And Now Introducing The Egg Hotel

We love it when design and architectural firms go all out in creating fantasy hotel buildings like the Death Star Hotel, a Leaning Tower of Pisa Hotel, and various underwater hotels. Getting them to actually rise up in the air is a whole different story but we can dream can't we?

The latest futuristic hotel to marvel over is what we're calling The Egg Hotel, which looks like a massive silver egg and is designed to be extremely eco-friendly and nearly self-sustainable. The project, officially called Envision, was created by Michael Rosenthal Associates for Hospitality Design’s Radical Innovation. And it is radical alright. From the Inhabitat Blog:

Operating like a living organism, the Envision literally breathes through its wind and atmospheric conversion systems, which allow natural air into the interior of the building without mechanical intervention. Photovoltaic exterior sheathing provides the building’s energy, while indoor gardens at various levels of the structure act as upward extensions of the earth, creating mini-microclimates that filter the air and act as added insulation.
