This made me laugh out loud. Girl I feel you. You probably are. There's always a sixth sense about these things. Dreams come true hun don't give up. I'm about to buy land and build a dome just like this using a USDA loan, 1% down!! First time home buyer grants too
Where is the bathroom? You know you can build wedges and fan them out as they go up from a center pole with a winding staircase to provide some more living ‘niches’ with futons or chairs, lamps, small bookcases to create some other areas for different uses. Just my personal idea. I’ve always thought the base should be cement with the laundry & bath in it under the home & out of sight. 👍☮️🌞🌟🌲🐾
Great question, our guess would be through the floor along with all the plumbing and electrical. We don't recommend puncturing the dome cover or liner, but the round windows can be used for things such as venting.
Nope, actually while they live in their dome, Justin and Erin are building a stick built home. The dome will then become a gathering place where they can coast host forest farming workshops and cooking classes through Dark Horse Acres.
How does the dome do with rough winds, can you hear it shake or rattle? How warm was. It in the winter? And how does it do against keeping bugs and critters out? Thanks for sharing the video!
The shape of the dome lends itself well to high winds as the wind can easily move over it, the frame does not rattle, but you can hear everything, including rain. The mini split system and wood stove keep the dome warm, up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The domes are sealed at the bottom, if you keep the doors closed the critters stay out, but spiders can and will come in with the wood for the wood stove.
@@PacificDomesInc I live in N.C. Texas in a double-wide trailer. It came with the property. But it was put here in 1982 and is in poor shape. I hate trailers and I want to get rid of it and go with one of these. It would be another year before I can do it. After the great freeze we had last winter I'm looking for wind resistance and strength and warmth. Also, it gets hot here in the summer. I think one of these would be a great affordable way to go.
Bonjour Marc, Pacific Domes' liners are ideal for hot weather due to the Oxford Nylon Cloth material backed with Thinsulate®. The liners are crafted from breathable materials that allow air circulation, preventing heat buildup inside the dome. They also incorporate reflective elements that bounce sunlight away, reducing heat absorption and keeping the interior cooler. While designed to keep warmth in during winter, the liners also help regulate temperature by providing insulation against outdoor heat, keeping the interior comfortable.
Hi Kalankit, We sell dome kits and offer floor plans. What people do inside their domes varies as greatly as those who buy them. We offer ideas and inspirations, but not specifics on interior build outs.
@@ThaiOclockJourney The warranty is 5 years, but the domes will last much longer, especially if you take good care of them and take measures to prevent UV damage.
Hello - Pacific Domes offers two custom insulative liners, one utilizes Thinsulate™. In addition, Thermoshield™ paint, an insulative coating can be applied to the exterior to reflect the sun or in the interior to reflect internal radiant heat e.g. from a stove. For additional thermal comfort in warmer climates, a solar exhaust fan can also be installed. Regarding building approvals - these vary depending on the site/local regulations. Our clients gain necessary approvals in their area. As our community of dome dwellers grows around the world, Increasingly, authorities are open to on and off-grid applications. Thanks for your inquiry, please contact us at +1 541-488-7737 if you need any further information. Happy solstice!
Sure, the 1) dome (frame and cover) is $7,850. The insulated liner shown here is an additional $6,500, 3-layers of fabric custom sewn to fit the dome (where all the labor lies). We don't provide 2) decks or 3) flooring, that is up to the client. But we do offer free floor plans:pacificdomes.com/downloads/#dome-floor-plans Hope this helps!
I'd imagine it depends on where you are. I'm in NYS and just stared working with the building department and this is classified as a semi-permanent structure
Our Domes can be outfitted and customized however you want! Some of our clients in warmer climates have built outdoor bathrooms and some have created lofts for enough space for a modern kitchen and full size bathroom! With our domes, anything is possible!
Depending on how you use your Dome, you could outfit a bathroom within for a more traditional home environment or build a compostable outhouse for a more rugged and off-the-grid living!
Some Dome Home owners choose to build their bathrooms outside! With our 36' Dome Home, you have the ability to build up within the Dome - creating a loft space for sleeping/living and using the extra space below as your bathroom!
Hello Parker, Our 36' dome is $17,570 and made in USA. You can replace the bay window when needed and enjoy other quality customer service by calling us directly and talking to a real person. That is something that is more difficult to get with some of the companies making domes in China.
Some people build a "bathhouse" outside their dome, while others build bathrooms inside their dome. We sell the dome kits, people come up with all types of solutions for kitchens and bathrooms.
@@PacificDomesInc Wow, a whole year later! 😂 I chose to put my bathroom inside in a L10 x W10 x H7 "box" and put my loft bedroom on top of it. Just waiting on a response from your sales team, so I can submit payment.
Thank you for your query. Our Geodesic Domes are utilized as both temporary and permanent structures. Because they are light, inexpensive and easy to ship, rapidly built and taken down, they're ideal for short term use e.g. events, disaster response, and mobile glamping. Because they're engineered to be extremely strong, durable and comfortable many people make homes in our domes (Dwell Domes). We have clients who've lived in dwell domes for over 30 years - relative to climate, the covers wear well up to approx. 20 years. Eco and glamping resorts worldwide also utilize the domes as permanent structures. The interior and 'living' qualities of our geodesic domes are further reasons to consider them as an alternative to more traditional structures. The unique thermal, spatial and energetic qualities of the dome form create an open and airy space and a real sense of calm and wellbeing. All of the services for the dome can be brought into the space through the floor and when compared with structures of similar volume, domes remain the most efficient structures and deliver great value for relatively low cost.

awwww you guys are awesome I'm crying because this is my dream and like I might be starting my period soon idk
Oh my goodness, same
Wonderful statement 👏

Just amazing. Enjoy.
Thank you!
I can't wait to get mine!
How is it
What a fantastic setup! Thank you!
Such a great set up wow I love it!!
Ain't it? There's endless great possibilities within our domes!
I love the Herman Miller Eames chair.
Wheres the washroom? Is it possible to get a smaller dome that has a hallway to attach to this?
I fucking love this...
Do you know you can turn the camera side ways it called wide screen
Thank you for this video. I wonder what your off grid set up is to power a mini split?
Most of our off-grid Dome'rs use solar!

How did you cut through it for the mini split? Or did you go through the floor?

@@PacificDomesInc so for a chimney flue, how do you make this work?
@@alextalarico959 We sell a kit for that and offer window locations in the dome designed to vent the wood stove/chimney.

Could you put two of these side by side joining at the doors?
Yes you can! We can customize your door locations so that two domes can be attached.

Awesome video! Wheres the toilet? outside.
Many people have actually installed restrooms inside their domes. You can install plumbing, or a composting toilet.
When you cook, will the smoke runs all over the room?
Pretty much, unless you install a fan with your stove and vent it out of one of the round windows.
What is the system for building that wall that the AC is embedded in?

The dome cover is warrantied for 5 years, the clear marine vinyl is warrantied for 2 years, both pro rated.
@@PacificDomesInc wait. I watched ine of your faq clip. He said cover lasts about 10 years. Clear one should last 8 years

There was no bathroom?

Air circulation point????
Beautiful and you guys are making great use of the space Also. So, when did you erect the Dome and how long have you been living in it to date?
Justin and Erin have been living in their dome since the fall of 2018.
Hi, Looks good. Did you have to buy land to build it on?
We shared this video of a client who has now built two domes on their land.
Do you have a bathroom?
These people built a bathhouse outside of the dome. They lived in the dome for 2 years while building their stick built house.
