Nordic home encased within geodesic dome for passive solar

- In 1960 American architect/designer/futurist Buckminster Fuller envisioned building a dome over Manhattan to regulate weather and air pollution. A half-century later, a Danish construction company built a Bucky Fuller-inspired “geodesic” dome in the center of one of Copenhagen’s largest plazas as an experiment in future living: single-family home and mini urban farm included.
“So the thinking of the dome itself and that was also Buckminster Fuller’s idea was: could you live inside a greenhouse,” explains the Dome of Visions founder Martin Manthorpe (of NCC Construction). The Danish dome, designed by architects Kristoffer Tejlgaard and Benny Jepsen, is also meant as a challenge to our conventional ideas on housing: “to explore the idea of the greenhouse as a third space that is both inside and outside at once.”
At a time of increasingly strict regulations for home energy performance, Manthorpe sees the design as an alternative to ultra-thick walls; instead, the greenhouse serves as the “outside” of the wall and the actual wall of the house is “inside.”
The greenhouse was built with overlapping CNC-cut polycarbonate "fish scales." The home inside the greenhouse was designed for a family of 4 and since it’s protected from wind and rain it’s created with a minimum amount of resources and no glue or chemicals.
The geodesic or “omnitriangulated," design popularized (and patented) by Fuller is inherently minimalist. It relies on Fuller’s concept of tensegrity, using tensional integrity (compression and tension) to make an extremely efficient structure that is strong while requiring little material. The Dome of Visions was inspired by the C60 molecule, AKA the “Buckminsterfullerene” or “bucky-ball” (a molecule discovered after Fuller’s death).
Manthorpe sees the Dome of Visions as not only a model for future housing for single families but on a larger scale, perhaps over a multi-family community or a city block. “When you look back in time in Buckminster Fuller’s era, in the sixties, I think that the dome was kind of equal to hippies and I think when that culture or whatever developed I think people forgot the dome and even didn’t think of that as a new way of living. I think it comes up now because we need to think differently when we think about construction and urban and city development.”

i love the concept, im from australia and id love one of these. on hot summer nights id love to be able to lay under that dome in a storm and watch the rain / play some music etc. its almost perfect harmony with nature.
Fantastic channel you've got here Kirsten. Really makes a difference and inspires hope for future architecture and sustainable living. Thanks.
this would bring window cleaning to a whole new level...
Indeed!
Probably scratched up after a few years
Need an army of Roomba for windows
@@AB-wf8ek Depends on the kind of windows.
@@laaaliiiluuu Polycarbonate is very susceptible to scratching
My boyfriend and I saw the dome in Copenhagen two summers ago, and were a little confused what was actually the point of it... It's nice to finally know!
+MissKriekentaart lol, leuke naam :)
I love your videos. this concept is by far one of the best you featured so far. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
30+ Celsius in summer here 90% of the time, can not even watch this without sweating. :D
The term, “you live in a bubble” was my initial thought.
This must be the most exciting futuristic project I have ever seen
Raelly...? You haven't seen anything yet ... I am telling you the meaning of the word futuristic will be redesigned soon....By the way, as you guys can see after 7 or 8 years these futuristic pieces of crap are not even remembered ... I haven't seen any real-life usage nearby so far.... These are good ideas, but they do not practically make sense to purchase. Loving it is a different thing buying it is different...
I've had this idea in my own "thought design sessions". Also, for more dense urban developments, a series of stacked, extremely large platforms that contain a series micro-neighborhoods where homes can be built. These homes also don't need as much protection since the platform provides the basics. The micro-neighborhood gives basic protection from rain and extreme sunlight (or let sun in depending on climate). Maybe it is fully enclosed? Partially?
The neighborhood has no large vehicle traffic. Maybe there is a basement level for deliveries and vehicle parking/reception/departure.
is there a part two to this video? i mean a follow up from, i believe Stockholm?? I would really appreciate that :)
I'm just impressed that their society dedicated a prime piece of real-estate to a highly experimental permaculture, architecture, dome, worker coop, impromptu music venue. In the US that would have never been built; and if it had it would have been a starbucks or mcdonalds with mandatory security guards making sure people didn't jump, climb, or "loiter" around the structure for too long.
Those should be placed on the top of flat roofed urban buildings and used as greenhouses. During the winter the flue gasses from the combustion of natural gas used to make hot water and heat the buildings could be vented into the dome, heating the dome while the combustion gases which are carbon dioxide and water feed the plants. These domes could function as green areas for the buildings tenants to go during winter. Obviously the flue gas inflow and outflow would have to be managed while people use it. Since these structures are relatively light, they may well be able to go on the top of many buildings that had not been designed to take any major loads on the roof or another story.
Love it. It would be great for private individuals that understand the risks involved (making sure the chamber is breathable before you enter it), as a public project, I would be concerned about less intelligent people passing out or dying because they forgot to bring in oxygen before they entered... You could probably figure a failsafe tho... like, when you open the door, it automatically (mechanically, not electronically) opens a hatch in the roof, and then closes it again when you leave... something like that. Great idea tho... utilize the co2 before it even gets to our larger atmosphere...
That sounds like a great idea so long as you have a way to quickly vent the dome for people going into it to work.
Think bigger with 240° angle wedge .Solar Panels clading exterior outer dome and inner dome with air circulation between the two domes creating a chimney effect with water trickling down the exterior in sheets on North side wedge giving evaporative cooling effect.
The North side wedge could have reflective mylar film and LED lights illuminating inside of large geodesic dome. 😎
Might have big problems with off gassing of construction materials and worse, stove gas, propane gas etc. collecting in the confined space. You'd have to rely on sensors and alarms entirely.
Probably uses electric for all that, especially since it requires less heating with this setup. The rest is easily handled with occasional venting.
Great concept, look forward to seeing a dome made from a resin mold that does not need an internal structure!
I realize you would need an airship to transport the product, but let's hope it's an electric one.
A new type of boat house? Where manufacturing and supply would be easier!
I would love to do this NOW. The year round gardens would be a dream. But the cost... can’t imagine it’s for anyone but the rich.
He said it would pay for itself in 6 years of energy saving.
I really dont think that's realistic though.
Plus look at the space the whole thing is taking up, would not get many in our street lol.
The idea would work in some places though I am sure.
Material costs and construction for a dome are really low. There can be loss in material because of the weird angles you have to cut but in general ifs a cheap way to build.
@@pituitarymuffin5423 interesting you say materials are cheap. Don’t know where you are but here in US, lumber has sky rocketed.
@@summerbreeze6441 the idea being that a done uses less materials, albeit with some waste because of the weird cuts
I have remained in love with Geodesic domes for 48 yrs
My 1st reaction to this dome is
seams ?- preventing leaks
Air flow ?- mo openings
Overheating ?- shading
Rectangular door in a geodesic dome ?
But having throwing all that shade; I do like this effort
I would live in this, maybe connecting two additional ones to it as well for gardening and whatnots
I love this house and would live in one like this in a heartbeat.
Domes are the Way to Go!!! I LIKE IT.
I think the only place that takes measuring happiness seriously is the Kingdom of Bhutan, whose monarch declared that it was important and necessary to evaluate the GNH (Gross National Happiness) of the population to see if the policies of the country were working.
If this would be implemented in all countries, I think it would be very benificial to humanity, since greed doesn't make anyone happy (it almost is a medical condition), but does make alot of people unhappy by direct and indirect consequences.
Dubai also has a minister tasked with happiness as his portfolio.
When govt start quantifying HAPPINESS you're looking at fascism. Bhuntan is notoriously a police state same goes for Dubai.
Well done living space, I would certainly love this opportunity to live in a dome environment
I think the hex panels are about 78.6% more disco than the triangular ones you see on other dome designs. The metal structure hubs are also flamboyantly ultradisco , at least 86.4%.
Love the idea, but I suspect it'll be a furnace in summer, even with the apex vent open. The polycarbonate isn't sealed, so it'll leak and drip onto the unprotected building inside. Plus It'll be deafening when it rains. I imagine it pops and creaks a lot in the wind too.
It *is* sealed (required by legislation, "Byggereglementet").
The apex is sufficient for cooling (the chimney effect).
The building is protected. he said that in the video.
The C60 (diamond crystal structure) is *the* strongest structure (he also said that in the video), so it won't pop and creak.
Debunked all your false claims, and assumptions, You're welcome.

Overheating is a MAJOR issue. You need a) a heat pump as A/C in summer and heating in winter, having a chimney in the home (burning any fuel) is problematic or likely impossible (safety - they do not have that). Roof ventilation (opening or closing automatically, if that fails once you can get flood damage if the rain sensor failed or all your plants in the dome (outside the home will die).
AND that airflow(with fans) has to be optimized. Or people get tested designs but if the home owners erect one higher structure in the dome later, it could in theory change the airflow, even huge indoor plants (think winter hardy palms) could.
Hot air moves up, but not always to the very top point - it can stagnate at the side instead of finding its way out. -
and that means also that you are running into problems with the plants indoors.
In winter it is getting quite cold. Not freezing, but you can't sit outside w/o a coat (in milder Netherlands) and if you have plants they must be hardy enough to tolerate it. (heat in summer and quite cool in winter, but then again it gets warm on a sunny winter day).
A heat pump that channels the extra heat of summer into the underground and produces warm water year round. The temperature lift from summer gives an edge when extracting heat for warm water and the heating in winter), we are talking 1 - 2 degrees at most what is possible to add to the temperature underground. BUT that is already a major advantage regarding the "lift".
The problme with that. They still consume some electricity (in winter for runing the heat pump) when it is hard to create it in a renewable manner. Heat pump users in brick and mortar homes often have a night tariff when there is usually some surplus of renewable even in winter (hydro, wind), but they have the MASS to store it. And even then they find it a little uncozy in the evening. A well insulated home does not have a wide range of temperature and can tolerate to use the heat pump in the night, but usually they have a small stove or something to add that little bit to have it toasty.
Should the heat pump not be well designed (the volume of pipes OR the depth which can be a major cost factor if it is hard to dig deep) a heat pump could become an (expensive) electric heating device after the heat reserves of the underground have been depleted for a few years. So if the planner let you down, was incompetent or tried to close the deal with a seemingly lower offer - you will only find out after a few years.
Mild winters can mask that, and rainy summers. The heat deep down regenerates with rain for the most part.
Those heat pumps draw energy from the electric grid when it is not possible to get enough heat from underground. That is a safety feature for extreme cold snaps. Or they do that often if the heat pump planner cut corners and the area with the pipes is not large or deep enough.
It is a trick to make the offer appear to be cheaper than that of the competition. The heat is regnerated by rain (which means the area must be able to let in rain, even lawn is not ideal, gravel or excellent soil with some plants on it would be. You cannot dig over that area, not sure if you can drive over it. If the installation is not sufficient, the home owners will deplete the heat that is in the underground (fairly constant temperatures - globally btw, there is not that much difference 1.5 m - 2 down whether you are in Texas or Denmark in the summer). After a few years the home owners will realize that the planner sold them a bill of goods.
Of course if you funnel excessive unwanted summer heat inside the dome into the soil that changes the equation. And the A/C for the dome is not such a waste of energy (and that is energy that can be produced with a solar panel. When they need the cooling they are also going to have a solar harvest, demand meets production ideally, which cuts out the need for batteries. A part of the energy used for cooling is returned in winter. You lose plenty for the work of the pump. But with some luck it is 60 % efficiency and the energy was plentyful when it was invested.
I would also have concerns if there is any flooding - from outside into the dome, (weather, or the plates break),
or a plumbing issue inside the home. If the wood is produced without glue if will suffer more damage. I do not think the gluing is that much of a cost factor. The standard boards are glued, that is a process that is automated. They boards w/o the glue are the boutique product with the small production volume - so no economy of scale so far.
wood glue is safe (at least what they use in the European Union), so no problem with gasing out of volatiles.
A well insulated wood burning setup outside the dome (but not too close to the house and insulated pipes underground) could be the solution to have a wood furnace. That tiny shed would have a water tank inside that provides warm water for heating and for use. That tank is used summer and winter the source of heat varies however. Even a small and cheap thermal solar panel could be added to get even more heat into the underground.
I saw a video from Netherlands, that was a provisory project from an university, and the builders were the students (under the guidance of a professor). Not under a dome but excessive amount of transparent foil. They ran out of money in the end so the roof is only foil. They have a woodstove and sometimes ash comes out of the chimney and burns little holes into the foil.
That experimental home overheats, and in winter they need the coat to sit outside (but they like that anyway).
Now - Netherlands has midler temperatures than Denmark in winter.
1. The main question to address here is not whether or not this can be done but if you can get the price down to a point where most homeowners can afford it.
2. If those windows are plexiglass, I would be concerned about them fogging up over the years. Glass might be better but also more expensive.
3. This takes way more surface area than an apartment complex. I would be concerned with the amount of urban sprawl and consequent increased driving it would cause.
This is not to say that geodesic domes over homes are not a good idea; they seem really neat for a niche group of people whose circumstances permit them, but I do not think that they are a panacea of any sort.
I'll gladly test a living in such a house *nods*
A dome like that would be nice as long as you do not live where the temperature gets into the high 90's to low 100's F. during the summer and you do not get regular hail storms and catagory 1 hurricane winds a few times a year. Texas Panhandle weather can be interesting.
As you scale up a geodesic dome the materials must be stronger to support its own weight, trusses need to be thicker, bolts heavier, etc. This also adds cost to the structure which increases with the surface area of the dome. The surface area of a dome also increases at 2x the diameter of the living area. So, I’m curious at what size does the material cost of the structure outweigh the benefits of it?
This is similar to what I am designing to cover my entire yard and home.
Why has this not been used in our world, mankind is so slow to learn!!
Why, check out the state of dome experiment now.
So if you ever get a chance to come to St. Louis MO we have a place called the Botanical garden and the have one of these that house all kinds of plants. If I ever owned a plot of land I would build one.
This is a great idea, I want one for my family!!!!!
Thought: Put a fan/generator at the hot air outlet at the top of the roof to generate dc electricity. That dc electricity could be utilized to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, of which could be stored, then utilized in a hydrogen fuel cell to get the electricity back with a by-product of basically pure water, which could be re-split, etc.
Amazing project.Great video. I would like to know the conclusions ,after more then 2 years experience, is this a enviroment to daily living and how expensiv can it be a new one.
This is the most sufficient way to protect your homes from tornadoes. They will have no effect. No more destruction in the mid west usa
It's a beautiful structure.
This is epic, going to be investing
Great Bucky!
The big question is how much would this cost? It's an excellent idea but if its too expensive to adopt then it doesn't help much.
That's actually one of the best aspects of geodesic domes. They cover the most amount of space with the least amount of materials, so it's cheaper. Also, the shape is more efficient at regulating temperature, so you save on heating bills. Now, all the high-tech stuff they put inside is another story.
@ That's it. You answered your own question perfectly. Thanks for clarifying.
well, ill go for something like that in time. this thing is soundproof, let alone there could be a purification unit for the air, and with all this outer surface, you can even gather water
Wouldn't it be warmer inside if only one side had windows facing the winter sun? That Dome is losing a lot of heat out of the shaded side. And could be cooler in the summer..
Could you paint the bolts and hardware on the polycarbonate panels with a gloss white enamel paint so they blend in better.
How about a double layer--a dome inside a dome--for additional insulation and rain shedding. Then, the additional structures inside can be very low cost.
Put one of those in Phoenix. 200 degrees in the shade.🔥
I want to live there!
Good for live and make grow something to heat in Greenland, this.
You can have more captation with an other dôme on this dôme,
Put a vacuum between, and live in a thermos bottle.
How do they clean the inside and outside of the dome? If the outside does not collect dust in the desert it will collect tree pollen in the temperate areas.
I'd be mostly concerned about the number of endocrine disruptors you'd be absorbing living inside of a plastic bubble that is being degraded by UV sunlight every day and off gassing phalates constantly. Count me out!
thats a pretty cool idea.
gratefull to you for all this work, helpfull
The idea is amazing! I'd love to have such stucture of my own house, but the area I live in is so windy. The question is how to wash all that glass materal when it gets dirty by dust and sorry for word, birds poo?)))
so amazing!!!!!
Good afternoon, tell me how the outer dome is calculated relative to the frame? At what distance to install studs and stuff?
I would live in one, nice.
Imagine that in cities where there are "grafitti artists".
All I see is the mold and mildew that will accrue where all of the attachments are.
I need this! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It is my dream to live in something like that.
If you lived there and someone took a stinky poop... you're doomed. Awesome ventilation.
Im not sure I'd actually want my house inside a green house lol something about having a sky to look at when I step outside is nice lol. A domed green house for growing food and stuff is not a bad idea but I wouldn't want to live in it.
I think ideas like this are best for dry arid regions.
what about maintainments ....condensation? ....i see forming of green life growing on edges of plates of greenhouse ....i've been thinking about these designs over a decade and and that was one of biggest things on my mind to consider ....long term problems when u put in plants
And what is polycarbonate made from?
Polycarbonate? Say plastic, it is not like plastic is a bad thing, it just will not last.
+MrMakabar Polycarbonate is one of the most robust and weatherproof plastics, ideal for outdoors
Jeff Harmed
15years is not great for constructing a city size structure. Light can be really bad.
+MrMakabar
You raise a far point of durability.
+MrMakabar Many a urban and suburban roof will only last 20 to 25 years. The complexity of replacing the roof of a standard family housing is more complicated than twisting a few bolts loose and changing some plastic hexagons.
With the appropriate ladder device and cleaner, it serves to reason a family could perform sectional maintenance every few years and keep those plastic hexagons serviceable for decades. By rotating the southern hexs to the northern side, while cleaning each hex between each move, the dependability and lifetime will far exceed current roof construction standards. The bolted-hex method also allows the average person an easier self-repair should it be needed.
We have had polycarbonate in conservatories for years and it only requires replacement because the surface becomes opaque. However, a little elbow grease and polishing compound can repair the damage and add a few more years to the lifespan.
Cool, but unworkable for most homeowners. Dome glazing durability, keeping it water-tight, and keeping it clean are extremely difficult chores (check out the algae in the glazing seams). Next: Keeping the house from cooking in the summer -- and finally there's the cost... The concrete footings, dome structure, and Lexan glazing we see here would cost at least $100k just for the materials -- way more than any conventional weather-tight home exterior, insulation, and solar heating system. Want a greenhouse? -- build one for $5k in your back yard.
Just curious to know how the dome functions under heavy snow load with those polycarbonate panels?
+ottawadigs Like an igloo
I would love to live at a place like this. How much does it cost?
The dome could be the house. Big inside means mansion style luxury.
I like that idea--what about storms and tornadoes? What kind of wind force is it able to withhold?
We don't have tornadoes in Denmark.
There had been one: It plowed through a barn. From being created to it died: It moved about 20 meters or so, and was a few metres wide ( 1 meter is about 3 ft)
This is literally thinking outside the box.
Imagine a Dome so big as New York city with a artificial Sun
Love this!!!
Do they make these that are bear proof? If i wanted to go off grid with one and build a dugout ,cabin in it then i would also need at least the 1st 10feet above ground ot be strong enough to stop a bear from breaking threw it? Are there materials that would work for this ,that can be supplied?
Thanks to faircompanies.
can this be build for a customer in Southern Europe? What would be the total cost to build house and dome?
i wonder how many work it takes to keep the policarbonate cover fairly clean and clear, inside and out, looks fancy but not practical
Read or watch "The Giver."
When it snows... How does that work?
Does anybody by chance know the price of just this dome without the house inside (just materials and construction worktime)? I love it a lot! In Iceland there is a family already living in such a thing for years...
Interesting as our entire world is under a dome also known as the firmament
His superhero name would be upper inflection man
Perfect!
As a glass guy , in my opinion the use of polycarbonate is a terrible choice, show us what it looks like in about 3 to 5 years when its all yellowed up. Should have be glass, more expensive but last way longer as far as clarity goes.
C60 is not the diamond structure. The diamond structure is repeating tetrahedrons
Impressive home, but I would much rather have a city dome.
How much does the polycarbonate and the metal supports cost for the 10.500 size dome?
very interesting.... but the cost is an issue....
+daniel saint-martin how much did it cost?
What about fire safety? Here, one lives in a flammable structure within another flammable structure with only one escape route.
Where you guys moving this Dome? I have a 2 Acre self sustainable farm on the Big Island of Hawaii, you guys welcome to come put here and stay for a while 😂😂😂 Aloha 🤙🏾
Hello, do the Polycarbpnate covers constitute a frequency 5 dome?
timber frame is 4v, the polycarbonate covering is 12v
How maintenance heavy is the cleaning of the dome, does it get very dirty over a year? And how much did it cost to construct the dome? That's probably not cheap or something you can do on your own.
There is already alega growing at joints on dome, that will spread...will need power wash at some point....
SolarizeYourLife Yeah, i was also concerned about that
wonder what they've learned about this place over the past 8 years. follow up?
What is the temperature in winter with just heating inside the villa area?
Imagine this with photovoltaic cells built into the panes, with reflectivity controlled by electricity, so that in the Summer it can repel heat and in the winter it can absorb it.
+Anton Seim That is what I was thinking. If you did this in the desert, you would need aggressive temp control. If you had fresh air intakes at the bottom of the dome that ran underground for a good distance ( in a grid or coil pattern with multiple levels) to come up to an outside pipe/vent, would the air be cooled enough to bring down summer temperatures when the top was opened?
The idea being that it would be a passive system requiring no power other than the roof vent mechanism.
Couple that with light control. Controlling the amount of light would be key but you would have to balance that out with the light (PAR) needs of the plants in the dome. If that could be mastered inexpensively, you could have mini farms under domes growing food year round in most places on the planet.
+leifcatt I think you're on to something :)
Anton & liefcatt... Thinking they say is the best way to travel... Moody Blues said that or was it Lebowski? Given the way my 401k has been bouncing forward and backward... There'd be no shame in buying shares in such technology. -gilpin 8-7-16
Survivalist dream house: A dome like this that could survive a hurricane
Too bad they didn't install a climate battery underneath the dome, Then, heating and cooling would be controlled by just a thermostat and a couple fans.
I would like to see rainwater collection to use the rain that falls for watering plants and washing bathing etc
That would be easy enough: you'd just need a gulley around the perimeter of the dome's base and a reservoir or two for it all to drain into. No ugly guttering or plastic drain pipe needed.
Trough around the edge, fill it with a French Drain, then top it off with pea gravel. All water that hits the dome is collected in the drain pipe and taken to an underground cistern. Easy.

Polycarbonate degrades in sunlight in a process called “crazing”. It becomes discolored and brittle. There would be a lot of additional costs in maintenance just in a 15 year lifecycle.
A don’t you think buckminster fuller would have thought of this ?
Surely, modern materials science has solved that problem by now?
@@gedofgont1006 Sure, material science has fixed this...by making something else, not polycarbonate based. There's a certain point where the material itself is the problem. We probably won't see drinking water that doesn't freeze for example.
@@gormauslander exactly
@@wangfire7736 everything man made exposed to the sun degrades over time. As for new materials it takes time in the field to discover things like flaws in the manufacturing process and other factors not taken in by the engineers.
LOL, "without glue, no chemicals" standing right next to sheets of plywood :D
Yes with a plastic dome made from oil. Bwahahahaha. Typical leftist, loves wood floors but doesn't want to cut down a tree.
Hes obviously talking generally about not having to use treated lumber for the bulk of the building. Stop nitpicking.
@@onZampie Hes speaking so generally, that I might end up eating plywood or OSB :) I doubt that from practical standpoint, like termites, ants and fungus care. Also geodesic dome or not, you still have dew point condensation from air humidity.
@@Tachikomaster This idea that wood will rot immidiatley just by being exposed to some humidity is false. There are untreated wooden structures that have survived hundreds of years without any dome. Some moisture and dew isnt going to do anything as long as the wood gets to dry out which wont be a problem inside of a warm dome. Also this isnt a how to video. He doesnt need to explain every little detail so that people at home can follow along. He is giving an overview of a long project. Putting things simply by saying "no chemicals" in refference to most of the wood is completely understandable and most people will get what he means. Its about the context of the sentence. He was saying that because the house is covered from the elements it doesnt need chemical treatment. Its pretty obvious what he means by that statement.
from someone who owns a greenhouse dome; you should have built the frame with steel. The wood will rot from the humidity.
Steel wil rust and the outside is some sort of metal
Would it not depend on the type of wood? Some wooden boats have lasted hundreds of years.
There is an Asian flame treatment that makes it more hydrophobic as well as insect repellent.
@@nathanxxvii The wood looks cool after you flame treat.
Presumably, your greenhouse is glass and not polycarbonate? - Also you can see that the polycarbonate is separated from the structure by 'stand-offs'
