  • @d1incharge exactly right!! so keep watching as your square (much like yourself) become obsolete and people with vision and desire for a home that doesnt look like the neighbors, grows to choke square houses out......

  • @NewJura Your floor plan couldn't get approved 9/10 lots we have built on, if you were a builder you would know people dont want one stupid looking house bringing down a whole street of home values, so floor plans need approved, and maybe you can have cities start designing lots in circles too! To better fit your stupid ass circle homes. Green is a teepee living off the land, these homes are not even fucking close! I bet fewer than one out of million homes are round, it's called demand.

  • @d1incharge Circle=+area. Circle: P=2Pi*r. r=radius. Let r=25meters. P=2Pi*25=2*3.14*25=157meters. Area=Pi*r*r=3.14*25*25=1962.5m­^2. Square: P=L+L+W+W=39.25+39.25+39.25+39­.25=157meters. Area=L*W=39.25*39.25=1540.6m^2­. Also work 4 rectangles. +area for the same amount of material when you use a circular house. Circles don't have to be smooth. They can be dodecagons or pentadecagons. A dodecagon or a pentadecagon will allow for the use of a square building material and the use of a triangle.

  • I build affordable realistic homes, minimum 25/year. Build green all you want, it is 65" tv's and people that love to live inside at 65 when it is 110 oustide and 72 when it is -15 outside. People don't give a shit about how green thier house is, they want the most sqft for the dollar and good location, I hope you have conquered your puny market.

  • @d1incharge I have been building homes for 25 years, and if you would have actually grasped what I said then you would see you reply to mine was idiotic in its self, as I stated the entire material market has been formed to ensure square, I also am a natural builder and build homes in the ULTIMATE form of green which is from the earth and recycled and re-purposed materials, what is you experience? I have put in my years and know extremely well what can and cant be done and with what.

  • @NewJura Windows, plywood, most lumber, carpets, tile, trim, appliances, countertop, drywall, those are just some of the items that come SQUARE. Don't be an idiot, build a house, then tell us how easy round is, it is plain retarded to anybody with experience in construction.Round is a waste of time, material, money.The complete opposite of green.

  • @d1incharge round is the absolute best design for a home there is, we have been led to believe square is best and then forced to accept a market of square furniture to further necessitate the square home, get out of the BOX head space and see what round can do!!

  • Inspiring homes that are a step closer to an energy sustainable future. Inspired living as well!

  • As a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, I note great similarities between his work and Deltec homes. Rectangular box homes are simply obsolete, for a variety of reasons.

    They waste enormous amounts of space in dead-end corners. And look hopelessly out of place on a natural site. I would not, however, ever use horizontal siding on a Deltec home - vertical cedar looks best. or stucco or sand

    finished. Deltec is the closest one can get to Falling Water, Wright's masterpiece. It's actually better inside.

  • this building suck! search for "earthship" on youtube!
