Geodesic Dome Design and Construction
Steel, Glass and Concrete Geodesic Domes
Custom Geodesic dome homes
We’re a team of architects, builders and artists that are passionate about creating the best domes in the world!
We design and build custom geodesic domes that bring together beauty, strength, and sustainability. Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy dome home, a sleek glass structure, or a durable steel and concrete design, we’re here to make it happen!
Why Geodesic Domes?
Geodesic domes are more than just eye-catching; they're incredibly strong, energy-efficient, and perfect for those who love unique living spaces. With their distinctive design, they offer natural light, open spaces, and great insulation, making them a fantastic choice for eco-conscious living.
Advantages of dome homes
Strength and Durability: Geodesic domes are incredibly strong and can withstand extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow, high winds, and earthquakes. Energy Efficiency: The unique shape promotes natural airflow and even heat distribution, reducing energy costs for heating and cooling. Open and Spacious Feel: The dome's design allows for high ceilings and open floor plans, creating a bright and airy living space.
Pollux glass dome
Completed dome
With a diameter of 5 meters and a height of 3 meters above ground and a total height of 5.5 meters due to its below ground interior. All features are custom made, done to customer specifications, starting from the round door that provides excelent ventilation during summer, the stone walls that act as thermal mass during winter and the round grass steps that provide a very comfortable and green entrance.

We can combine and merge domes in many different ways
Geodesic domes - The Sustainable House of the Future
The patented technology that we use enables us to offer the highest quality dome homes, from both the structural and aesthetic point of view. The materials we use are the most modern steel and aluminum alloys, toughened laminated security glass that can be single, double or triple glazed, with various options for transparency or mirror finish, low-E and different types of coatings and we can even use Smart Glass technology. Our unique green roof earth sheltered geodesic dome homes can be insulated to the highest passive house standards and we can merge and combine different types and sizes of domes in order to create truly unique and futuristic looking dome homes. The geodesic dome homes that we build require a foundation and are non-movable structures that can't be assembled from a kit. Our company handles every aspect of the construction process and the end result is far superior to any other dome house on the market.
Aside from their natural beauty, dome homes also have many structural advantages. Geodesic dome homes have been built around the world in varied climates and have proven to be the strongest and most efficient human shelter ever conceived. Geodesic domes are the strongest, lightest and most efficient means of enclosing space known to man, they are extremely strong for their weight due to their omnitriangulated surface that provides an inherently stable structure, with a natural resistance to external factors like earthquakes up to 8.5 on the Richter scale , winds up to 320 km/h due to the aerodynamic shape and loads up to 20 tones per point of structure.
Geodesic dome homes
Earth sheltered, green roof geodesic domes that can be insulated to passive house standards.
Our goal is to create structures whose function is as important as their form, buildings that are beautiful and functional at the same time. Earth sheltered, glass geodesic domes represent the ultimate sustainable passive eco homes of the future and the timeless design and alluring aesthetics of geodesic domes offer unsurpassed versatility, they can be designed as ultra modern passive eco-homes, recreational spaces, indoor pools, glamping and luxury resorts, greenhouses, stellar observatories - the possibilities are endless.
Ceti Dome Project
Partially glazed domes are ideal for a residence, as the structurally insulated panels can be used instead of glass panels.
Top 10 facts about domes
1.Dome homes are the strongest human shelter ever conceived. The spherical and symetrical shape allows domes to evenly and efficiently distribute the weight and stress along the entire structure.
2.Dome homes are the world's highest earthquake resistant structures. And they dont require any interior load bearing walls.Shake Table Test Shows the Dome Shape is Virtually Earthquake-Proof
3.Dome homes are aerodynamic. They can withstand hurricane winds in excess of 320 km/h.
4.Dome homes are the most efficient structures known to man, covering the most living area with the least amount of surface area.
5.Because of the high volume-to-surface-area ratio dome homes have at least 30% less surface area than other shaped buildings. That means it takes at least 30% less energy to heat or cool them.
6.The spherical design of a dome house results in highly efficient and effective air circulation. The ambient airflow inside the dome house is continuous, with no stagnant corners, requiring less energy to circulate air and maintain even temperatures.
7.Dome homes mirror the suns path thus maximizing solar gain all day, all year.
8.Some of the largest buildings in the world are domes; London’s millennium dome and the Eden domes were record breakers when they were built. The Miyazaki Ocean Dome in Japan is known as the world's largest indoor water park (300m-100m-38m).
9.Dome homes use less materials than conventional buildings and still outperform them in structural tests.
10.The larger the dome house, the more efficient it becomes. This is demonstrated by doubling the diameter, which encloses eight times the volume.
FAQs
Yes, our domes require a concrete foundation, so that makes them permanent structures. However in special circumstances we can use pilon foundation and the steel frame can be disassembled in order to qualify for a non-permanent structure.
Prices start from 2000 euros per square meter. For a more exact price offer, please book a 30min video call with one of our team members.
Unfortunately we can not, our domes can not be sold as DIY kits. The on-site build is complex and requires our team and specialized equipment.
Yes, we can build domes anywhere in the world, however the size of the project will determine if it's feasible for us.
Between 6 and 12 months for a medium 10meter diameter dome house. But it depends on the project details.
Our architectural design services start from 10.000 euros and can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project.
We are located in Carei, Romania.
