Perhaps society's gotten too used to the concept of walls and a roof, with refreshingly [unconventional architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sinfornia-verde) such as KasaUovo Houses hatched each day.

These egg-shaped dwellings might just be the ideal form of a [sustainable home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabana). Made from wasted wood and recycled car tires, these delectable [prefabricated dwellings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-nests-treepod-project) are 750-square feet of modular masonry and passive utilities. With their shape enabling them to harness the sun, the wind and the rain, KasaUovo Houses are 90% recyclable and 70% more efficient than most residential properties.

Designed by Roberto Casati with renderings by Matteo Puggelli, an egg-shaped community may be coming to a town near you.
