Why build a geodesic dome?

You probably already know some of a dome’s intrinsic advantages over traditional construction:

  • Stronger than anything so it resists everything:

    • ‘quakes,

    • ‘canes,

    • twisters,

    • rain and snow

  • Less material so less:

    • labor

    • expense

    • upkeep

  • More efficient use of interior space

Why build a Geohedron?

A Geohedron is intrinsically superior to traditional domes or traditional construction:

  • stronger than anything to resist everything:

    • ‘quakes,

    • ‘canes,

    • twisters,

    • rain and snow

  • rounder, smoother and more elegant:

    • more attractive inside and out for you and your neighbors, year after year

    • No plywood roofing. The form of a Geohedron is already so intrinsically strong it doesn’t need external plywood. The form already distributes shear better than nailed-together plywood sheets.

    • Impervious to moisture problems inherent in the ridges and peaks of older icosahedron domes that covering up with a plywood “skin” doesn’t remedy but in fact contributes to leaking rain and snow.

  • ready for advanced space-age, “green” solutions:

    • snow- and water-resistant weather-proofing and sealing

    • sprayed-on concrete exteriors that add increased rigidity and strength

    • sprayed-in and stuccoed-over closed-cell insulation

    • efficient and earth-friendly air circulation, heating and cooling

  • available in kit form shipped to your site

  • you can arrange and tailor finish work to suit your taste, needs and site requirements using local materials, expertise and craftspeople

Site-built home? Factory-built home? Manufactured home?

NONE OF THE ABOVE
