I saw a similar dome home at the 1982 Worlds Fsir at Knoxville Tennessee, USA. The theme was on energy. The construction method was different, but energy efficiency was incredible. Love the design.
I love this because the possibilities are endless in terms of usage. I would use them for senior citizen assisted living units by making the larger unit the main hub and then using the smaller ones to house 2 to 3 people each. The rooms would be monitored for their safety and security. This way the seniors would still feel independent while being given the care they would need. I could also use it as a resort along the expansive lakeshore property that I own with my husband. We would use the medium size unit as our office and the smaller units as rentals. We would provide all the amenities like a bed, bathroom, stove, fridge and microwave . They would have to bring their own, cookware, towels and bedding. We would use one unit as a laundry facility.
These should be designed as pre-fabricated, all-inclusive disaster-relief shelters (wired and mounted with solar-lighting). Perhaps 2 sizes: one family of 5-6 and expanded 12-persons capacity size. The dimensions should allow for a longer, narrow, low-ceiling design sufficient to fit inside a C-17 and possibly even C-130! (i.e., able to be trucked on flat-bed too). If available as Lease-option, International relief agencies could rapidly acquire said Lease funding arrangement with host-country government and able to quickly deploy. Thus, the incentive could then be on host-country to further accelerate reconstruction and relocation to more permanent setting.
CHEER UP, The U.S. Military already have 20 x 16 inflatable shelters that are covered with a cement membrane, that gets sprayed with water until wet & allowed to dry, becomes a great room for use as anything that is needed.
nope FEMA would not pay for the labor associated with construction and then the responsibility of what to do with the structure after use. no they want fully mobile deliver and forget and easily redeployable
This kind of thing would be ideal for a shed or small structure on an existing lot. I really like it, especially if it's cheaper, as well as faster than standard construction methods.
Phill Huddleston --- It's Tatooine - Home of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker - the House of uncle Owen . A large dome shaped structure with the retractable open top center to allow in sunlight , yet closeable to protect against sand storms . ( Now if they could just get that lightsaber to work ).
G ISALL-You can build your own alternative material house anytime you like. I read and had a subscription to Mother Earth News for decades and many of the design s above are nothing new and many have built low cost energy efficient houses for decades.
Nothing to do with "corporate greed" people have built these for years. There's one visible on hwy 280 on the SF Bay area for 30 years or so. Build a Smurf house if you like, no one is stopping you.
That is very cool , you could assemble the dome and then spray over it with cement inside and out then seal it and paint over it . If you wanted added strength you could stick some concrete steel mesh reinforcing and spray more cement . In the comments someone mentioned moon base alpha interconnected domes , a fantastic idea. In this day and age , it should not take months to erect a house .
@Asianecohome PrivateLimitted I think the idea is excellent, but how do you derive the liquid caused by body and sweat? Polystyrene is water and airtight, so how do you prevent the house from mold growth?? It would be really awesome, if you could use old plastic for the production of the foam material (polystyrene). If this were possible, your product would be extremely good and also very sustainable and environmentally friendly. With that you could achieve worldwide success.
It's a great idea and it's not near as expensive is a traditional home and it's got numerous benefits that you can't get from a regular home. It's safe it's economically solid. A brilliant idea.
The simplicity of this design with this material is really attractive. I just wonder what part "weight" of a structure plays in its stability when subjected to high winds? My guess is that the shape takes care of that problem. What about the shear strength of the walls? That is, the wind blowing horizontally and pushing to snap the dome off of its base.
I've been inside these. The air even feels different, it is like being inside a picnic cooler. Also no sound from outside, so that seems really weird. Combine these two things and it feels and sounds like nothing you have experienced before. One problem was with expansion. The joints were an issue for cracking, plus you cannot hang things on the walls.
Something really nice about the Japanese mind and the way they see the world, I have great admiration for them. and I had this vision of a dome being the future for construction business 20 years ago, who needs concrete anymore, concrete was invented by the Ancient Romans isn't it time to embrace new methods?
A). Where can these be bought in Virginia? B). I have yet to understand HOW they’re anchored to a slab to prevent wind and rain & fire. From getting inside?
we call it Aqal somali means somali house. thousands of years somolis using this . but the materials which we make the house are all from organic (either animal or trees )
I think the dome housing is great . It has so many possibilities .I think the roofs should either be done or A frame because "flat" roofs no matter what you make them out of have a tendency to leak. What would be great is if the pollystyreen was Recycled from all that plastic floating in the ocean !
Much like the metal arched building used in the military, but with insulation. I noticed that they put brick or stone around the bottom. Wonder if that was in response of keeping pest or vermin out of the house. If they came with solar panels, they would be perfect. Wonder if they would be permitted in the U.S.
Looks promising in US. How are utilities handled? Electrical thru the slab or inside walls? How about plumbing and hvac? And how are the walls attached to floor? This video did not even touch upon these items.
I would like to know more about structural loads and how utilities are Incorporated Within. This video needs follow-up information. Are there other videos? please send links
I want one, but it will have to be raised an a bit larger. Needs to have the same headspace as a normal house. Perhaps one with a second floor like the one built to withstand hurricanes. I love their strength and efficiency against the weather. Even just building a greenhouse around my house would be awesome.
It's simply brilliant, material ahead of it's time. Nice variation on a theme! Nice to know if can take different preformed shapes for different needs. Like the fact they go together quickly! Insulation factors, and anti-Semitism additives with no exposed carcinagens. Brilliant!
I live in a house made of expanded polystyrene with a steel frame. There are some pros and cons. It is almost too well insulated, so it can get stuffy. However, my electric heating bill is a lot better than my neighbors. We had some bad hail one time that made big dents in the back wall, but it was easy to patch. It was built in 2000, and we are going to get it re-stuccoed pretty soon. (Unfortunately the builder didn't fix it to the floor very well and we have had leakage under the walls.) It is very difficult to hang pictures on. I have had some fall and break. I think we need to use some wood to make a picture railing. I'm not sure. If anyone has any suggestions, I am sure open to ideas. There is a problem with noise. It amplifies noise coming from the outside. (The floor is scored concrete, and I hate it. It is way too cold in the winter, and it is hard to stand on for very long. If we had the money, I would put in hardwood floors.)
now these are the important questions most ppl needed answered, thank you for your input. now i understand why these aren't being used in mass production all around the world. their not bad for what they are, their just not all that well built for other weather conditions. this may sound silly, but to solve the sound and heating issues, it might be a good idea to get the house covered under dirt or perhaps a much thicker layers of stucco. but dirt might be much better than stucco. this is how earth ships work, because they use the earths natural temperature control and sound barrier capabilities. i just don't know if the building material will be strong enough to handle the dirt packed all around it and on top of the structure.
@@5226-p1e I've always preferred earthen houses. We lived in an adobe house in New Mexico, and it was the most comfortable house I have ever lived in. I realize that earthen houses may not be the best for earthquake prone areas. The expanded polystyrene is lightweight, so it would probably be better in earthquake areas, but I don't know how it would hold up in hurricanes. We were told it could survive up to 90mph wind, but maybe, in a dome shape, it would fare better.
@@Claycat4 your right. dome shapes do work better. there is this video i just recently watched after watching this video of an dome home that was built near the shoreline in Florida, i can't remember the name of the dome house, but it's survived 3 or 4 hurricanes for the past 20 or so years. the guy who built it on the idea knew it would be able to withstand the harshest conditions. let me see if i can find the video.
@@Claycat4 it's not the best quality video, but there are other videos of this same dome home. but the reason why i chose this is because it had most of the information packed within the video i could find. ruclips.net/video/-w7KQFR8x3o/видео.html ruclips.net/video/jxsSBHTFk3w/видео.html
Do these structures meet construction standards in the United States , I am very interested in using this method to build cabins in remote areas. Due to the light weight, ease of transport and assembly, and rapid setup time.Also is there a corresponding line of interior fixtures such as lighting, ductwork , plumbing .
I would suspect so (even if bureaucracy is a killer everywhere), Japan has problems of earthquakes and storms so if it's approved there it should be easy to meet other standards
we don't have buildings collapse on us and kill us after a mild breeze like in the 3rd world. So, I kind of like those terribly cumbersome regulations.
@@tombirmingham7033 Tom sorta looks like he might be one of the code jerks,,, If people don't mind roofs falling on their heads it should be their damn business, Just like wearing seat belts its not about saving lives its about collecting another fee!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@tombirmingham7033 The regulations in the USA are in place to keep certain industries making money not for the advancement of architecture and design nor safety, the shit twig or cinder block we call "up to code" or standards are some of the worst, unstable and offensive materials to build with.

These would be perfect for a retirement couple or single person. It would probably be cheaper to buy and it Looks like it is fast to put up. Because of its shape it would divert the winds around itself. It already is insulated because of what it is made of. IF I was younger and had more money I would get one. They would be cheaper to heat and to cool. I love it. It is a great idea . I wonder if they sell them in the U.S.
Poly styrene or poly urethane? Probably the later . More fire resistant and much stronger too . Can be covered with ferocement for much better long term success.
They said this is NOT standard polystyrene foam. I'd order a sample from japan and see for myself. This could be the next housing revolution, for single people who can't afford a standard home, or who want an extra room.
If a person can't afford a reg. house how can they afford property to put one of these on? I do like this concept! I am gonna see about getting a display for an office and sale these homes,,,
The best part is, if the roof collapsed during an earthquake, instead of being killed it won't be any worse that being hit in the hear by an empty styrofoam cooler.
Antonio, semplicemente perche' sarebbe logico. E noi, in Italia, facciamo di tutto pur di non seguire una strada logica. Troppi interessi (non solo economici) non coincidono per una soluzione logica. Vedrai in futuro i problemi che nasceranno per la ricostruzione. I primi scontri saranno con la Soprintendenza, che imporra' la ricostruzione in pietra a secco, come da tradizione, che non essendo antisismica non potra' essere ricostruita. E sara' un'altra valtellina, belice, irpinia, l'Aquila, ecc ecc.
Antonio, just 'cause it would be logical. And we, in Italy, we do everything possible not to follow a logical path. Too many interests (not just economic) do not match for a logical solution. You'll see the problems that will arise for reconstruction in the future. The first clashes are with the Superintendent, who shall impose 'the stone reconstruction dry, as usual, not being earthquake can not' be rebuilt. It will be 'another Valtellina, Belice, Irpinia, the Eagle, etc. etc..
Unfortunately this explains why nothing new has come out of the U.S in several decades but comedians and the Kardasians. When one cannot come up with a solution the only thing left to do is tell stupid jokes and admire trashy people.
Structural insulated panels SIPS . sips panel is like an ice cream sandwich . Mt ice cream sandwich had walls 4 inches of foam encased in 5/8 inch OSB board. The roof has ten inches of foam , exterior side 2 layers of 5/8 OSB, interior just one layer of OSB. All structural elements are encased in the panel. Super strong, air tight, super efficient. Florida especially central Florida has brutal Summers. 1,700 square feet of home with one 1.5 ton central ac. The ac is a heat pump so all in one
I'm a retired journeyman Roofer & Waterproofer who's worked with Polystyrene in commercial and Industrial construction for 32 years ,to add to what K Simpson posted below is the smoke and fumes from burning Polystyrene is super toxic ,it's such a dangerous insulation most building codes require it to be sandwiched between 2 layers of fireproof materials like Dens Deck or 1 inch drywall ,a fire in 1 of these domes while people are sleeping would create so much coal black smoke within seconds finding an exit would be impossible before they would asphixiate, Japan has strange and dangerous building codes that allow for 6 ft wide by 100 ft long houses due to an insanely high land tax and inheritance tax.

These would be perfect for a retirement couple or single person. It would probably be cheaper to buy and it Looks like it is fast to put up. Because of its shape it would divert the winds around itself. It already is insulated because of what it is made of. IF I was younger and had more money I would get one. They would be cheaper to heat and to cool. I love it. It is a great idea . I wonder if they sell them in the U.S.
Thing is a house is just part of it and unless you have water in, power in and poo out it's just camping
but yes i'd love one of them
Poly styrene or poly urethane? Probably the later . More fire resistant and much stronger too . Can be covered with ferocement for much better long term success.
How do bathrooms fit into the dome house?
share the yard with pets/neighbors........
On the bottom. :-)
You just cut a hole in the floor and drop it thru,,, lol Oh heeeeeel somebody stop me , I'm just getting tooo many chances!
I notice a lack of shelving or storage attached to the walls. Or ever separation walls attached to the outer walls. That's a bit of a concern.
They said this is NOT standard polystyrene foam. I'd order a sample from japan and see for myself. This could be the next housing revolution, for single people who can't afford a standard home, or who want an extra room.
the foam density is 30-35. can stand a man on it
If a person can't afford a reg. house how can they afford property to put one of these on? I do like this concept! I am gonna see about getting a display for an office and sale these homes,,,
Where do the utilities come in?
The outlets and the plumbing are not integrated into the panels.
I will have to go to Japan and start an enterprise to bring this tech to Latin America, wish me luck folks.
What an excellent idea for an affordable home! I wonder if the Canadian government would approve these.
The best part is, if the roof collapsed during an earthquake, instead of being killed it won't be any worse that being hit in the hear by an empty styrofoam cooler.
Actually, domes are more earthquake resistant than box houses.
+Jaye Jay Curry clearly you didn't appreciate the irony of my statement.
The humour didn't escape me. I just wanted to point out one of the advantages of domes that your statement opened up.
And during a flash flood, you can just set on the couch and float down stream - good for dry land and doubles as a house boat
I had that once after eating mexican. Never again!
Please send all the information on the long dome and attachment. This a is great we can use this to down size.
This is a great technology. How can my community reach you people for the machinery that involves in this dome house technology?
This "new" technology is an italian idea. We are producing Polystyrene Houses since 1985! The first Termoigloo was made in 1986
Perché non proporle X amatrice & Co invece delle casette in legno (molto più costose e complicate da costruire)
Antonio, semplicemente perche' sarebbe logico. E noi, in Italia, facciamo di tutto pur di non seguire una strada logica. Troppi interessi (non solo economici) non coincidono per una soluzione logica. Vedrai in futuro i problemi che nasceranno per la ricostruzione. I primi scontri saranno con la Soprintendenza, che imporra' la ricostruzione in pietra a secco, come da tradizione, che non essendo antisismica non potra' essere ricostruita. E sara' un'altra valtellina, belice, irpinia, l'Aquila, ecc ecc.
Parole Sante!!!!
Antonio, just 'cause it would be logical. And we, in Italy, we do everything possible not to follow a logical path. Too many interests (not just economic) do not match for a logical solution. You'll see the problems that will arise for reconstruction in the future. The first clashes are with the Superintendent, who shall impose 'the stone reconstruction dry, as usual, not being earthquake can not' be rebuilt. It will be 'another Valtellina, Belice, Irpinia, the Eagle, etc. etc..
Love the long dome.
How do you change the light bulb?
One person holds the bulb and three more turns the ladder
as usually people do the Same.
Magnificent! I just see this idea!!
I LOVE THE JOKES BUT , AT LEAST SOMEONE IS THINKING PROGRESS AS FAR HOUSING .
Unfortunately this explains why nothing new has come out of the U.S in several decades but comedians and the Kardasians.
When one cannot come up with a solution the only thing left to do is tell stupid jokes and admire trashy people.
The US has over 50% of the Planet's patents in nanotechnology, you guys aren't pulling your weight.
Scott Wolf,i wouldnt brag about that,whatever patent you got it has been brought in by foreigners,mostly.98 % of it! So STFU!
@ Душан Радин - LIAR!!! (at least we don't have to steal our tech from others)
Scott Wolf patents are only for the benefit of the holder and are essentially just a way to make money
this is awesome! I love it, Modular add on's very kool
They should call it “ The Dome iIcile”
Igloo.
Structural insulated panels SIPS . sips panel is like an ice cream sandwich . Mt ice cream sandwich had walls 4 inches of foam encased in 5/8 inch OSB board. The roof has ten inches of foam , exterior side 2 layers of 5/8 OSB, interior just one layer of OSB. All structural elements are encased in the panel. Super strong, air tight, super efficient.
Florida especially central Florida has brutal Summers. 1,700 square feet of home with one 1.5 ton central ac. The ac is a heat pump so all in one
I'm a retired journeyman Roofer & Waterproofer who's worked with Polystyrene in commercial and Industrial construction for 32 years ,to add to what K Simpson posted below is the smoke and fumes from burning Polystyrene is super toxic ,it's such a dangerous insulation most building codes require it to be sandwiched between 2 layers of fireproof materials like Dens Deck or 1 inch drywall ,a fire in 1 of these domes while people are sleeping would create so much coal black smoke within seconds finding an exit would be impossible before they would asphixiate, Japan has strange and dangerous building codes that allow for 6 ft wide by 100 ft long houses due to an insanely high land tax and inheritance tax.
You don't have to look for an exit, Just kick o hole thru the wall, lol
You could build one hell of an office complex by connecting several of those together.
