Concrete Dome Tiny Home - Full Tour! (800 sqft) 

I built a 24 foot monolithic dome my wife and I live in - in north Texas - I wouldn’t live in anything else - Wish I had fiber optic I’d be working at home too 😂😂😂

I've always like the idea of a concrete dome home. They appear to be invulnerable to just about anything and just look cool. Great video, thanks.

In Life magazine dated in the 1940's ,I ran across an article about balloon houses covered in concrete . This is not a new concept but think about . They made concrete block houses that lasted for years. This dome maintains the temperature you want. The article in Life magazine showed building two sizes next to each other and then building a walkway between the two . You could put the bathroom ,kitchen, and the laundry room in one and main living area in the other one .

A fascinating concept and perfect realization of an idea that both breaks away from the "traditional" idea of home-building aesthetics and provides an avenue for severe weather resistance. Here in the UK, I have often day-dreamed of selling it all for a small plot of land and permission to build an unobtrusive and sustainable home. This permission would likely be second biggest issue after purchasing the land, however. My knowledge of the USA (like many here) is limited to what is gleaned from the internet but, if these RU-vid channels are any indicator it appears there may be greater freedoms of personal choice when it comes to embarking on these personal projects. In the UK, the law around buildings can be very inflexible regardless of ownership status of the land one might wish to build on. In terms of larger developments in regions that are tornado prone, I do wonder why these concrete dome-homes are not the only option for dwellings in the USA considering the presumed far greater availability of land and less need for high density housing, which I believe is another barrier here in the UK? These dome houses appear to be (as one other commenter put it) "invulnerable to just about anything". Do keep up the content, if not too busy elsewhere. You seem like a charming couple and it would be great to have you continue to share your experiences. All the best.

S.western USA has those 'sacks of dirt' homes that astonished me.-amazed folks create a cozy life so different from what most think as norm.'

Love the way she talks about the tiny dome. Her voice is so calming. Love your tiny home, it’s beautiful.

The two of them have turned that space into a cozy, functional and comfortable tiny home. I love it!

I could live there, totally. I love nature and woods, and tiny homes lol Keep on Vlogging

I need one of those I am so sick of seeing every house look like a bunch of boxes. Great job!

If you dont have it yet, you have got to get a star projector to show the night sky on your dome ceiling!

This house is so cool! Love seeing all the different types of homes people live in!! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the tour. This is a perfect Airbnb place to get away from it all and keep it close just in case. Great videography Isaac.

Thanks for sharing. Im glad Issac, Jaylena, and Baby Ember were able to stay awhile. I think you did a great job. I would have to have a glider or swing out front though just because its my thing to do.

AWESOME Tour Isaac!Thanx for sharing the video,Greaaaat videography as Always! BEAUTIFUL Place!🥰

A house like that would be perfect in the tornado ridden Midwest only with more super tripled reinforced cement. Also, for that part of the country the portholes should have protective steel gates.

Very beautiful! ❤️🙏✌️👍👍❤️👶🏻🐱🐱

This is so rad

I love this. It is so beautiful.

Domes were the wave of the future back in the late 60s-early 70s.

Almost built one in Tampa.

Very Elegant 🥂🍾 love ❤❤

You have such an absolutely lovely home. I totally adore it! ❤😁

Cool 😎

What a lovely young couple.

Very cool. If you were to do something like this over again, what would you do differently to deal with all the cracking in the ceiling, walls, and floor? Do all of the concrete structures your family has built have this issue? Is there even a way to eliminate this in places that have a long wet season? Thank you.

Awesome

We have had dome houses here for many yrs. It went through a real surge at one time. Since Hobbiton, it has sprung back up. Many now have businesses, all thanks to Lord of The Rings trilogy. Thank you to Peter Jackson. The special built village where the movie was set, is very close to me. Thank you for the video.

That is so sick

I have been to Italy, Texas three times to see their domes.

Cool house! Not sure what this dome home has to do with Hobbits... maybe put sod on the roof, add a round entry door, fireplace, wood (tile) flooring and accents? I did notice the concrete is fracturing on the ceiling and floor. Hopefully the rebar will prevent structural damage, especially overhead. Good luck!

I Would sleep like a baby during tornado outbreaks while whole neighborhood is panicking and looking for shelter

Cool💯👌❤️

This should be the new way of living and building homes.. save tress for our oxygen and affordable for all.. I love it

You call it the reading and writing desk? What else COULD you call it exactly?

Thats so cool congrats guys!! Are there any plans i can find for this type of dome?

They're called "Monolithic Dome Homes" and there are HUNDREDS of floorplans and available modifications.

Looks like something from Star Wars, LOTR or Dragon Ball I love it!

Kool😊

Great dome home!!!.where did you get the port hole windows at???

I think I like the cement dome better than the yurt. They can get mold build up.

You seem like a very sweet couple. I am so glad you are living your dream.

Amazing home! Who did you use to build this dome?

Sweet

Great project!! Hope it works out well for you. Can you tell me the manufacture?

I could find myself living in something like this. I would have to have something like the mirrors for Windows where you can see out but people couldn't see in.

The inside echo would drive me nuts especially if I am watching stuff on the TV. I would try and find a way to install sound suppression on the ceiling to where it matches the looks of the décor. Other than that its a nice concept home.

What about all the fractures in the concrete above your heads? Do they all do that?

Take a drink everytime she says Hobbit 😂. I love these concrete dome homes but especially buried for temperature control!

I’m sure that’s fire proof

I gather that is one of the South's designs. Do you know when it was constructed? I happen to live north of Monolithic Dome's campus. We go there every few years to tour the many dome homes. Been doing so for decades.

Where did you get the outer layer of fabric or what? Thanks

How do you keep it cool.

Sharing on my fb page.

To make it true Hobbit home, you need a big arse round green door....just so Gandalf can knock himself out. BTW...loved all the artwork.

Just a thought -- what if you wanted to cover the port hole windows. They are so bright! Nice place, tho.

Muy lindo

Hey guys....Love the video....any tips on how to start build a dome house?

What does that come out to in CircleFt? ;)

When the house heats up does it let off toxic fumes and is it biofriendly?

Take a shot every time she says, "Hobbit." 🤣 jk just bein' silly 😊

4v Sr - 10.982 Sd - 21.963 Floor - 372.671 Circumforonce - 69 The measurements are about right, though I was instructed to build something different. Many rooms. No metal or wood.

What are the acoustics like?

I saw this exact home on Airbnb and I was instantly curious how much it costs to build something like this

If you don’t mind me asking was it cheaper to build this than say a house with wood?

How much does ot cost to build it? Cheaper than barndominium or more? Barndominium is around 110per sq ft.

I'm poor. Could I get one of these dome homes for under $50,000? I live in a rural area where they might allow one of these outside of city limits. But I can't afford more than $50,000.
