I’m elderly and my house is too much work and expense for me. Im told I need to downsize or move into a retire community. But that sounds very lonely and final. A huge dome greenhouse surrounded by 6 dome houses, would bring my family together, I wouldn’t be lonely and I could leave my grandchildren a legacy vs a house to sell. I need to sell my house to do this. I’ll have cash. Can this be done? Where do I begin?
I’m not in the community of the Domegaia “movement”. If I were you, just contact the maker of this video. He can point you in the direction. Organizing a training project at your property. Finding volunteers to help you with your dream project. It shouldn’t be difficult to realize it. Sorry. I live in Panama. Building my own house - all by myself. Two story circular house. Locals call it already the “Castillo” and I haven’t my roof on top yet. I couldn’t get a permit with aircrete. I’m using 6” concrete blocks for my construction. All the best for your project! ❤
I love your vision. Taking your time for good planning and research is the key to success. You would want to start with an accurate design and 3D model so you can get a realistic cost and time to construct. You can contact us on your website if you want more details domegaia.com
Get your adult children on board FIRST, and it will take at least a year for planning, zoning, buying the land ect, it will take at least 2 years to COMPLEATE to move into. But you will need an company that can build your unique design like an apt builder. Also legal help with ZONING and it would fall under apt or muti house build LEGALLY. it may take longer to build that way. ( call it an extra 18 months for legal stuff before breaking ground and an extra year to build. )
Very cute. Personally I would trim it out with gingerbread moldings and some color. I like a French provincial look and I think it would be easy to do, albeit, probably expensive. I'm looking forward to more videos.
Pretty but way to labor intensive. Styro Crete domes can be shot in one day. Framed up in hours. Lighter weight and better R values. Cool project though. Stronger than styro Crete fo sure.
That's what I was thinking. That was an amazing amount of effort for such a tiny build. Not to mention the amount of waste generated by the project. Ok for a one-off, but not practical on a large scale with this design.
26 minutes of creativity and pure enjoyment! Your work is full of energy and inspiration, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. Such a beautiful self-build reflects your passion and amazing teamwork. Thank you for sharing this unique experience-looking forward to more of your incredible creations! Greetings from your follower in Saudi Arabia!
How many people did it take to build your 8 week project? Did you also have to pay them? How long would it take if just 2 men built it? If a husband and wife team worked on it how long will it take? Can anyone or a couple without construction/building experience do in in record time? Just asking because going by your title it looks like a dream come true in 8 weeks.
It's about 1000 person-hours in total. We had different numbers of people helping at various times, with more in the beginning. We had 2 to 3 skilled workers; the rest were volunteers and students who were there to learn.
I'm doing something similar. I'm using a welded steel framework supporting welded rebar & cattle panel molded into its final form and then filled with shotcrete, much the same as an inground concrete swimming pool.
I absolutely love this build. I think the only thing that I would have done different maybe would be to put a petition up between the bedroom and the living room just to give you that sense of space and individuality as well as privacy.. it just gives you more freedom 🥰🥰
@ EXACTLY THAT IS ALSO WHY PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN MINDS SUGAFOOT.. WE ALL ARE GOING TO DO WHAT WE WANT …NOW IMAGINE THAT … HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY ON PURPOSE 🥰😁🦋
So it was an 8 week project and how many people worked on it? So impressed with how well done this video and the how organized the workers were. Also how much cement did this project take?

Interesting, but that’s one hell of a hard way to do it. I can’t work out why you wouldn’t buy an inflatable done and spray creat it. Would have been cheaper, faster and a better finish ?? 🧐
Хороший проект, при условии, что есть большое количество человек, готовых работать бесплатно. И да, опираться о стены не рекомендуются - они с лёгкостью могут обрушиться.
Been a dome fan for 45 years. Designed several AutoCAD models, based upon Monolithic Domes & followed the progress of Aircrete Harry. Surprised that you don't use a stucco gun (not necessary with lots of troweling hands). I see that we have come to the same conclusions: * 20 ft diameter is the ideal size for any multipurpose dome (Bedroom, Living room, Kitchen, workshop, etc.) * Arches are the ideal solution for transitioning to planar windows & doorways Q: Is aircrete now International Building Code approved for occupied dwellings, with an engineer's stamp of approval or is that still a major obstacle in most states?
Just out of curiousity, how is it that "Locals Laughed at Our 8-Week Dome Project - Now They're Amazed". I don't see where or how this has happened. It's a nice and cute little project but as far as locals go ...?
I absolutely love it when there's a cool project like this and absolutely no explanations of what is being done or what materials are being used...oh wait...there's a book...
I'll be the happiest person if after watching this fantastic bioclimatic construction I shall receive a GUIDE. I'll also love to hear your impression after a few weeks of occupation. Enjoy your new habitat.!!!
I know aircrete blocks are very popular outside the U.S. What restrictions did you have to work with building this small structure? And what was the percentage of waste as you cut stuff out?
We didn't have any restrictions in this area, but we do have engineers who approve our method if we need to get permits in other areas. Like any building project, there is some waste but its not much.
This is amazing. But when you were carving out the pipe lines that scared me. How strong is the structure? Can in withstand a storm? Or hypothetically if the lawnmower launches a rock at the foam cement will it not puncture the house?
The aircrete that is being carved is very soft and easy to work with but it is then covered in surface bonded reinforced concrete on the inside and outside which is what gives me the structure incredible strength.
Historians are now claiming that this is the very same way the pyramids were built in Egypt. In fact, some of these dudes are the same guys who worked on that project.
Looks cool . Just a bit concerned that there doesn't appear to be any drainage around the structure and that could cause water damage and the building actually touches the ground .?
Nice timelapse - is this a commercial system - it looked like maybe a resin additive to the brick mix? From the finished look I thought maybe it was shotcrete sprayed over an inflatable form but that building system was unique.
Thanks. We have developed this system over the years and teach it to people who want to do cool DIY projects. It's straightforward for people with no building experience to learn. Other than the foaming agent, there are no unique materials or resin additives.
@@domegaiaspeaking of weak points, the cuts you made to the walls to embed pipes are also weak points. I don't know if it would withstand magnitude 2 earthquake. 😢
The first three seconds he says it is super strong and insulated. Also from my knowledge concrete, “aircrete,” or earthen domes are all basically earthquake- proof and fire-proof
I think you did an excellent job. I don’t mean to be negative. Another thing I would’ve done is maybe bought my windows first and built the house around the windows to get them at a better cost Compared to custom windows.
That is a good point. He had an issue with the windows when they came the wrong size from the manufacturer. It cost us a bunch of extra time to modify our plan to use them. I would definitely get them made ahead of time in the future :)
Well in my thoughts, I think it will payback once people see it’s bit the same old type of AirBnB “vibe”. It’s about to look, location, and what people can post on their social media and also take photos. If you hand something that’s different or at least stands out from the rest, then you’ll do better.
great job and good work but air create has got to the point they make inflatable domes that started out by stitching tyvek sheets together lol that they fill with a blower fan then cover them with chicken wire and blow the air create on just like spray foam or insulation spray it coat it one more wire layer spray it smooth it and then use fiberglass layers like these guys do ! do 1st 2 wire layers allow to dry remove the blow up dome and go to town with fiber glass layers until 6 to 8 inch thickness do a few domes with connective halls just build with cheap plywood rollable arch way hallway they do it the same way and just roll it to connect each dome 1 at a time. the stuff is great its just spray foam expansion foam mixed into actual concrete and you can do so much with the stuff! great stuff that seems to be kind of suppressed just like all the new innovative construction building materials etc not easy to push out the old dogs with infinity pockets, An endless stream of cash.
I love this project guys, just registered. Once the war is over, I might use your plans to build houses for my family in Ukraine. Thank you

I can no longer be a do it year self guy any more but I can se millions of others can do it wow the final product is great
Nice build! Would love a voiceover explaining what was being done, and why.
Thanks, we are working on another video with a voice-over and more about the details.
They build frames to hold up the builds, built molds to make blocks made of concrete foam, and stuccoed it and painted it.
Lovely build with so many traditional ways of shaping and combining innovative materials. Brilliant and beautiful

That's great , a nice home for one , or a cozy love nest for 2.
Well done. Respect 💪🏾🇺🇲
So it was an 8 week project and how many people worked on it? So impressed with how well done this video and the how organized the workers were. Also how much cement did this project take?
Thanks! It took about 88 bags of cement.

@ Have you seen the wet set ones in Roman crypts . They survived the churches 🤣
That was awesome. I want to build that exact dome! Thankyou so much!
I would love to build this along my kid for him. Nothing less nothing more. Would be a fun project.

I have my doubts that he took the materials and construction crew with him. They likely were sourced, you know, locally.
They are amazed that it hasn’t collapsed yet. Aircrete is light, but those walls are still sooo thin!

How would that hold up during a tornado? They moved from Canada to Arkansas, don’t think they get many of those up that way???

What was the fabric used to create the egg-shell surfaces? Fiberglass matt? Landscaping fabric?
It is a fiberglass mesh designed for use in stucco. When used correctly, it has an equivalent strength to steel.
