Dome house - WHY?
ARCHITECTURE
For many years, we had a dream. There was a period of time when it was forgotten, but not for long. After living in different countries, we are now home again, but only one thing is missing: our dream home.
It is getting very popular to build dome summer houses or some public places, but our dream is to live in one. Why dome? Well, there is a very good feeling in this kind of house; it is like a temple for your soul.
For those who believe in such things, there is no dark corner for bad energy, and for those who don't, there are simply fewer unused, dead corners at home.
Talking about the construction of the house, dome is the strongest shape. Strong winds are just going around it; walls are holding the walls. Even if a truck with high speed crashed into a house like this, it would cause damage only to the wall it hit. To compare with regular constructions, which would go down like a house of cards if the holding part got strong damage.
A dome house is a money-saving option, especially in cold areas where you need warmth in the winter. First of all, warm air in the house is moving up, so as soon as it reaches the ceiling, it stops and holds in there, but in a dome house, because of its unique form, the air keeps moving in circles, so the temperature in the house is more even. If you build a fireplace in the middle of the house, in a lot of cases it can be enough to keep the whole house warm. In a dome house, you can place some windows a little bit higher than usual, which will allow more sunlight to come inside the house.
If we looked into nature, we would find out that most animals have round homes. The reason for this is the same as I already mentioned: it's a warm, strong, and cozy form. Animals don't have special technologies like we do, but they have a perfect sense of what is best for them, and sometimes we should learn from them.
