Fancy living in a giant egg for a year?


A pool of talented creatives have worked together to build the Exbury Egg, a tiny, floating home and research station, currently moored in the Beaulieu estuary on Britain's south coast. Artist Stephen Turner, who helped build this pod, will be both the Egg's client and chief resident. 

The Exbury Egg, which was launched in May and will be Turner’s home for the next year, as he studies and looks for inspiration in the rise and fall of the waters, in an attempt to better understand our environment. Turner’s work has appeared, aptly, in Margate’s Turner Gallery, among other places, and he often concerns himself with the sea, nature, the man-made world and the persistence of time.

The interior is welcoming and is simply kitted out with a hammock, a stove, a desk and a wet room. Keeping the interior simple yet it has everything for your basic needs. There's also an egg-shaped skylight and a square, hatch-like window to light up the Egg.

Would you like to spend a whole year in the Exbury Egg? Let's hope he's stocked up on plenty of Grasshopper foods.
