Dai Haifei, a 24-year-old architect in Beijing, China, found an ingenious solution to live rent-free. He built himself a mobile egg-shaped house that is powered by the sun. 

The 6-foot-high structure, which is small enough to fit on a sidewalk, is made of bamboo strips, wood chippings, sack bags, and grass seed                    that’s expected to grow in the spring.
The pod features a solar panel on the roof that powers a                  lamp in the cozy space. The house cost around$1,000                       to build (6427 yen), according to China Daily.
It seems Haifei has taken the trend of living in tiny spaces                   to a whole new level.
