I Really Want One Of These. These Houses Are The Best To Have! I, Corey Blackmon, Draw To Me A Monolithic Dome Home! I Thank The Universe For My Monolithic Dome Home. So It Is!
I can really see myself living life in this place called Shangri-La. And for me to believe this, I've thought about some of the steps to do so. In a nutshell, it centers on creating a Shangri-La teaching center that heals the mind, body and soul thru educational hands-on retreats. Of what I know of the owner, I'd consider it a "passing of the baton". After all, sound wave healing would be one of several things practiced. I discovered this place through my newfound interest in Monolithic Domes.
omg, 20 years ago... i musta seen a dome house. we always used to poke fun at it and called it the mushroom house :P this was somewhere in applevalley, or hesperia. didn't know they were that old. wow. looks neat though. reminds me of super mario world :P dome city!
@hooya1111 The Dome shape is specifically used to build hurricane/tornado proof structures. The rounded walls and edges can take up to 400 times stronger winds than the strongest ones measured in hurricanes, compared to that of a straight wall of your average building, which unlike the seamless construction of the domes, is built out of many interlocking parta that can be easily torn to pieces.
@gotmyfingerrscrowsed There is actually a video here somewhere, which I dont feel like searching for now.. where a bunch of architects and scientists put the basic frame of a dome house, through a quake simulator, and it survived every major earthquake that has happened in the world that had wrecked havoc to the places it took place in. Even if the dome were to "crack", the simple fact that all of its walls "lean" against eachother, means that it is much harder for it to collapse.
@TheHolySpirit We got these domes over here in CZ - they were built in the 1930s as bunkers with steel reinforeced one meter thick walls. Germans (after they occupied us) tried to blow one up...They bombarded it with 250mm rail guns...they blasted on the top or were deflected. They got furious...and tried air bombing it with a 2000kg bomb...it slid over the side, buried in the soil and moved it 1cm to the east. Then they put 5000kg of TNT under it...it lifted 1.5 meters up and fell back intact.
I think I would grow "virginia Creepers" over top of it to make it blend into the mountainside...[more "green] Just give it an extra top coat to protect from the vines and would serve as camouflage... We have them on our [front/side porch and on a 6' chain link fence], in the summer you would never know the porch and back fence were there... they grow really fast to... OR maybe grape vines, cucumber vines or other vines that grow food [grow a garden over it]????? mmmmm????
@ArthurC42 Aaaaand.. simple example. If you take a box, with 90* degree angles, and stand on it.. the slightest movement to any side, will cause the box to get crushed under your weight.. basically being folded into a pile of walls. But if you take something that is the same size, and made out of the same material.. but has the dome shape.. you can pretty much jump and dance on it, and it will take way more effort to crush that structure. It's quite clear, the dome is much much stronger :)
@ArthurC42 And in the event of an unlikely collapse, the material is much, much lighter than what you find in your average modern building. Also, because of the curves, it would naturally create many pockets, witchin which people could survive unharmed. The reason houses fall/break during a quake, is because they are tall and have straight walls. They wobble and shake and eventually snap, like a tree in strong wind. The dome structure naturally counters that kind of movement within itself.
Ghetto is city. Dirt roads are far better than paved roads and the norm in rural areas because they are inexpensive, easy to repair and easy to care for. Things are far apart in the rural areas and we don't need the cost or 'look' of paving.
$350K for 6000 sq ft on 40 acres is CHEAP. That home on that much land near any major city would cost over $1M, easy. California or NY, you're probably looking at $10M, easy.
why arent the roads leading up to the house paved? dirt roads add a ghetto -ish feel - how could that have been overlooked - they went all out on all else
wtf this dome costs $350,000 !!! For that kind of money I will built a whole village with wooden houses with natural materials not a plastic one and the round walls couses many interior problems to solve. Give me that money I will build you a mansion!
@52111centrumcz I would never dare do the talking for an ad !!!… on the top of that she advertises for a place that's inspired from the hippie movement (or whatever it was called) : this is so out of tune !!!…

Wow, were they reading my mind when they built this????
The domes, the spiral staircase, the rounded pocket-doors, the home theatre etc...

Ghetto is city. Dirt roads are far better than paved roads and the norm in rural areas because they are inexpensive, easy to repair and easy to care for. Things are far apart in the rural areas and we don't need the cost or 'look' of paving.
price?
@KamauAmani Did you get a Monolithic Dome yet? Just wondering if the law of attraction really works. :)
Does anyone happen to know the ballpark price?
saw this on a tv show on hgtv and travel channel... where is the family that lived there? guess they lost it to forclosure
How much is it. ?
I couldn't understand her , What country are you from ?
350,000 k doesn't buy much nowdays, that's only like five stick homes in Phoenix, with no land tiny lots!
This accent is definitely european but I don't know why it does not sound like Oxford or cockney accent…
Seems like mine… soooo french !!!… (giggles…)

Is there some law against putting prices online? They'll give you all the data except the freaking price.
reminds me of those houses in dragonball
just weird ..did not see any teletubbies though ...
Haha looks a lil bit of the Dragonball Z house where Goku lives:P
IS THIS THE ONE AND ONLY FRANK DUX of
martial art fame? if so, this is your friend from LA.
Brought to you by Capsule Corps.
I'll be there too... lolo "If" I win the lottery...
You keep your MOM off the block , WE will keep the block out of your MOM ! - and as always HAVE A NICE DAY !
why arent the roads leading up to the house paved? dirt roads add a ghetto -ish feel - how could that have been overlooked - they went all out on all else
350k is really cheap if thats the price, the land needs work though, and she said nothing about off grid capability.
êtes-vous québécoise?
