Buckminster Fuller had his day, especially in the sixties. Good dog.
I've always had a fondness for built in niches. Thank you for the tour of these geodesic homes.👍💖
Glad you enjoyed it!
If they are serious about selling the house they need to declutter it and make it all available for viewing. That kind of clutter really turns potential buyers off.
We’re you thinking of buying? Sounds like they are working on it and I’m sure their realtor is guiding them. Be kind - you never know someone’s situation.
@@Lucinda_Jackson I'm not in the market but helped sell one in San Diego. The realtor was hell on clutter
Omg shut it. House is fine. Half a million dollars fine. This was for an architectural view inside and out. It's not for purchase, so the details of being super clean are not important! Even if it was cluttered, which it's not, I'd buy.
@lp3960 it is for sale so go for it.
I wish you many happy years in it. 😊
@wernerdanler2742 Honey, my home is 75k more than theirs. My taxes alone are enough to pay a person a salary. Do yourself the favor and do it, lol.
Lucky to have the chance to see this unique home, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
These geodesic houses were never prevalent, even at the height of their popularity. And now they have reached that awkward age of being too old to be beautiful and too young to be historically significant. I fear many will be (and probably already have been) torn down. Thanks for giving us a look inside! I hope this home finds new owners who love it's unique character.
Yes! I think you’ve got it just right and put it very nicely!
In a way, dome homes represent the sci-fi optimism of the mid 20th century, an era when people were promised civilian space travel and space colonies, robotic slaves, etc. This was optimism despite fears of a nuclear holocaust!
You have to admit though, dome shaped buildings are pretty cool and strong to boot!
WOW!! What a unique house. Thanks for sharing 🏡
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting space. The garage was cool and I love all the windows.
Sad there was no mention of Buckminster Fuller :(
There's no doubt that it was inspired by his genius designs, we hope to feature one of his builds in the future. Stay tuned!
Interesting home, lots of unique rooms, and the garage layout is so cool. Too bad you don't get the total feel of the size of the place, as there is way too much clutter.
They need to hire a staging company and “lightly” furnish it with furniture that won’t distract fRom the uniqueness of the house itself!
I noticed that, too. As cool as the place is, it would breathe a sigh of relief if some tossing & purging of clutter could take place, and before potential buyers arrive for tours.
Also, to people in the comments discussing the home's decor, this really isn't the forum. This channel is dedicated to graciously sharing regional architecture with us (Thank you This House!). If you want to discuss decor, there are innumerable other outlets on the internet for both serious critique and snarky discussions.
@This House, you may want to add a disclaimer to the front of future vids? Also, I believe content creators have a block function? May be something to look into. Again, thank you so much for this content! Keep up the great work!
I'm glad you enjoyed this and thank you for the tips!

Who are you, the comment nanny?.....The place is a cluttered mess!!.....😁
There had been a uniquely shaped house in the hills somewhere near Sunol, CA. I'm not certain of the _exact_ city, I was 8 (43 years ago). I was always fascinated by the unusual house, perched on the side of a hill, within sight of the freeway -it could be seen on the commute. I've tried to research it, but nothing turns up.
I _love_ this! It's an unusual design, very future conscious in all materials used, and it is _currently_ a family home.. not abandoned, not being repurposed, not demo'd.. but still used for what it was intended: a home for a family. 💖
This is a great house. Thank you, Ken. And thanks to the homeowners.
domes are the future for humankind and a healthy society. So beautiful hiuse I hope day to build something lime it, thanks for showing the house, magnificent presentation, congrats
We have many of these back in Colorado, I have always been fascinated by them, but one thing I always feared, are all those triangle panels and water leakage and who would one even call to fix it... Though I did see one in the mountains that had been wrapped and completely covered in cedar shake shingles...That garage is a dream though. lol. Loved the tour of it.. thank you.
When built correctly, like this one, they tend to hold up really well against the elements. Of course, they have to be properly maintained on the exterior, but clay is very resilient to water. Glad you enjoyed this tour!
Yeah, more joints and angles generally mean more places that can leak. But I guess if it's sealed properly, that probably wouldn't be a big issue. There's also monolithic domes that don't have this problem, though monolithic domes don't tend to be as homey as many geodesic domes.
Wow! Definitely 'outside-of-the-box' 😊 I bet its beautiful when the sun shines through those windows. (I would hate to build it tho 😳 all those angles!) Thanks for sharing ~ fun to explore new ideas
That’s a pretty cool home.
What a cool house, love the garage.
Not sure my dad would think much of the house portion, but he'd probably be thrilled to have a garage as awesome as this has. All that space for his tools and machinery...
The garage just seemed to go on and on to me. Very nice for someone needing lots of space to store stuff, work on projects or just putter around, lol!!
From the air, at 7:16, the home looks like the most adorable robot I've ever seen, lol, with a head, body, and arms & legs. I was intrigued by the crushed glass countertops & the copper sink. I love the idea of sleeping under a window that's nearly directly above me, something you don't get from a "regular" home. I liked the unique butcher block stand-alone table in the kitchen & the artsy pendant lights. I absolutely loved the large painting featured front & center in the living room of a Native American. The low passage-way upstairs wouldn't bother me because I am 5'1" and fairly tiny to begin with. Also, they are oh-so-lucky that they live alongside that creek. If I lived there, you couldn't keep me out of that creek.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!
It's AbSOULutely Purrrfect 🎉
Very interesting, Ken, and a real change of pace. You’re certainly getting us out of our comfy little boxes with this one!
I love the natural materials - those thick, Mexican clay tile floors are scrumptious! And the light is great with the way it bounces off all the angles in the walls. I did actually prefer the look of the walls in the “man cave” without the wood outlining each and every line of the geometry. But I know many would love all the wood. And it does add to the uniqueness of the interior. It looks like a very nice, large piece of property and with so many windows, there’s always a great view!
I'm glad you liked this one! The contrast between the two domes was very enjoyable for me. The differences in details really made each dome feel like it's own special place.
I imagine it was tricky to build and tricky to furnish but it looks so incredible!
Thanks for the tour. I wish we could've seen the secondary bedrooms and bath, but I guess the owners didn't want that. Still it was interesting. Thank you. 💜
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The guest suite wasn't camera ready, so they kindly asked us to skip it. The secondary bathroom had the same finishes as the kitchen to give you a clue as to what it looked like. Thanks for watching!
@@ThisHouse thanks for that info. 💜
If the man cave and the living room had fireplaces this would be a perfect house.
Saw a dome house in Utah , as you leave AZ via the Glen canyon dam bridge, at Page heading to the dinosaur museum , really nice ,also saw a beautiful lilac coloured pueblo house near Montezuma well , close to the Navajo casino . Two of the most unique houses I have seen in the USA
Geodesic domes are the best homes to have, I wish I had one.
Love the natural light!
I remember as a kid, visiting the domed foam house in the Wisconsin Dells. It was futuristic and very cool. I understand it was torn down long ago, but it left an impression! Any time I see a domed house, I think of the Foam House. I know back then you could purchase these homes. I often wonder if that's why people build domed houses!
Could see them advertised and actually buy from magazines.
Wow. Definitely different, I'm surprised that it wasn't de-cluttered a bit, I'm guessing the owners are Green Bay Packers fans, probably disappointed that they lost. But still a unique home, much different from most of the ones you normally tour.. keep it up Ken!
I would say so! Glad you enjoyed this home even though it was a bit different from what I usually feature, cheers!
What a cool home! I like how they used sustainable products. 👍
Glad you liked it! It was really amazing to see all of the natural elements come together in this home.
whenever I see these types of dwellings I think double-glazing window companies should get into making them for DIY assembly, make the hexagonal framework in sections that can be bolted together, they can be filled with insulation and clad on both sides or glazed as needed, but keep them all the same dimensions for cheapness of manufacturing, when you look at one of these dwellings it just looks like a lot of odd shaped double glazing, could be a great business venture here for someone glazing companies,
I love geodesic domes, and also nice seeing a home with lots of stuff in it. This seems reasonably priced. I like the ceiling in the man cave better than main home because I think although the wood framing of the geometry is really nice quality, I think the structure of the geodesic dome is more beautiful when not outlined. Doing drywall on these domes can be expensive and difficult. Cupolas would be a good design feature on regular homes also.
This was interesting to see a Geodesic Dome House that is actually lived in. I have only seen a video of an abandoned one and in the movie The House of Tomorrow.
One one hand, this cool dome home is futuristic, like something you'd see on a martian colony, on the other hand, the domes are quite homey! Dome shaped buildings are far stronger than box-shaped buildings made of the same materials, they can even survive direct hits from tornados!
Monolithic domes are actually the stronger of the two, like fortresses, both do well in strong wind's due to their aerodynamic shapes. Geodesic domes actually get stronger the bigger they get due to being made from triangles. The 3rd type, Schewedler, known for ribs and rings.
This reminds me of the Xanadu Village in Gatlinburg, TN. in the 1960's/1970's!
What an interesting place to live. I like the colors they used. It must be very interesting to live with open ceiling’s you would be able to hear everything from the surrounding rooms. Clearly too far from traditional for me, but nice to visit.
I like that kitchen
I get Dragon Ball vibes from this style of architecture.
Its a igloo house,but without the roof and the windows .Exactly the same online and the features without the garage door.
This dome shape house is a dream for me .. this house's exterior interior is awesome ..but the owners have made a mess inside, they could have manage it more neatly while arranging stuff to their proper place rather than throwing it everywhere. They could have utilized the space more efficiently..
That house is way too cluttered with stuff that distracts from the house itself! Hire a staging company to place more mundane furniture and decor!
Needs ceilings in the upstairs for privacy
Hi Ken- thank you for the tour! There is a home in Hillsboro, California that is called the Flintstone house. Tis very dome-y.
That is a nice place, although I thought that there might be more than one bedroom. BY the way, I thought that I had a lot of stuff.
I have wanted to live in a geodesic dome home since I was a young boy. I first read about Buckminster Fuller when I was about 10 or 11 years old. His designs and inventions were so far ahead of their time that it is hard to believe he did the things he did with the technology available in his time. All of his designs worked, but weren't as practical as he seemed to think they were. With the exception of the geodesic dome. That is a design and a structure that ticks off every box. I am too old to consider living in one now, but I continue to dream.
This is more than a house, it's a mansion. I'd settle for a magidome for a tiny Shelter in the garden. I made 1 miniature, it takes 25 sicks same lenght and 11 hubs to hold them together. I looks quite good and I feel good just thinking of it. At 70 I'm spending part of my time thinking about how I could make a bigger one to sit under. It would have to be winterized as our Canadian climate brings us arctic colds most of the winter and summer is too hot for us. 🍁☃
Hi I'm Grant Davis,
It's 9:00pm and my question is getting a dome home expensive? However I got to thinking about getting a set of four small domes with one of them being a garage.
If this had a shower or bath tube for tall people I'd live here
I was like meh, until I was the man cave. 😍
There's one like this in wentzville and weldon springs Missouri
I didn’t know that! Do you know which neighborhood it is in?
@@ThisHouse the one in weldon springs is right next to bryan middle school, not sure on wentzville
@@cameronr7223 thanks! I’ll make sure to look for it!
@@ThisHouse glad I could help, love the channel
Interesting house. way too much clutter on the main level though..objects on the stairs not a safe idea. Other than that
it's a Hella nice 🏠.upper main
bedroom suite should be more
private it's too open on account
of the placement of the domes.that garage is cool too.
No it shows it is lived in.
The house looks amazing on the outside.It also seems to have some interesting features but to much to appreciate any beauty that may be on the inside.To much color to many patterns and very obtrusive furniture making one wonder why they decorated the way they did.It makes it so hard to appreciate how interesting this home is.
Rooms seem small and cramped.
Please I want to find people to help me build amphibious sphere homes and I want to build my own Halloween haunted attraction business.
I can see that an Indian family lives there
First nations ,now, unless of course they come from Delhi
looks like they'regreen bay packer fans. i automatically like the owners. no need to meet them, because i already know that they are good people.
Bonito el domo pero una decoración muy pesada
Very cool house. I can admire the decor even though I’m not Native American. I don’t know why some people are trying to find racism in everything. I like Asian decor too does that make me a racist? Let’s enjoy the art of other cultures.
I think there is a line between appreciation and appropriation. And for me, this decor crossed it. As a person with [distant] Native American heritage, I own several pieces of Native American art, purchased from Native artists at either Pow Wows, or Reservations. But it does not fill my house. It is mixed with art of many genres, eras, and cultures. Contrasted with this house which is FILLED with Native American symbolism, some of it art, some not, and most of it appears to be mass produced. Using Only themed decor from one specific culture not ones own, takes it to a place of fetishization. And buying mass produced fails to support the culture one is claiming to appreciate.
Sorry to say this - The house looks like a disaster..........
🤮
your queer actions ruined the whole video.
Thanks for watching 🌈
A wooden indian? Seems racist to me.
.... Native American dude....
Not if the current owners are Native American. How is that racist?
Has been noted and will be reported
There are a lot of native American details in that house. Did it ever occur to you that maybe the owners ARE native Americans? I don't know if they are or not, but don't be so presumptuous that everything is racist!
Without disclosing too much private information about the owner, I can say that the decor is culturally appropriate for the owners.
Why's the cat locked up but not the dog? 😂
Nah it was designed by Bulma. Vegetas wife
I always like these and the monolighth domes. Very interesting. Awesome home thank you.
Hopefully we will come across one of those to tour in the future, glad you found this interesting! Cheers!
If one decided to have a romantic fling the entire upstairs household would know about it! A terrific Geodesic dome, the guy who created the Geodesic dome taught at Southern Illinois University, Dr Gardner. Thank you for sharing!!
No guest or kids rooms, so I think your privacy is ensured! Lol
Thomas George Castleberry, It sounds like Dr. Gardner would be the perfect source for a book on these domes. I know I would read it.
I had read about Dr. Walther Bauersfeld, then Richard Buckminster Fuller, who decades later improved upon and popularized geodesic domes. Fuller had been a member of the SIU faculty. I need to find more about Dr. Gardner. Thank you!
@@alison5009 Glad you chimed in, as I wrote down Bauersfeld & Fuller on my little list of resources. This could be a fun, developing topic to read about.
@@twistoffate4791 I agree, I think it is fascinating!
