I agree with Jeff DeWitt, it definitely has character - one can read your special, personal attributes through the creation of your home. It's very serene, the earthen colours give it its warm - welcoming touch, mingled with the coolness of the water and lush. It seems like a touch from the 'Garden of Eden'! I wish you much health and happiness in your awesome home, Steve.
I have never seen anything so perfect in all my 66 years (other than my wife of 45 years). I am just stunned to tears (literally). You are truly blessed.
Steve you are a genius and your house is an inspiration to all - we don't need huge mcmansions. The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances. And you are proving this
"Yes!" I love Roger Dean's work! My hope is to go more earthy, but still keep the beautiful shape, simplicity and weather friendliness. I'll be happy to share when this happens. Thanks!
So homey! Love those window nooks and the oblong shapes! The gorgeous lacquered slab table is also perfection in that spot! The huge round living room window for a picturesque view is ideal! The most beautiful and inviting tiny home I have ever seen! Hats off to the builder and designer!
this emotionally touched me ..to see someone building his nest, paying attention for every detail, realizing the dream...fantastic! looks to me something not done to win a design prize or make money (deep respect for designers) but felt with heart. Complimets for the objectively nice and personal aesthetic.
How serene, how beautiful! your video made me cry. It has been my childhood dream to live in a "sphere" home (like yours). I've been tricked & robbed of my own home, my life-long dream... I wish I could get a new home like yours, so that bitter feeling can be permanently replaced by bliss. Thank you for sharing & please enjoy your happiness.
So sorry to hear about you loosing your home. I hope soon a beautiful home will bring you much bliss. When you can find the perfect place to build, let me know. Maybe I can give you information that will help you build the perfect home. Best wishes
Steve Areen Thank you so very much for your sweet encouragement! Yes, I will not give up and will not give up to find even a better place to set up my new home... It would be a fantastic extra motivation to look up to your advice and guidance, in the coming months & years, when I finally gather back all necessary resources and perfect venue for a little paradise! Sincerely, Sophi
This doesn't look dangerous at all! absolutely genius. It inspired me to make my dreams come true. Divorced; kid's are grown; Dr said "you're retired, no more gigging with the bands". LOL... okay, got my doggy and me. This IS inspiration dude. Just pulled out my plans for 20yrs ago for remodeling. The wife said "nope"...so guess what? Just when you thing it's all over, here you come..!! Thanks ...I love it!
That is one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen in this size. Unfortunately, it can't be realized where I live...stupid building regulations forbid that kind of creative houses to be build. However, It has for sure given me inspiration for a project for my garden. There are no regulations that forbid me to build a "shed for gardening tools"..lol.
Chris P. Bacon Not so much around my neck of the woods. 🙂 The only restrictions is it's got to be build safe and it can't be larger than a given size. You see, no one would believe it is just a shed, if one build 200 m2.
This home is beautiful and very peaceful. I’m feeling those negative ions again. Wow, Steve your imagination knows no bounds. Don’t ever stop creating. You have a talent that needs to be shared. Thank you, I’m feeling very calm right .I’ve got that Peaceful Easy Feeling.
You're livin' my Dream Steve! Thanks for the inspiration and revived Hope! Hope you don't mind but you've provided the final blueprint for my future tiny home!!!!
Man, I do not have words to express how awesome your house is. I just discovered domebuilding and aircrete after many years pondering of creating a container/tiny house home. Wow my mind is exploding with ideas here Im sitting in a bungalow in the currently rainy Brazilian atlantic rainforest. Thanks so much Steve for sharing your home, photos, music, everything. I think you got a spectacularly good energy and I really appreciate what youve shared. Im currently adventuring through South America on a quest to find lots of things, and amongst them a property to build myself just one of these. So maybe one day Ill put up my video, too. Lots of love to you man, Abração //Sebastian
Thanks so much, Sebastian! Look forward to seeing your dream home there is beautiful Brazil! Contact me when you are ready to build! My friends at DomeGaia and I are constantly improving how we build. Happy adventuring, brother!!
Steve, you have a literally dream come true...I have watched this video so many times and it feels like a dream that is untouched by the intrusions of our society.
Steve this house looks amazing! I love all the accents and personality you’ve given it but I REALLY love what you’ve done with the shower. No curtain, just plants to soak up the excess water. Lastly, thank you for taking the time to put this video together to show the rest of us what’s possible! I know video editing is a lot of work. Thank you again!
Thank you so much! I am so glad I did this video, as well! So amazing how many people it has inspired ...all over the world! Riding on this wave of enthusiasm, we have made remarkable improvements to our dome building methods over the years. And it just keeps getting better! Cheers!
I absolutely love your home. It's absolutely beautiful and exquisite. Peaceful, natural, quiet and hoarder free. I'm absolutely inlove with the architectural style and design. I'm very impressed. The way you organized it is amazing.
Well I would just love one of these in my son's backyard.. perfect for a single grandmother... my grandchildren would love coming over.. I can just picture myself telling them stories in that place... such a sweet peaceful abode... perfect atmosphere for story telling and sleeping!!! You did a wonderful job on this place.. Beautiful is an understatement!
What a beautiful personal oasis! My favorite parts are the bathroom (especially that sink!) and the climb up to the meditation platform. A wonderful little retreat! ❤️
how come houses cost like 30-50 times as much as what this guy paid o.0 why can't they just build affordable houses like this which even look great too!
Building codes are written by Government (cough industry) to guarantee our safety (cough their profits), Its a wonder in itself that the human race evolved without building codes.
lorenzo501 GREAT QUESTIONS, ,& of course Greed is where the Real Estate market has its head. I wonder how long these prices can.last. This house has lots of love put into it. It's charming ,quaint , & beaming with good energy A.K.A. LOVE. Congratulations. When Art meets your Home.
great but looks a bit dangerous...slippery stairs and platform. I'd add bushes to the left of the initial staircase(to catch in case of a slip), and some sort of railing system for the hammock area. How much did it cost in materials? It is amazing. Love the window sills large enough to lay in. Everything about this is great.
Yep, it is magic. And, yep, is dangerous. You might actually have to be aware of yourself and your environment and take responsibility for your own safety. Where's big Brother when you need him. (Written with gentle humor. No malice intended.)
Thanks for sharing your creativity, the truth is that long ago that was looking for the kind of home I needed and I believe that, thanks to your video I found. A hug and congratulations!
Woo hoo! For the past couple of years I have been looking at dome homes planning a build in the southern California desert and kept seeing images of this home, but was unable to find anything giving the name of the designer. Watched a tiny house video and boom, there you were. Off to the website to see how this plan would do in high heat and possible flash floods.
How does someone with no professional background build/create such a magnificent dwelling? The raw organic primitivism radiates energy and magical realism. Perfect rich colors and materials complimented with little innovative touches. I love how the outdoors is brought inside through the copious windows.
This is amazing, a home without TV, video games & other electronic distractions. If more people lived like this maybe there wouldn't be so much violence in the world. Godspeed Steve.
WOW!!! Steve what a great home you have built. A real credit to you I am sure you could make a great living building this type of dwellings for other people very beautiful structure
What a beautiful and inspirational person you are, Steve! :) So many Awakening Implications in this life in harmony with Nature and ... well - away from the matrix... Wishing You All The Best, Brother! Peace and Love
Oh this is simply stunning. I believe my favorite part of the whole thing is the lovely window seat. I can only imagine how cozy it would be to curl up in one with a good book. You've a lovely home. Thanks for sharing.
Hey, Steve, You have the best house ever man...it s breath taking. Be proud of it . It is way more comfortable and cozier than some mansions I know. Good vibrations from Brazil.
I'm happy to have found the link after watching Bryce's Living Big in Tiny Homes, and Steve's absolutely beautiful masterpiece vardo type tiny home on a farm in Australia. The design and craftsmanship is breathtakingly beautiful.
House is well suited to it's surroundings.. Nong Khai is one of the most beautiful places on earth, with the most beautiful people. Steve is a lucky man!
Absolutely amazing, gorgeous, simple, functional, all natural elements, it's perfect! I looked at every single picture from your website and I was really delighted. Congratulations it's a dream!!!
I adore your design, colors, textures, materials, plumbing hardware, stairs, furnishings, plants and landscaping, pond, all of it. You've created such a spacious feeling in a small sized home. The Feng Shui layout works so well. An excellent video, music, filming.. you're an exceptional talented artist in everything you do! I've wanted to live in a dome home since I saw my first one in Paris at a home show in 1974. The Dome Home designs were done in white, and built on the cliffs of the Greek islands, and later featured in Architectural Digest magazine. Some of the larger expanded domes homes were clustered together, with multiple dome rooms, and some water features, ponds and circulating streams flowing alongside the terraced homes. Spectacular! Have you seen them? I've bookmarked your website so I can follow what you do in the future. Bravo!
Wow $10 for a dump truck load of dirt, and He will even spread it out for you. :) What a deal. Really nice place you got your self. The stairs, bathroom sink, and front door are fantastic. Nice Photos as well. Thanks for sharing.
This is so incredibly beautiful! You take my breath away. Congratulations! Beautiful plants near the shower. No problem giving them a lick of water as you shower. Simple and wonderful living utilizing materials around you. Beautiful colour you incorporated into the render.
I worked in the housing industry for six years and never came close to finding a house design this beautiful or interesting. Well done.
Thanks! Yes.. why live in a box when you can live in art... Cheers!
You are a true artist.
True! I've been dreaming of building these back in Africa. Any tutorials please Steve?
Nice quote!
my newborn loves this music
I was holding him while I was watching and he gave me a big beautiful smile everytime I played it
Watch this about 10 years ago glad I found it again very inspiring for my build in Jamaica
Stunning!! You can really feel the happiness radiating from this home!
Thanks, Diana! :)

Agreed, most people don't need a big home. However, the size of the home ultimately depends on how many people are planning on living with you.
"Yes!" I love Roger Dean's work! My hope is to go more earthy, but still keep the beautiful shape, simplicity and weather friendliness. I'll be happy to share when this happens. Thanks!
I would love to see you commissioned to do an entire neighborhood of homes like this.
That bathroom is amazing
Hi
The design, the flowers and horticulture, the music....yeah, this guy is flaming!
I want to run away to this place and never leave. What paradise.
So homey! Love those window nooks and the oblong shapes! The gorgeous lacquered slab table is also perfection in that spot! The huge round living room window for a picturesque view is ideal! The most beautiful and inviting tiny home I have ever seen! Hats off to the builder and designer!
Thanks! That is my hope for the future for sure!
this emotionally touched me ..to see someone building his nest, paying attention for every detail, realizing the dream...fantastic! looks to me something not done to win a design prize or make money (deep respect for designers) but felt with heart. Complimets for the objectively nice and personal aesthetic.
Thanks so much, Lilly! :)
This is nothing short of beautiful! And it's presented so wonderfully with the music and the pacing! I'd sit here for an hour and watch!
Beautiful...I guess the Thai government has better things to do than micromanage how people build their homes.Very cool stuff. Form and function.
You sir, have done it correctly. I applaud you for living your dream. It is inspiring to others.
How serene, how beautiful! your video made me cry. It has been my childhood dream to live in a "sphere" home (like yours). I've been tricked & robbed of my own home, my life-long dream...

sheds have specifics too
Chris P. Bacon Not so much around my neck of the woods. 🙂
The only restrictions is it's got to be build safe and it can't be larger than a given size. You see, no one would believe it is just a shed, if one build 200 m2.
+Kalle Klæp if you plan to have water or power there are bro
Chris P. Bacon The power would be ok, but a water supply would likely cause problems. I would need a very good explenation for that..lol
+Kalle Klæp many tools require regular cleaning and servicing a simple "service table" and sink me thinks
I just love your house so restful looking and beautiful and so different.
I can't believe how fabulous this dome home is - especially now that I'm planning on simplifying my life; it's the perfect home for me!
This home is beautiful and very peaceful. I’m feeling those negative ions again.
Wow, Steve your imagination knows no bounds. Don’t ever stop creating. You have a talent that needs to be shared.
Thank you, I’m feeling very calm right .I’ve got that Peaceful Easy Feeling.
Thanks, Carol! :)
You're livin' my Dream Steve! Thanks for the inspiration and revived Hope! Hope you don't mind but you've provided the final blueprint for my future tiny home!!!!

This is AWESOME!!! My only question is how can there be 73 dislikes?!?!?
Wow, OMG !😍 Hey, Steve, I'm coming to you tomorrow ...😂
Stunning.
Perfectly built with an eye for detail and quality.
What a beautiful personal oasis! My favorite parts are the bathroom (especially that sink!) and the climb up to the meditation platform. A wonderful little retreat! ❤️
Un espectáculo... Lo máximo y que excelente diseño. FELICITACIONES COMPADRE! :D
So beautiful and SO amazing!! When can I move in...? lol =))
Just wow! What a serene, cosy and stunning home. I'd probably need a more functional kitchen but I love the rest of it. Well done.
Love your place and Thailand is forever in my heart.
how come houses cost like 30-50 times as much as what this guy paid o.0 why can't they just build affordable houses like this which even look great too!

because governments suck
lorenzo501 GREAT QUESTIONS, ,& of course Greed is where the Real Estate market has its head. I wonder how long these prices can.last. This house has lots of love put into it. It's charming ,quaint , & beaming with good energy A.K.A. LOVE. Congratulations. When Art meets your Home.
lorenzo501 Because, home building is a racket, and the government gets involved because of the money involved.
lorenzo501 hi Lorenzo how much it costs ? A dome house like this ?
Its Awesome!!!!
speechless..
I like your dome home and your music. That is so beautiful and peaceful.
Thanks!
Yours is one of the most appealing dome homes I've seen. Well done!
How is the heat inside the domes? How do you account for airflow to mitigate mould build up? Thanks
great but looks a bit dangerous...slippery stairs and platform. I'd add bushes to the left of the initial staircase(to catch in case of a slip), and some sort of railing system for the hammock area.
How much did it cost in materials? It is amazing. Love the window sills large enough to lay in. Everything about this is great.
Yep, it is magic.

How it is after 8 years?
How does someone with no professional background build/create such a magnificent dwelling? The raw organic primitivism radiates energy and magical realism. Perfect rich colors and materials complimented with little innovative touches. I love how the outdoors is brought inside through the copious windows.
What a most beautiful dream this is!!! It looks like heaven on earth. Bravo M8. Well done!
Do you have the plan for this structure? I would really like to build one in Kenya
awww, greatings to kenya! hope one day can build one like this in laos.
Who in their right mind would thumbs down this video??
Idiots!
Probably some unhappy troll.
maybe it is the music
charles junior
I like the music. Especially on this particular video. It's HIS music. He's a musician.
Building Contractors in the US. They gave multiple thumbs down.
This is amazing, a home without TV, video games & other electronic distractions. If more people lived like this maybe there wouldn't be so much violence in the world. Godspeed Steve.
This is a really nice and peaceful looking place. Thanks for sharing.
Genial !!!
How much does this cost in total?
Oh my goodness, Steve, this is incredible. The music plus the video swept me away to a dream place. I love what you built!!
WOW!!! Steve what a great home you have built. A real credit to you I am sure you could make a great living building this type of dwellings for other people very beautiful structure
