    Friends owned a dome that I had an opportunity to stay in for a few weeks. Their dome was built differently. The dome sat on 4' tall risers so standard furniture placed against the wall was not an issue. Also it had a very nice loft. Several room additions were 'mini' domes. The dome was located in California and survived several earthquakes with nothing more than a few minor cracks in drywall joints.

    Keep in mind, what you showed was a studio apartment. Studio apartments, by definition, don't have separate bedrooms. They're designed for one person to live in, not for a family with small kids. If you go on their website, you'll see that this particular model is designed to be rented by the week for people who, for whatever reason, can't come up with the first month/last month/one-month deposit most "real" apartments require. While you may be able to rent a motel room per week for that price, the motel owner is not likely to provide the references you need when getting a better place to live; and when you're looking for a job it doesn't help when your mailing address is "Outcrop Motel Room 12"

    I have been to the Monolithic Institute a couple of times now. I wasn't sold on them until entering one they were just building in the middle of Texas summer. You could feel at least a 10 degree drop in temp with only one window open. The other wonderful thing about them is they are sound proof. A dirt bike went right by the 24' dome we were touring and we never heard it. We saw it through the window. The Orion which is also on site but occupied was built with vertical walls as an experiment. I was about to tour it and it turned out well. If you know you are passing though you use to could call ahead and set up a tour for the other homes. The last time we were there they were experimenting with how to keep the air within the dome clean since they are so air tight. Essentially they are created as a hollow rock. The sides are so strong you can suspend the second floor from the wall without a support wall underneath. Yes, the curved walls have always been a design challenge for me as well. My dream is one day to have not only a monolithic dome home but a barn as well for all our critters. It is cool and warm as well as weather resistant. People have built them after their homes were destroyed by hurricane in the coastal areas. They are allowed to stay in them during evacuations because they are so safe. In California there are homes in the wildfire areas. Residents leave their homes unlocked for the firefighters to take refuge if needed as they are also fire proof. What can I say, I love the Monolithic Domes. - HHH

    These structures are built much better than the typical Tiny Home. They can have a taller stem wall added and then you could build a loft. However, that's not what these are about. They're plenty tall enough and spacious enough for their intended use. There is little to no maintenance. An order of magnitude stronger than tiny homes. And will outlast a tiny home by decades. There are other sizes as well. The IO-24 is a bit bigger. These can be made in almost any dimension. BTW: The air form is blown up. Then 3 inches of closed cell foam is sprayed on. Then 3 inches of 5000 psi shotcrete is sprayed over the foam. It's a system that can & withstand the tests of time.

With a larger than expected linen storage in the bathroom. I've been in these before and they would be great for one person or even two adults with limited personal items. As your living, dining, kitchen and bedroom are all in the same room.

    Good video. I went to the dome building school there back in 2000. I've built over 50 domes since then and I agree, those 20 footers are too small for more than just a couple starting out, unless you order the airform with a stem wall. That's just when they add more airform material so the dome wall goes up straight and flat for as high as you want. My first rentals I built were four 26 foot wide domes which are 530sf but with a stem wall that was flat for 17 feet. That gave me 8 foot flat walls on both the first and second floor with one foot for a joist for a floor and ceiling. When done I had 8 one bedroom rentals that I got $155 a week each for with everything included, and all four domes I built for about $160,000 MY COST. Now I'm planning on building larger domes for rental. They will be 86 foot wide and three floors and just over 17,400sf and will have 15 rentals in each dome. These will be like Gary Clark's brick dome on the left, you seen when you first went in, a brick wall all the way up with just a dome airform on top. It "LOOKS" more normal and fits in better so to speak in big cities. It looks like a round brick building. Keep up the great work.

    At monolithic.com, they have an engineering analysis for survival of their designs at 300 mph winds. Many people have an aversion to round homes. Underground is good. Monolithic domes can be directly buried and provide that insulation necessary, since the sub-soil, constant temperature in North America (usually about the average of the above ground temps) is colder than most of us like.

    The reason they have these little houses is for people to try out the monolithic domes before they build their own. I agree on the design, it is not very efficient with space...which is a big deal in a tiny house. The main reason we are showing these domes is to alert people in tornado and hurricane prone areas to the fact that these round houses don't get destroyed by high winds or flooding. Trying to give people an alternative to expensive stick built that go down in a storm. We have looked into tiny homes and the cost is what keeps us from doing it. We would have to buy a good truck for about $20,000. Even building the tiny house ourselves we would be in about $20,000 if you include the special trailers and appliances. We have a hard time spending $40,000 combined for a tiny space that would be a long term living space when we have two kids that are always up and active...the RV living has been an adventure but I think we are ready for more square footage now.

    In Santa Barbara, Ca,. where i live, this would be a dream for anyone homeless. I would’ve given my right arm for a place like this after my layoff. Depends where you live i guess.

    @@panthera50 could not touch a shed for that price here. I do think it is a set up to fail at the price they are asking. We lived in a kitchenette for awhile. it had a seperate bedroom. small living room kit. tiny b/r did have a shower. 750.$ per month. I think that is to high priced.

    I want one of these in the Sierra's, but three connected , one for the kitchen/laundry, one for the living room, and one for a bedroom , my old house is falling apart. I'd need a fire place that's for sure . I absolutely love em 😍 they're actually really cute .

    Actually dome construction doesn't require government funding it requires the government getting out the way. When your home exceeds code in every way why do we have code? Folks can't get domes usually because of funding banks refuse to lend to a product that has not no local examples. I rather see homes that cost the same to build but last 500 years than houses that have to be replaced every 70 years if you are lucky. We all know why they don't want dome homes. The disaster industry would collapse, all the people that normally evacuate for hurricane would just stay home and all that fuel usually burned would not get burnt. Hotel industry would suffer know how many hotels the government buys for displaced resident? The house builders love it they build a house it is destroyed by storm they rebuild it some have had their homes rebuilt 2 times in the last 10 years around LaPlace LA. If they lived in dome homes the homes structure would be just as strong as the day they were built.
