Japan Dome House build environmentally friendly and energy efficient houses from dense polystyrene. The houses have good insulation properties and can reduce energy bills by 90%. The houses are 7 meters in diameter, fire proof, earthquake and typhoon resistant, and using the modular building system can be constructed in less than a day. They recently received approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation to build these houses in Japan.

  • @overoffstudios OF COURSE!!!

  • Polystyrene is NOT environmentally friendly, fuck Diginfo. I unsubscribed this crap channel when I realized that they like to push cheap junk from Asia that is typically toxic, fragile, or not even going into production, if it could possibly be good. Yes, it's a dome, but it's a horrible dome. Grass huts last longer than 10 years, they are eco-friendly like nobody's mother, plus you don't have to pay for it, or shipping and delivery.

  • Dome Sweet Dome <3

  • @hugobossdb Ya If you had to replace it every 10 years and made out of foam. But if you make it last for a lifetime then I would not complain. And If I had the chance to live in one of these I would. It would save me a lot of money to ether buy assets or stupid shit. And I like the design. More space and save a lot more energy. Not every one is going to want to live in a dome so I would expect people to make other designs besides the unchanged house design we've had for too long.

  • America will be able to do this once people fucken wake up for once ):

  • oh god...I hope they won't stop making normal hosues so they force us to live in THAT
