It's not a tiny house (not even close) but I think MR will like this.
Currently completing construction. It's the largest spherical building in the world, some 300 feet (100m) tall. Designed to be a venue for the biggest and most elaborate shows, both the interior and external surface of the Sphere are giant computer-driven LED screens. The largest and highest resolution LED screens in the world. They say that it is designed to hold up to 18,000 people and provide them a totally immersive experience. There will be thousands of speakers and the experience will feature scent and wind.
It will probably take considerable artistic creativity to figure out how best to use something like this. They say that they have a studio in Burbank California called MSG Sphere Studios working on the creative aspects. The studio has its own 100 foot LED sphere to try out concepts.
It was supposed to be completed in 2021, but covid lockdowns delayed it. It's set to officially open to an extended engagement by U-2 doing their first concerts since 2019. These will be 25 concerts over a period from September 29, 2023 to December 16, 2023.
The Sphere was testing the external LEDs on Saturday July 1 (video in the tweet below) --- mind boggling I must say! (It looks like my imagination pictures a Black Hole.) Tested in daylight but very bright, colorful and visible. Unlike most architecture, the reality is much better than the artists conception drawings. If I saw this, it would be a "Holy Crap!" moment for sure! This is 21'st century architecture!!

They say that they have plans to build more of these Spheres. The second one, identical to this Vegas one, is planned for some already selected site in east London.
