing with the doors? closed, I came to the conclusion it’s a good thing its white: if it was brown, I’d be thinking the world’s largest dog just took a stroll through this yard…..
Want! That would make an awesome guest house. They wouldn’t want to stay too long, and it’s self contained! Yay!
I could see these bring used in state parks like yurts are now used. Perhaps they could be overflow for crowded dorms? Mini classrooms? The possibilities are endless!
Those walls should be padded.
Then tipping the egg- house wouldn’t be such an issue, and you could lock your kids in there when they got too rediculous.
This reminds me of Sportacus’s house…
Mork calling AWESOME!!
