Blob (215 square feet)

If you've ever envisioned living inside an egg, the Blob may be the model home for you. The molded wall niches contain a shower, sink, toilet, and sleeping compartment and provide plenty of storage. When you're ready to hatch, you can walk out the side door or, more dramatically, crack open the "nose" to create a front porch. The local council in Belgium said the Blob's design didn't meet its building regulations, so the architects turned it into a nonpermanent structure, which is now for sale.
