卵型房屋是Gregory Orekhov的最新的作品，以卵的形态，模拟一个在自然环境中工作和独处的活细胞，在逻辑上完成了艺术家的循环。

Ovoid house is the latest work by artist Gregory Orekhov, dedicated to the form of an ovoid. A living cell for work and solitude in a natural environment logically completes the artist’s cycle.

“这个项目是应我女儿阿加莎的要求而诞生的。她梦想拥有自己的户外剧场，但所有可供选择的房屋都显得乏味或不尽如人意。于是我有了自己创造一个椭圆形房屋的想法。在画草图的过程中，信心压到了自我怀疑。卵形房子实际上是所有年龄段的人的私人避风港，因为我们都时不时需要与外界隔离。” ——Gregory Orekhov

“This project came into being at the request of my daughter Agatha. She dreamt of her own outdoor playhouse, yet all the classic options seemed dull or inappropriate. Then I got the idea to create a four faced, oval-shaped house. While in the process of drawing sketches, doubts gave way to confidence as a result. Ovoid house is a personal haven for people of all ages, as we all seek isolation from time to time.” - Gregory Orekhov

就建筑和比例而言，卵形是一种完美的形式，没有丝毫多余。它是几百万年前由大自然创造的，它是自给自足的，是完整的。同时，鸡蛋是最古老的宗教符号，是新的开始、重生和无限的视觉形象。它本身就是一个新生命的缩影，它代表了一个缩影的宇宙，一个脆弱外壳中的整个世界。一旦进入，人们就有机会体验“出生前的生活”，发现自己在一个外表脆弱但坚固的结构的保护下，保持着原始的寂静，而当今大城市的居民则被剥夺了这种结构。该项目结合了直接的实用功能，以及Orekhov多年来一直在使用的形式的新的大规模体现。

An ovoid is a perfect form in terms of architecture and proportion, there is nothing superfluous about it. Created by nature some millions of years ago, it is self-sufficient, complete. At the same time, the egg is the most ancient religious symbol, a visual image of a new beginning, rebirth and infinity. It embodies in itself a microcosm of a new life, it represents a universe in miniature, a whole world in a fragile shell. Once inside, one gets the opportunity to experience “life before birth”, to find oneself under the protection of an outwardly fragile, but solid structure in pristine silence, which inhabitants of present-day mega cities are deprived of. The project combines a direct utilitarian function, alongside a new large-scale embodiment of the form with which Orekhov has been working for many years.

“My Egg”系列的第一个雕塑出现在2016年，奥列霍夫在那里对熟悉的卵形进行了不同的诠释；它获得了四个方面和一个新的艺术体现。名为Ovoid House的活细胞建立在相同的原则上。有些人不愿在没有角的圆形空间里逗留，但四面体卵形变成了一种较容易接受的形式；易于探索和熟悉。

The first sculpture from the “My Egg” series appeared in 2016, where Orekhov gave the familiar egg shape a different interpretation; it received four facets and a new artistic embodiment. The living cell titled Ovoid House is built upon the same principle. Some might find it difficult to be in a round space devoid of angular corners, yet the tetrahedral ovoid becomes an understandable form accessible and familiar to a person.

这个项目的完成耗时一年。卵形房屋由数百个胶合板层层叠叠而成。它们在内部形成一个阶梯表面，而墙壁只有30毫米厚；楼上的窗户用于空气交换和自然光。为了进入里面，必须爬上不锈钢制成的台阶。卵形的形状不仅在视觉上是完美的，而且在建筑上也是完美的：尽管外部脆弱，但结构却具有令人难以置信的强度。

It took a year for the completion of this project. The ovoid-shaped house is assembled from hundreds of plywood lamellas stacked one after another. Inside they form a stepped surface, while the walls are only 30 mm thick; the window upstairs is used for air exchange and natural light. In order to get inside one will have to climb up steps made of stainless steel. The shape of the ovoid is perfect not only visually, but also architecturally: despite the external fragility, the structure has incredible strength.
