Unique Building Which Looks Like Fabergé Egg
A building in Moscow has the unique shape and design which
makes it look like a giant Fabergé egg.
The white base of the building is designed like an egg cup and the windows and the skylight
on the top look like jewel work of the Fabergé egg. Exterior walls of the Egg decorated with ceramic
tiles. The top dome is made of copper and interior of the dome is beautifully
painted
This unique design was brain-child of architect Sergei Tkachenko
and art dealer Marat Gelman. They had originally proposed such a design
for a building in Israel but it was not accepted there. A smaller scaled down
version was then built in Moscow in 2002, as an annexe to a new apartment
building. The egg has 5 rooms spread over 4 floors. First 3 floors have a height
of 32.3 meters and topmost floor is 4.5 metes high. The house has its own
underground parking designed for 4 cars.
