Geodesic dome homes are inherently cozy, especially with their rounded profiles. They may remind you of the hobbit houses of J.R.R. Tolkien as they are usually placed in stunning locations such as lakefronts and forests. They are prime candidates when it comes to prefabrication, a process that intends to eliminate the waste, mess, and noise that are produced by the traditional construction techniques. Dome homes that are prefabricated can be produced out of several different materials, which means customization is still possible even if they come ready for assembly.
Just recently, a company based in Slovenia, Smartdome Constructions, did its own spin to geodesic dome homes. The company developed "Smartdome" series, consisting of four different models that are designed for every season.
"Skydome," one of the four models, is raised from the ground via a gigantic central pillar.
Another model, "Aquadome," can be installed over any body of water.
There is also the "Treedome," which is covered in foliage in order to blend the environment of a forest.
The last one which is the "Snowdome" is built with the capability to withstand extreme weather conditions.
If you visit the company's website, you will see the illustrations they have created to depict each model. There are domes that are built beside hills, set on an elevated walkway, decked on a treetop, and clustered together to form an interconnected community.
Of course, the vision of the company goes beyond just a set of pictures posted on the internet. Smartdome Constructions was able to manufacture numerous units of their modular geodesic homes since the launching in 2015. If you are interested in these affordable dome-shaped homes or you want to try out small space living, you will be glad to know that each unit can be placed anywhere on the planet. The price starts at $22,500, and the setup will not require any technical knowledge. The domes' modularity lets homeowners expand their property when they want or need it. You'll also have the option of taking several modules apart and transport them to new locations. It will all be at your convenience.
Smartdomes are energy efficient and durable. However, that's not all as they also have a unique customization capability as well as innovative designs. Željko Hočevar from Smartdome Constructions released a statement: "The project is perfect for those who are in need or in search of something really fresh. There is always something different for nature lovers. Our dome units are among the first printed dodecahedron structures in the world."
According to Smartdome Constructions, the number of people living in constant stress is increasing, which is why it is their aim to create and develop innovative ideas and methods of living in scenic locations. They do so by combining careful treatment of nature and resources with technical efficiency.
As for now, there are still more affordable options if you want to try out small space living. However, Smartdomes would be your best option if you want a stylish way of doing so.
