To explore “the meaning of place at a time of great environmental change”, artist Stephen Turner teamed up with the association of SPUD Group and PAD Studio to build the “Exbury Egg”, an egg-shaped micro-home that floats on water.
Designed to be “tethered” like a boat, this unusual little house is made to “rise and fall with the tide”—containing bare necessities like a shower, a stove and a hammock bed, the Exbury Egg would allow its occupant to more directly experience the seasonal cycles and processes of nature.
From 15 July 2013 to 14 July 2014, Turner would be living and working inside and around the house, documenting his unique one-year residency on his blog.
