dome homes have many structural
advantages and have been built around
the world in varied climates these have
proven to be a stable and efficient form
of shelter with a natural resistance to
external factors like earthquakes high
winds and flowing water this is Glenn
and today we are bringing you 15 domes
and dome suites for living and relaxing

geodesic dome covered in copper colored
ranky aluminum shakes if you would like

designer Patrick marsilii proposed a
revolutionary solar structure for dome
space by Sol alia a dome house that can
resist winds up to 150 miles per hour
and could also withstand an earthquake
up to eight on the Richter scale erected
over an elastomeric belt and raised off
the ground on a concrete pedestal that
is solidly anchored to a steel ring gear
there is no contact with the ground and
these are ideal for lands that are
typically harder to develop and build on
these are built with 100% ecologically
certified wood that has no harmful
chemicals large bay windows a central
chimney that disperses heat evenly
throughout the home and no penetrating
humidity there are three models
including the harmonic the eclosion and
the transit all in wide ranging sizes
number 13 located in the heart of the
Swiss Alps the white pod echo luxury
Motel opened in 2004 and it aims to
prove that environmental preservation
and hospitality can coexist to create a
positive unique and quality experience
white pod has limited motorized

of water and energy recycles all waste
that is created and all pods are heated
by a pellet stove in the lodge you can

twelve dome of visions in Gothenburg is
a cooperation project between NCC the
owner of the building and the concept
chal burns Volvo Group and Lindemann
Science Park the building was previously
located in Stockholm from 2015 until
2017 and is now in Gothenburg the
architect Christopher tell guard was
inspired by architect Buckminster Fuller
who had far-reaching plans to build the
central parts of Manhattan in New York
City under a dome in the 1960s this is
made of transparent plastic and wood
with a height of approximately 33 feet
and a diameter of more than 65 feet the
interior building behind the show was
designed by Stefania Taniya a master
student at the kth architecture school
and her minecraft inspired house that
first prize in the architectural
competition
number eleven the purl a passive solar
structure is designed by David francha
and has numerous advantages the roof
shape along with the use of thick wooden
arches gives the structure resistance
against high winds and earthquakes was
designed with both the sun's daily and
year-round course in mind takes
advantage of the sun's benefits when
needed and protects it from the sun's
heat when necessary large bay windows in
the front of the house take full
advantage of the sun's heat in the
winter while the adaptive roof will keep
the inside cooler during the hotter
summer months in climbing solar panels
help to provide shade when necessary
maximize solar energy and make the
structure more energy efficient number
10 custom geodesic dwell domes by
Pacific domes can hold snow wind and
rain with insulation wood stove and
climate control options making them a
perfect shelter for all seasons the
geodesic dome is used by environmentally
conscious homeowners eco resorts
retreats and many yoga studios depending
on the size of the dome you can create a
place of meditation or build a classroom
while utilizing the subtle vibrations
within the architecture of the dome to
complement the philosophy of spiritual
harmony and physical well-being
number nine natural spaces domes mini
dome is the dome answer to tiny houses
the cost of the basic mini dome kit is
just under $20,000 but to build a
complete dome and shell kit it will run
you between sixty and seventy five
thousand dollars number eight by odomes
a company based in korea romania can
build geodesic dome homes anywhere in
the european union or outside the EU
depending on the project biodomes
designs and creates custom one-of-a-kind
glass metal and concrete geodesic domes
their brand new patented technology
offers the highest quality dome homes
from both the aesthetic and structural
point of view number seven econo dome
offers custom prefab building frame kits
of assorted designs new round and dome
home technology and they do the
computing and precision compound cutting
for you the standard phase for dome
design may be fitted with arched trim
boards above the doors and windows
this designs accent trim also acts as a
reign canal to control rainwater flowing
over the surface of the dome the phase 3
dome is a home kit with larger and fewer
triangles this frame kit is more
complicated difficult to complete and do
the necessary extensions at the
perimeter for doors and windows it
involves more on-site custom work number
6 located on the slopes of ole multi
volcano in a mountain forest the
highlands camp in tanzania consists of 8
dome suites visitors can drive through
the conservation area which is home to
buffalo zebra elephants and leopards

or descend into the Angora un'goro
crater from camp each suite comes with a
king-size bed luxurious bathroom with
hot water and flush toilets and huge bay
windows overlooking the
serengeti the eco-friendly camp collects
rainwater off tents and employs a full
solar plant to minimize its ecological
footprint the geodesic domes are also
efficient because they're spherical
shape results in more even airflow and
less surface area to make them less
susceptible to cold or heat number five

reinforced eco elegant high quality low
cost air crete dome home with your own
hands from scratch
during a level-one 10-day workshop you
will meet new people from around the

number four a Norwegian family has built
a dome made of toughened glass and
aluminum around their off-grid house
which is made entirely from a cob which
is a mixture of sand clay and straw in
the Arctic Circle located on sand horny
island North Norway the 25 foot high
dome has a diameter of 50 feet is made
up of 360 glass panels and shields the
entire house allowing the family to grow
their own fruit and vegetables inside

and take nutrients from it Benjamin and
Ingrid adopted her to folder which means
heart followers as their family name and

various internal functions and indirect
lighting all the wood used for the
interior facade and flooring is
local-grown Douglas pine number two
built by mark and Valerie Sigler the
dome of a home is located on Pensacola
Beach Florida and is an incredible
monument of dome design and construction
this is six thousand square feet and
provides spectacular views of the Gulf
of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound the home
features advanced construction and
design techniques to help defend against
the forces of nature since the house was
built and has been through two
hurricanes and a tropical storm and has
survived each one

by Viking dumbs they're made of
polycarbonate hexagons panels that are
connected by tiny screws are 100%
transparent and UV resistant these will
hold up to any kind of weather including
rain wind and snow this frameless dome
has glass doors with locks made of
tempered glass is well ventilated with
tiny gaps between plates allowing it to
breathe without letting in water and
this will remain stable in high winds
