- The 500-year ceramic geodesic dome home is now an actual physical reality.
I first wrote about Geoship's plan to build long-lasting, inexpensive, earth-friendly, community-centric homes about 3 years ago. Last year, Geoship showed me a prototype. Now there's an actual built, powered, and furnished dome home in Nevada City, California.
In this TechFirst, we chat with Geoship founder Morgan Bierschenk, see the dome first-hand, and get some insight into pricing, availability, technology, and livability.
The first dome home is the 18-foot diameter model. But ultimately, Geoship plans to make domes that are anywhere from 1500 to 3000 square feet. A large individual dome might be 1,000 square feet, but can be combined and connected with smaller domes for bedrooms, kitchens, home gyms, living rooms ... pretty much anything. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Solar built into the wall panels would be perfect icing on the cake
Only if it is removable for repair and replacement, and only if you have an external spiral walkway so you can CLEAN the surface of ALL of them as well as service and replace. And only as long as the "done" is fire resistant.. as this is a common and frequent problem ELECTRICAL FIRES...
I spent many years in construction trades trying to explain this while concept to others as they rolled their eyes at me. Dymaxion home coming back!
People rolling their eye's were stuck in a box and brain dead.
I bought Domebook 2 in the 70's and built a smaller 3V dome then. I like this concept a lot but want to see more details on how they seal all the joints since that has always been a major issue. Would love to see hub design, mechanics, etc of how these actually go together.
good question!
geodesics is Cosmos' natural 3D shape, having a geodesic home is the natural space to live in, blending not only with nature, but with spacetime, coming into contact with consciousness, disease free and at ease.
Congratulations Geoship!
indeed. how to be free? be without the box. #thinkingwithoutthebox #sphericalthinking #synergetics #wayofthespheres
Incredibly excited for these homes and all the Regenerative Villages that will be formed with them!
Epic work Geoship!
Please get more funding to put this on a faster track!! Abrupt climate change is here, and the world needs this yesterday! Funny, not funny. Please do another crowd funding round, I want to give a little...what I can do to support it. May the force be with you!!!!
I can’t wait 16 years for the mass production of these
Thank you for this. RBF's vision in its birth stage. My first dome model was 1960 when I was 10. I have all his books. I also have a need for a dome upgrade to my crudely built cabin before the snow load of heavier winter snowfalls collapse it. Or else I fall off the roof when I have to shovel it to ease the load on the poorly constructed roof framing. Maybe I will live long enough to see this come to fruition. The world needs RBF ideas.
I will gladly take your home if you want to leave it to me or have me come and do maintenance or raise pitch of roof
@@1truthseeking8 Money is the issue. I am retired on low income.
I’m so glad to find your channel.
Interesting to know how it is acoustically: like in a restaurant or cafe with box shape, lots of people all end up shouting to overcome the echoes ...
Didn't watch the First video, didn't watch the Second video, didn't read the story... Hey... That's me... Just came across my feed this minute...

Geodesic Domes have been in existence for years. They are great!
I got here searching 'ceramic houses' looking for Nader Kahlili work on high temperature - fired clay houses in full size; won him architectural awards in Persia
This idea is cool
Panels of ceramic
thank you for the video
Thanks for this video. Lots of great stuff in here.
I live in a more northern latitude, and most of the homes here have some kind of basement. Would there be much difficulty in building a full sphere with part of the sphere below the frost line?
I'm guessing it would be more like a cylinder as a foundation to get below the frost line. Half burying a sphere sounds difficult.
I asked Morgan about that before and he said no problem at all.
@@raf-alski7637 There might be slight misunderstanding... He might have meant a circular foundation with the cylinder on top... Why bury part of your head room...
@@bosatsu76 because below the frost line ...underground... the temperature stabilizes , so temperature control becomes easier. you can still get lots of natural light underground (during the day, natch.) solatube.com/residential/tubular-skylights/
You could continue the sphere below the frost line. However, if the goal is a basement, a cylinder below ground, with a dome up top would be better.
We're enjoying seeing the progress on this concept. Looking forward to more as the journey continues. Thanks for sharing.
I've been following since the beginning. I've got my land, I'm just waiting on the technology.
I am curious, because I want to buy land that would allow me to build a geo-dome on the property, in what state is your property? TY :)
Sorry, I just saw your question. I'm in rural NC. My only restriction is no mobile homes, but modular and pre-built homes are okay.
I like the space station look.
Lived in a 3o ft 3/4 dome (the purple dome at Pacific High) made with wood struts and crude asphalt roofing. It had a great loft and entry was a staircase through the floor. Had great acoustics but leaked terribly. Cool to see this living art form being advanced. It was part of a cluster an alternative community including a shower dome, separate bedroom domes and on the land…. Good times
Wow, that looks incredible. Great project for an off-grid option! I'm looking at an inexpensive piece of desert property, and am left wondering how it would do in the desert? Great project, I hope to be one of your first customers once your up and running. If you do tours, I live close and would love to make the trip. Thanks and good luck!
Huh, not sure, but I think it might be ideal b/c the thick walls will help keep it cool in the day and warm at night. Morgan would know better, although I don't know if they've tested it in multiple climates.
The domes will be awesome in the desert because the ceramic reflects over 80% of radiant heat (cool roof effect). The tight envelope could also enable an "adiabatic cooling" effect.
@@johnkoetsier"like an epoxy" ...sounds like a TOXIC OFFGASSING and chemical toxicity as it breaks down overtime NIGHTMARE in the making.... Can't wait. My lawyer is on speed dial
I'm almost afraid to ask, how much would a 30' dome cost if it were ready.
Also could it be built underground.
Great vision, spirit, and mission. I look forward to this being a solution for the near future and wish them great success!
Can't wait until these are available to the public! Looking to establish an early Christian-style modern co-op and these would be perfect. Have been following Geoship for quite some time and it's exciting to see the prototype.
@geoship - I do have a question about the windows, if there will be custom sunshades/blinds available to block light and heat. Also if the windows are double-paned for enhanced temperature regulation. It's difficult to tell from the video.
I heard from geoship they plan on start delivery in 2025
I love the video 1st of all amazing work I can see it being the future of housing
I think best house is the house that made from local materials without overseas supplies and possibly to use own labour. For Australia I think best is rammed earth house, strong and most suitable and works well with Australian climate
Can you put a wood stove in there for northern climates?
Thanks Morgan and John ! I love domes and all the benefits .All the best for your plans.Only advice I would offer is stay away from big brother as much as you can future of humanity is in small communities without corporations called state or any for of big government.HPL to ALL !
This guy is not the best spokesman for this... but this looks like one of the very best options out there. I'm really into this company.
About the most unimaginative video on yt. And possibly one of the best ideas. Hand waving doesn't do much in the way of illustrating anything. But good luck all the same.
Cool!
beautifullllllllll!, when will they be available in France?, the future of holistic, disease-free housing
When do you expect the dome to be ready to order and deliver. I live outside of America and Canada in Tbilisi Georgia.
Geoship wrote me to say they plan on delivery in 2025 not sure about outside US delivery times. Greetings❣️ from a fellow dreamer about geoship home ownership
This is my dream home..
Yep
Yes. By any chance do you know where I can start if I want to build this type of house?
@@anhthubui318 they plan on building it from molds but dome homes in general let me look.... I'd Google dome home kits and go from there I'm pulling for you good luck my friend.
how are they heated
I'd like to know how you are going to get city and county approval to build those as houses. Banks don't usually loan money for the unconventional mortgage loan.
I'm more interested in a passive solar design, glass only on the south side.
How would you put a solar curtain on it.
interesting! not sure if you can pick no windows for a side, or something like that
use stainless steel frame and Carbon fibre sheets to make domes
Haven’t heard any pricing but if you can build yourself that will save prob at least 30%. Maybe he will mention pricing before it’s over
Any links to more info ? Your guests contact info ?
Why is it that you never seem to show the inside. And what about the limitation on land and being to build it stacking to make more livings space per square foot.
In Australia tiny house at least $100.00
Brawo !!!!!!
how much do they cost
" The base price for an 18-foot dome is $33,000, while a larger 1100 square foot dome is priced at $110,000. As manufacturing scales up, the company aims to reduce the cost of these homes by at least 50%."

@@johnkoetsierand the R-value is?
from Canada cold climate is affordable with our dollar now
2nd all jokes aside the bold head guy looks like the actor who playing the thing on fantastic four 🤣🤣🤣💯
WOW
Yes, I agree it would be interesting to know the process and history of the material proposed to seal the joints. I will take "500" years as hyperbole at this stage...Cultural conditioning should also be taken into account in marketing. Having lived in a dome 30 days in the Fall at 57deg N light is more important than one might imagine. Plus, I hate to say it, I missed the defined spaces of linear walls and ceilings. I can see myself building a dome. But not everyone will feel comfortable living in the space.
i think the shell membrane of the geodesic domes is just that: a shell. to make wise homes with rooms and infinite fractal possibilities the other two basic shapes of spacetime besides the dozeneighteyes 'icosahedron' present in these domes, namely the complementary foureyes ('tetrahedron') and eighteyes ('octahedron') that together constitute the isotropic vector matrix of closest drawn spheres would be a wiser choice for the creation of interior rooms and such. the beauty of those is that they not only embody structure, therefore come with all the integrities missing in our current convention of 'cubes', they embody a synthesis of those 'straight' lines and the spheres as that is exactly what they are: the shapes created by the geodesic, meaning shortest, least resistance and effort, connections within the relationships of closest drawn spheres.

@@HaileISela Fascia has icosahedron and other...look for the poly dodecaicosahedron ...if I have that correct...
Ceramics are known for being BRITTLE and FRACTURING when structures settle or in earthquake...or even high wind forces...
33 000$ for this dome ! I wish you'll share the receipe of the ceramic material, (in this ''social pretention'') as anyway the most expensive part of cost of housing is the land. Housing problem is caused by private ownership by the wealthiest, and speculation on it and building material.....
Love everything about it besides the AI glasses shit lol
This dome takes the resonance effect of a drum and adds chimes! Oy, it couldn't function in community because it actuates sound!!!
Making all vibrations an active quadraphonic environment. As if living inside a piano box. It amplifies instead of isolates exterior phenomenon. Not at all what people desire in a home. People expect homes to be sheltering from the exterior reality and not a function to accumulate and accentuate the exterior happening.
It’s greenwashing for an epoxy dome
This is VERY true. Noticed how he glossed over the TOXIC as F aspect of his environmentally pollutant building material...
@@1truthseeking8 Plant based epoxy?
what if a tree fell on it
It depends on the tree. It might bounce off, or it might do the same level of damage that would be done to a conventional house.
Geodesic domes are much stronger than a traditional home usually much stronger but larger enough tree doesn't matter also same with a traditional house
I really wish more Big funders would invest! Love the idea
😢
It really tells that the guest has a STEM background with no construction experience, so he has spent a lot of brainpower to optimize for the wrong parameter. A home needs to provide as much as possible horizontal space as possible, that also has: a moisture and heat barrier against the outside, controlled air intake (ventilation), natural light throughout, and durability.
1) A circular shape is terrible for moisture control, because as water slides down the roof it will have an opportunity to test every microcrack and joint, which are never absent because of thermal expansions and contractions. So you either remove windows, or make durable, hermetically perfect window joints, which shoots the costs of build and repair into the sky.
2) Humans can only use horizontal space, so circular shape is not the most efficient per useful space.
In conclusion, this technology has good wind and earthquake resistance at the cost of everything else. There is also no research to support the idea that geopolymer concrete is more durable than classic high and ultra-high grade concrete. So the endpoint of this technology is going to be a more expensive monolithic concrete home.
It would be a nice "fancy" tall greenhouse for tropical rainforest type fruit trees, etc...or a barely useable/climate control nightmare for a yoga / meditation ...but other than the pyramid & geodesic "attraction" ...there is little else...
Read another comment about *icosahedron* which is found in fascia in the body at the macro micro and nano scale repeating but not sure it can be applied on a structural building to any positive effect...as we rarely see any examples of such dynamic structures in large scales.
Is anyone actually building and selling these or is this another fund raising stunt?
