What a difference shape can make. Like its uninspired communist era neighbors, this Czech family home is built primarily of concrete, yet a contoured, egg-shaped imprint lends it unbeatable personality.
The EggO House’s inner glass wall is sealed like the windshield of a car, attached to
steel columns that also support the massive concrete roof. Outside, the lawn might be under the watchful gaze of the tower blocks across the street, but the concrete horizon of the roof affords a slight screen—and a psychological barrier—against prying eyes.
