Monolithic Dome House For Sale!

[TheAllResort]

It looks unusual. I like it.

[martiansurgery]

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

[wiserguyer]

I like the accent .

[aloisgault]

thick accent is a killer..........sorry.

[Rosyheart1]

beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder, i love the domes, but i want one in Taos...Peace

[grazzitdvram]

god that's an ugly looking exterior...

[hottietamole6918]

it would be a lot nicer if they let someone who speaks english better do the narration...

@RegenerationFood - That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[RegenerationFood]

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.

[fxwizard5]

looks like star wars



[Riv3rQu33n]

they shouldve added a food storage dome because anyone who buys this is gonna need one.

[Riv3rQu33n]

las animas is waaaaaay the heck out past pueblo colorado.great if you like alot of seclusion.hours of driving :) and,they dont want to give a price probably because its really expensive.so much for "earth friendly affordable housing".think about it,if its so fast and "cheap" to make,why dont they give a price?and,i certainly wouldnt buy something from coldwell banker partners.key words *banker partners*

[Spectrum345]

what is your email i live in utah and am very interested how close is the nearest elementary school and where is it

[TheHolySpirit]

@hooya1111 Domes are possibly the strongest type of structure to survive a tornado and even earthquakes too. Of course it depends on the construction techniques used in this particular example, but put an egg longways between your hands and try to crush it with all your worth and you'll discover the inherent strength that dome structures have.

[52111centrumcz]

@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.

[ArthurC42]

@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]

@ArthurC42 think it comes down to material not just shape. how does it hold in earthquake? seems as though might crack pritty easy, and once integrity slightly lost come tumbling down like a house of cards.

Has any1 done studies?

[ArthurC42]

@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.

[ArthurC42]

@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.

[ArthurC42]

@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 :)

[rcmontecalvo]

reminds me of those houses in dragonball

[cohoba77]

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????
