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 ).
This would be the best fix for home- less people and lower income families. And it is safe for children, pets,elderly. check this out. Cost effective way to build a new beginning for the growing world. And teaches us how servers will be doing IT.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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?
@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.
I was excited for this but upon researching polystyrene is a toxic plastic chemical 😭😭😭😭 What are the potential health concerns associated with polystyrene foam? Over fifty chemical byproducts are released during the manufacturing of polystyrene, contaminating the air, water and communities that live near these facilities. Polystyrene is made up of multiple units of styrene. Styrene is believed to be a carcinogen (cancer causing)
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.
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,,,
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..
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
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
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 )
wow how many domes do i need? One for me and one for my husband for separate bedrooms; he snores! One for the living room, one for kitchen and one for bathroom and All interconnectected to the living room! Five domes Altogether! Oh a separate one for the garage; hmmm thats a lot of Siopao looking from above!
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.
Hi! Thanks for such a great idea for affordable housing that is also durable. It is made of petroleum products and paint etc. I was wondering about off-gassing of the materials in time. To live in such a structure I would think fumes from the material would eventually cause health problems. Still though, this is innovative and great to look creatively at affordable housing. I wonder if they could design it so you could make right angle and 45 degree angle etc turns in the quanset arch style they also show. Thanks again for contributing to the quality of life with your going "outside the box" so to speak and trying new ideas. Sincerely, 5368mwj
Ok for one great idea but agreed upon one thing terrible for the earth... Dosent burn how would we get rid of it my guess is take it apart grind it up and recycle it so not such a bad idea after all as long as we can get rid of it in some sort of way
mhen that sounds look’s an sounds fantastic, i’d invest if i had the money, but if u come to portland oregon u can by land by the river side, an country side an start your community of awesome houses
Can also pay high property taxes, and high cost of living. Lived there for 35 yrs before the current chaos. Loved it, but an expensive place to live and becoming much like large CA cities. Has lost a lot of it's appeal, 😢.
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.

Why don't you just make a dome house out of ordinary EPS panels?
Looks like it could make a nice second-storey addition on an existing home. A bright sun room, well insulated, with a nice dome shape

Great idea for housing and other facilities, love it!!
Sorry but the one that she is in is not the same wihich se got in to. She is more inside the neighbour's one
Fantastic concept hope it spreads around the world
I like it. maybe better for colder climates
This is fantastic. I always dreamt of living in a simple dome house. If movable that will also be very nice.
wonder about fire, heat, what temp. melts...flooding, float off foundation...answer to stop chopping down our trees and lowering use up of oxygen...homes should make of sun light to light up a home...and go to sleep when it is dark...I know hospital or emergency people need lights...but it is a waist for most public living...I've been looking at all kinds of home building and re builds for over 20 years because I like to see all the different ways for people to live...there has also been terrible destruction by natural causes and thousand of peoples homes gone...people come back to a home the can't get rid of the mold from flood waters and storms or fire and smoke damage...or power plant radiation contamination...any shrinkage or change in form due to long tern suns rays...Sorry, I'm full of so many questions (I'm not a builder) but in my head and mind I am..
im gonna die cuz of laughing..long time i hadnt seen japanese were good of fun making..😅😅😅

I love this. WHEN is it coming to USA.
Interesting concept. I wonder what the roof loading is. What the cost and international availability is.
Very cool great arch shape,, bring to the USA
Dont know why UN hasnt cought on to this for refugee camps.
Instead of using tents.
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
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.
This reminds me of Luke Skywalker home from star wars
很適合台灣郊區的建築，抗極端氣候，抗地震。不抗小偷！
如果不是很貴，如果窮人能負擔就值得推廣！
