Unique house made mainly of eco-friendly wooden materials, can float on the water and freely move.
Stephen Turner is an English art-making artist. His works provide a true insight into the change in the relationship between people, the modern world and the natural environment.

One of his outstanding works is “Exbury Egg” – an egg-shaped studio that can float on water and travel anywhere. Initially, the Exbury Egg was intended to be an installation work and would be moved to exhibits by boat. But then, this egg house was used by Turner as a place to stay regularly. The artist even records the days living in the house as an authentic art performance. Outside the egg-shaped “Exbury Egg” house. The unique house is made almost entirely of wood with a very artistic shape. With a round egg-shaped shell, the house can easily move across the water. When not moving, the Exbury Egg sits quietly on the water, anchored to the shore by two ropes to prevent it from drifting. The egg-shaped floating house mingles with nature. House surfaces are cleaned by tides, rain and wind from time to time. This process creates a unique rust layer that makes the house a part of the surrounding natural landscape. The house is anchored by two ropes. Except for a few windows, the house was hardly decorated. Inside the house, basic equipment for everyday life such as minimalist kitchens, lockers, bathrooms with showers … are installed. The sleeping place is quite basic design, with just a rope hammock. During the day, the hammock is collapsed, the space opens up like a studio, where Turner creates works of art. Unique wooden crust of the house. Turner’s sleeping hammock. In the house, only necessary facilities are furnished. Kitchen and bathroom areas. The house is connected to the mainland by a small mobile jetty that can be removed when not in use. Turner often goes to the mainland to shop or look for essential items used in art, as well as to store food and fuel. The house can be moved to the pier. Stephen Turner ‘s egg shaped floating house is truly a work of art for all lovers of minimalism. Lam Vy Photo: Pinterest
