Geodesic dream - 01_Rough
มุมมอง 121K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a brief overview of building a geodesic home house that I plan to live in. The shell comes as a "kit" that a third company @NaturalSpacesDomes78 made, all we needed to do is assemble it. That part was the easiest. What we didn't know is that pretty much everything else was harder: Foundation was a huge blow in the budget (being made up of so many segments), carpentry was also a challeng...
How much did this project cost?
Hey love your project presentation! Wondering if you could send me info on your roofing material the copper is stunning!
Hi, thank you! Sure thing the roofing (orange) and the siding (dark gray) are both the same material: They are AL shingles from Reinke www.reinkeshake.com/
incredible work
Absolutely awesome... except for when the land floods....sorry.
The dome slab is poured about 5' over the historic flood line. Unless it's the apocalypse, I think it will be fine :) Thanks for the thought!
@peteram7 thank you. No doubt you checked on high water's. What a wonderful space to live in. I wish you excellent health, happiness and dry floors.
Beautifully ✨ what kind of material you used for the roof covering?
The roofing and siding is made from the same materials: AL shingles from Reinke, just different colors. Thank you!
Looking Very nice!! My i ask what hubs did you use for connecting the struts?
Thank you! Sure thing, the entire dome (struts, hubs, plywood paneling) was delivered by Natural Spaces Domes (they own the patent for the hubs, but you can see them on their website)
Nice work dude! Love it.
Thank you so much!
Muito bom
Absolutely stunning home! Nice work!
Stunning home and with an awesome view. I live here in Antioch and never knew a home like this was possible in our area. Well done!
Ha, thank you, small world!
Nice Peter... really great job on this video... and a fantastic job with your build. Are those copper Reinke shakes you went with?
Thank you so much! They are indeed Reinke, but they are AL shingles, not copper. The reason is copper is too expensive and I don't like the color change in time. AL is the best in my opinion. Both the roofing (orange) and the siding (dark gray) are Reinke AL shingles, just different colors. The orange (Roman Gold) is now discontinued but I think they have something similar now (Prairie Gold)
This is amazing home. Congratulations. Where did you buy the connectors? Thank you so much for your answer.
Thank you for the nice words. I bought the kit for the two domes (connectors, struts and plywood sheeting), as well as the plans from Natural Spaces Domes, see their website for more info, they do legit work, but slow to respond...it was a challenge dealing with them, but it can be done, with a lot of patience... Hope this helps!
Amazing house! I’d love to see a walkthrough of the interior to understand the layout.
great video - thanks for putting it together
Thank you! If you send me an email address I will send you the plans...
Extraordinar! Felicitări.

Felicitari ! Faina casa ai facut
Remarkable!!!
Final Version ? Good job Sir !

Sure thing will work. They are extremely resistent to hurricanes, and very thermally efficient in each kind of climate...
Felicitari pentru ca ai impartasit cu noi experenta ta Bravo
😮❤OMFG I LOVE THOSE SHINGLES !! What are they??Amazing work btw thx for sharing !!
Hi, thank you! These are Aluminum shingles from Reinke
increible !!! enhorabuena !!!
What are these shingles
These are aluminum shingles from Reinke
Do you have plans available or info on construction? Is it a kit? Where can I get more info, love this.
yes, the shell is a kit, here is the company info, you can get a lot of details there Naturalspacesdomes.com Hope it helps!
Dome size?
I'm also interested in the sizes of the domes @@Blaine2369 @peteram7 it looks like natural spaces does good stuff
@@bockminster7474 They do good stuff, but are extremely hard to work with them. They are short on staff and overwhelmed and lack interest. Hardest company I worked with, but I think it's worth it, if you're motivated enough :) The large dome (house) is 49' diam, the smaller one (garage on the bottom, bonus area on top) is 36" diam Thanks!

gogogo !!!
That is copper sheets for roof?
Aluminum shingles. Reinke is the company that makes them. Truly shingles for a lifetime. www.reinkeshake.com/ The copper color is Roman Gold (discontinued now, but they have Prairie Gold that is a close match) and the dark gray is Slate Gray.
Do you think it would be better at resisting a tornado than a traditional house? Does the middle section reduce that resistance?
Hi, thank you for the comment! Absolutely and without a doubt, these domes are the strongest in tornadoes, heavy snow loads, etc. The middle section does not reduce the resistance of the dome (but of course, the middle section is also not as strong as the domes either. Luckily there are very few tornadoes in IL, my main reason that I went with it is for the looks of it, but the strength is surely an added bonus. Thanks again!
@@peteram7 Thanks for the info!
Can't wait to see inside 😊
here are some interior shots th-cam.com/video/qa83qukqz5E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6f0hcoS5BK-s8Sy0
Awesome. Totally awesome.
Hello Peter, this looks stunning! Are those anodized aluminum shingles?
Good eye! Yes sir, they are. Reinke is the company that makes them. Truly shingles for a lifetime. www.reinkeshake.com/ The orange color is Roman Gold (discontinued now, but they have Prairie Gold that is a close match) and the dark gray is Slate Gray.
The house looks pretty spectacular. Those Natural Space domes look to be over engineered; and your home, especially, looks like it would survive a direct hit from a Javelin missile. This type of construction is such that the house will likely stand for hundreds of years. I like that! @@peteram7
holy sht you guys ROCK !!!! !WANTITNOW
Nice, good music Ennio Morricone
Amazing work <3 !!! Bravo :)
The best part is between 4 minutes and 4:51. 😂
Thank you for pointing this out. My mistake :) Thanks goodness that youtube allows you to trim the video after uploading. The best part is gone now :)
@@peteram7 ha! ❤️, but also 😢
I love it ❤
fain ! mai punem niste tile pe acolo ? Alin aici ,faina casa ai facut
Wow, looks incredible 🤙
You make everything look so easy! Yet, I know it’s not! 😃💜
#peopleareawesome ❤
de neuitat, imposibil de inlocuit...pentru intodeuna
foarte frumoasa zona, un fel de apuseni la scara mai mare
Cum ti se par aceste hubsuri? As vrea sa fac si eu o sera dar nu stiu cat sunt de rezistente. Sunt din plastic? Ar rezista la un dome 3v, 3/8 cu diam. de 5m?
Salut. Unde ai construit? Este in tara? Poate la sfârșit ne spui si cat a costat. Mulțumesc
With it's singificant carbon footprint, the amount of concrete used in this project detracts from it's over all appeal. To me anyway.
Thanks for the feedback, but I don't really understand your point. Any house uses concrete foundations, so I agree with you, there is no less carbon footprint, and I don't think anybody claims it to be...
Just wondering what you're planning to cover the wrap on the outside of the domes with?
