Finally, a builder that is willing to go outside traditional Jamaican homes. This is refreshing.
Very
There are MANY here... MANY professional and experienced designers... builders... tradesmen and skilled craftsmen here.... SOME clients just dont want to:
1. Hire the professionals (they just want a mason that does carpentry electrical and plumbing)
2. do a Bill Of Quantities (to confirm the budget and project spending)
3. follow a due process from concept to getting approvals (thinking why its a poor island why do we need to... lets just tell the mason to start)
4. often want everything that is outside their budget for nothing.. then they end up selecting persons who have to negotiate lower prices by lowering quality based on cost!
I see it a lot in my daily job at my desk and in the field ( I am called to either fix it or help them out) never or rarely from the beginning!!!
it only makes sense to try our best to work in harmony with nature as much as possible
@@APointJM I wish to present a credible side. Local J'cans do not understand that they are working for the client and they r not trained to listen. To them it's not about what the client wants but rather what they want, so u end up with a nightmare.
Many want to scam and rip you off especially if you are a returning resident. The general rule of thumb is that there is very little accountability because they have " connections" and everyone is very aware- the end result can be quite sinister. This construction company hopefully is not of that mindset and will do well because they put the client first which neans they are being professional. I wish them success.
@@anngore3842 I understand that exists and have posed the experienced issues based on "credible" evidence also. It is great but THIS construction company (or builder) is NOT and NEVER was the ONLY one. MANY reputable business professionals with successful projects DONT "want to scam and rip you off especially if you are a returning resident" Yet some would like to paint that picture of greedy and ignorance because of lack of due diligence. There are actually several University local that produce professionals in the Built Environment that can plan, manage and execute the project scope and the HEART-VTC has certified person that can execute the tasks (same people who go overseas to work-for-hire projects).
I have seen MANY cases where instead of hiring registered and reputable company/ businesses they just hire a friend cousin or the recommended brother of someone... any time they can sign a "minor contract works" contract based on a certified bill of quantities (BOQ) then they will STOP getting ripped off.
This is black excellence . Very long-lasting ancient technology brought into the future.
Julia has created her own paradise.The house has some morrocan and mediterranean vibe to it.The location is worth a million.
I agree about the vibe of the house but I think there is a lack of taste in bringing her old square and rectangular furniture from england.
she should throw them away and go for custom made stuff that marry elegantly to the shape of the walls, she also needs an interior advisor service to add some color patches and optimize that type of space.
My husband and I are inspired by tiny houses in the US and plan to build a small home. There is no point trying to build a big house just because everyone else doing that. We look forward to adding sustainable features as well.
True and when visitors come let them stay in Airbnb near by them meet them some where.
It saves alot of money.
I am also interested in a tiny home. I don’t need a big house because everyone else is building big houses.
This is a very inspirational video guys. Love this. Seeing a eco friendly home in Jamaica is encouraging - this is where we need to go in our developments.
Love this! These homes look similar to the traditional homes that my tribe make. They are called hogans from the Diné tribe of the Navajo Nation, US. 🙏❤️🙌
The first thought that came to mind was about the igloos that the Inuits used.
I love this for Jamaica 🇯🇲 The housing market is going places. Different types of development.Future looking bright 🌞 ✨️
He is brilliant
And the homeowner is quite the stylish lady bringing beauty from all over the world
The designer / builder really knows his craft. and Julia has a rich artful taste in designing the inside of the property. I would have enjoyed hearing her voice more in the video. 🙏
My wife and I would definitely live in something like this no doubt. Up in the cool hills of St Ann with ocean view and we’re off grid. Definitely can’t go wrong with being amongst nature and a off grid lifestyle.
That dome house is amazing, no hurricane can knock that off, great design strong wind resistant 👆🏾🇯🇲 and collects rain water too.. Wow factor 😁
Much appreciated
It's nice but what if no rain fall for months
You can still get a water connection if you wish. You can also get trucked water

Love this ❤Id like to know the price range, and builders info
It would have been nice to hear more from Dwight the builder. Luckily you posted their website, so I was able to answer some questions. Impressive project and serious about sustainability. I think your audience should know their buildings are NHT approved. Thank you for introducing them!
Are you able to give me the website of Dwight the builder
It’s linked in the description
Let Dwight talk
@@TheDelprattFamily yes thank you I found it. I have to say I like how detailed you and your husband are getting the information out there. However I do wish that Dwight would have gotten a chance to elaborate more on what he does. But just watching him I don't think he's a man that likes to be in the spotlight. It was a wonderful tour to see. Jamaica to me is one of the most greenest countries in the world. Why shouldn't they run Green? As well...😊
Omg!!! So happy to see someone offering Monolithic Domes in Jamaica!
I'm in love with this house, the environment, the design, the creativity wow! . Peace and serenity 🙏🏾
Dwight is a genius! Kudos to him.
These houses are very good to withstand hurricane. May God bless her in her beautiful home
Adrian's love and appreciation for everything that went into this home is absolutely heartwarming and contagious. You can tell he really valued it all and was so enthusiastic when talking to Ms. Julia.
All I know is... Julia floor a bline mi yeye dem. Mi love it. Makes me want to ditch tiles and wood floors when I get to that stage in my life. The house, though not exactly like anything Jamaica is used to traditionally, it does have traditional elements here and there, especially by Julia's choices. I find her house actually somewhat nostalgic. All in all, this is a genius idea, especially for St. Thomas. Smart contractor.
I love this stylish and beautifully eco friendly house. This is very good for Jamaica. Simplicity is at its best with sustainable living and cost effective.
Perched on a hilll, surrounded by Nature, overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Perfect! Different! beautiful! Amazing scenery. I 💖 it..... I read somewhere that Dome Houses can better wthstand Hurricanes. Hurricane winds blow over them, not into them 😊 I'd like to live in one, one day soon. Thanks for sharing.
Jamaica has very skilled and bright people. Nothing seems impossible for Jamaicans!!!...
Love this dome house. I have seen programs on a basic dome house in America ( catering to low income) but nothing this beautiful. Love the art work and use of wood against the white walls. The couple is living their best life. Lastly, I like the underground water tank. Years ago, my sister saw this when she visited her in- laws in Bermuda. Mr and Mrs. Delprat, your channel is on another level. Thanks for the content. I hope that you will follow up on the young couple, you visited about a year ago, who were building, as they occupy, their home in Mo Bay, I think.😢
P
This is actually a very strategic location for a water sustainable house like this, how fitting to build this in one of the most rainfall heavy parishes in Jamaica
I didn’t realise that, we will be living in Westmoreland within the area of Cornwall mountains. We get real heavy rainfall there so it’s interesting to find out this piece of fact. Thank you
@@JaquelineBaker12 You're welcome. The eastern parishes tend to have most of the rainfall in Jamaica (Portland, St. Thomas, St. Mary) but rainfall is heavy up in the mountains too
I recently moved to the hills of Westmoreland, and it gets loads of rainfall, I can't imagine how the Eastern Parishes are - didn't know they get lots of rain too 🙂
@@Samm876 How was your experience moving to Westmoreland...I was born and raised there...and would love to own a property there...but I no longer have any family there and it's a bit overwhelming trying to execute on my desires right now...
What a beautiful home Julia has! Great architect, design and decor!
Great content. Need a real companion of the cost of construction vs regular block and steel
They have a website in the description. The homes are NHT approved and I don't know the exact cost, but it's safe to say about half of a conventional built home.
Dwight , you did a beautiful job.. you are are awesome. Julia the home is beautiful. I wish you pure joy and enjoyment.
This would definitely be ideal for the eco-tourism Airbnb market.
Love this. I’m all about the environment and self sustainability. Also love the shape of the buildings.
Sustainable homes and living is definitely the way to go.
I absolutely love this idea and the whole look of the place. I really enjoy the way Dwight would speak about the design aspect of everything- its so smartly built from beginning to end. AMAZING!!
Awesome, thank you!
@@TheDelprattFamily Guys I absolutely love your content but constructively, I really wished you had allowed them to speak a bit more about the home themselves, the construction etc. But I love these videos and I hope you keep it up, you could turn this into a new segment- 'Unique houses in Jamaica', lol
@@TheDelprattFamily What about TINY HOUSES?
Like the bookcase. It’s called a pantry in the US. When I am building my home, I want a library inside. Also an entry way, it won’t be the typical Jamaican design, NO WAY!
This is a BEAUTIFULLY designed home. I love the design and features of the domes itself and the decor that Julia chose. Those wooden designs are priceless and loved the carved doors, especially liked the idea of the louvers on the door to promote airflow. She did an excellent job on the garden as well 👏 😍. I especially liked the way the domes catch rainwater and that storage is underground - makes sense to have the 'guttering' at the base of the dome (instead of the roof as traditional houses do) as it allows ease of access to keep it clear of debris. My favourite feature is the tube lights 🤩 how amazing it must be at nighttime, when there's a full moon. Very well thought through designs.
Very creative.
One day I will build a dome house in a rural area, live off natural farmland food and get off the grid. Escaping from the hustle and bustle is my goal in life, before Armageddon arrives.
Awesome housing development. Jamaica needs more beautiful homes like this. Very impressive indeed.
We agree!
@@TheDelprattFamily Honestly I like it but not the water underneath the house. Lovely home, it’s so different from the same old, same old one style houses in Jamaica 🇯🇲.
@@TheDelprattFamily they need a rail on the stairs.
@@TheDelprattFamily She has to be careful for thieves will now come and break in her house.
@@gennisparry4352 negative energy...hopefully it will never come to that!
This is such a beautiful home! It’s design captures nature which gives such peace and calmness! The designer did such a wonderful job and the homeowner touch of decorating is on point.
This is nice, with solar power + water harvesting + starlink internet it means you can get a cheap remote piece of land anywhere in Jamrock and live like you're in a developed part of the country- NICE.
Wow she’s living the dream. Thank you for sharing this with us. Amazing.
What a tranquil, beautiful home and homeowner. Thank you Julia for this virtual tour of your amazing home. 🤗💕
I'm sold. Breathtaking
What a BEAUTY, what a difference, what an INSPIRATION. Thank you guys.
Wow...absolutely beautiful...a gorgeous place to retire to...beautiful land of Jamaica
Absolutely perfect and beautiful. Looking forward to having my own with all these wonderful features.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful I'm here in America amazed at the beauty of this awesome home I've seen other dome homes but these builders are truly top of the line builders along with the beautiful landscape of Jamaica they're the best
Not the traditional Jamaican home.Beautiful design and the great thing you are self sufficient not relying on Jps or Water.
I like that concept for home , back in 1978/79, the Cubans build Bridgeport Schools high and primary and they also build two domes.
Yooo that dome shape is the design of indigenous people. I love that we’re going back to our roots! This is EPIC for Jamaica!!
Wow finally something that is lovely and different. The good thing is that it look way strong for hurricane season. Lovely view you really don't need a TV at all. At night they can go on the roof and watch the stars. I haven't seen the star in years here in Canada. Beautiful.
It's the most grandiose everything I have ever seen!!!! OMFG. I'm aiming for THIS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Also love the pergola porch. It looks very cooling.
So beautiful, loving this gorgeous design, lovely eco house, absolutely brilliant, would love a house like this in jamaica 🇯🇲 👍
How much does a dome cost to build
Same question I wanna ask
amazing design.. those doors are inspiring... they created paradise in paradise...
I always had this idea. Happy to see someone did it and it's thriving!
how cheap is it? i would have liked to hear roughly the cost to see if its worthwhile. Don't want to waste my time calling if i can't afford it.
Nice information. St. Thomas is on the EASTERN coast.
South East
@@TheDelprattFamily south EASTERN end , meaning it's not on the SOUTH COAST of Jamaica, but rather in the EAST, but southern part of east, while Portland is in the Northern part of the east. SOUTH coast is St. Elizabeth, Manchester and Clarendon. This is not a debate or to call you out. I posted so that if people who are not from Jamaica saw your clip saying "you're in St. Thomas on the South coast." You can block and delete, but in the end it's all EGO and you know it.
Love it! Self sustainable and roomy👍🏽
We love this sustainable home with solar and water harvesting, and also we love the dome shape it is good to think out the normal everyday design that every house looks like. also, you can have a house shape like a triangle, Prism etc change up the design a bit it Art keeps renewable energy and resources in mind.
I am in love with this. My kinda life.
That designer and builder, Dwifht, is a very brilliant man.
You have nailed it again guys, I absolutely love this ,especially the floors… very rustic😊
Thanks so much! 😊
I live in a dome home in the USA and I love it. Plan to build one in Mexico as well - now Y’all got me thinking of coming to Jamaica. Our dome was completed in 1992!
We are taking by surprise....Solar and water tanks are common. Place....WE ARE INSPIRED. Have a wonderful fay....(I will like and share your video)
wow nice this is beautiful i love how windy and cool up there is. i love the tranquility. Nice and unique to Jamaica. I would live up there. good job Delpratt family
Praise the lord! I feel so hopeful now! Dream house here I come
Just amazing off grid, your talking my language now. Inspirational Julia. Phenomenal views too. Awesome. I would like to find out more 💖🥰👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Very interesting video. It was a joy to watch. I only wish we heard more from the host about her inspiration for each space we saw. Thanks again for sharing.
I truly admire this home and how it is built. I would like to be rid of JPS and get water harvest too
This is my dream! To go back home and build a natural dwelling ❤🇯🇲
Thank you for showing your beautiful home and family! Blessings!
This will be my dream home style❤
Thank you for showcasing Dwight. I will be contacting him
How do you contact him?
Love it! Love it! Love it! Delpratt family! Awesome design Mr.Dwight and Julia's Decorations are so naturally beautiful!!!! What a gem in nature
I love the location, very breezy... I think this can work for me.. I can't wait to see the interior
Beautiful and well thought out home!Enjoy your retirement home Julia!
Oh wow! I absolutely love this design... This should be the way forward for future developments... Awesome!
Over here in st Lucia, must say I like this....would make sense to have filters that that easy to access.... as things can fall through...nonetheless I like it. I'd love to see the how to build video so please follow up.
Brilliant! I wish he could build our next home in the U.S. I LOVE the self-reliance, beauty, and the three dome concept with the enclosed courtyard.
Beautiful! You are Blessed!
Julia's dome homes are SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL
Peace love blessings AUTONOMY and protection
Great video. Congratulations and thanks. Pity we couldn’t hear Dwight clearly as he explained his technique, though.
I absolutely enjoyed your company and how well you shared the conversation with the owner.
One of my best
Beautiful, love it love it. I need to copy
I Love You All For What You’re Doing!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
This home is beautiful in and out. It is holistic.
The light tubes blew me away. What a wonderful idea
Wow I love this concept‼️ Lovely outdoor space as well. I have to share this with my peeps who are looking into building back home 🇯🇲
Waw I love... NO NWC NO JPS for the love of my God I love, I would build a house like that put my own little touch
Good job guys. The house is amazing. Love it
It’s so beautiful and peaceful
Wow l am taking this idea to Zimbabwe. Thank you. How much does it cost approximately.
Very innovative, love this home. I would love to hear from the builder because the presentation is all over the place. Next time, give the builder a chance to talk about the bldg, and the realtor shows us the actual inside space.
This was not the builders episode
This design is good for hurricane.the roundness let the wind have nowhere to attach to .it just blows around
So true!
Wow; this is really amazing. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Our pleasure!
Looks wonderful, I am tempted to forget moving to Adrica & move to St T.. that's where both my late parents came from..I am sure like most other viewers we were waiting to hear pricing but none was mentioned not even the cost of 1 not even the shell of 1 dome yet you kept emphasising affordable..People yes viewers would have liked to know including myself, otherwise job well done..
I've seen one of these in Jamaica over 10 years ago. These look os cool.
LOVE THIS HOUSE!!!!! I love the decor, stunning views and beautiful garden!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Oh my world 🌎 , this Doom house is so big and beautiful. I liked it. It's very spacious , friendly and entertaining. Lovely 🌹❤
Just so unique ..cute and different absolutely lovely..and away from the rough and tough nice little nugget in st.thomas and the view is awesome and cool and fresh...this gives me hope..
Another Gem Delpratt Family. I’m planning a sustainable house build in st Ann with unground water tank and solar. It’ll be interesting if Dwight can consult to my builder on some of the concepts although my proposed home will have a modern look. Keep up the fantastic work guys. 👊🏾🙌🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲
They are the creators/ designers. Would have been even more helpful if you'd allow them to present the homes instead, that way we could learn more about their project. Good content nonetheless.
I love that the DelPratt family shed so much beautiful light on these beautiful homes.. how can I get in touch with Dwight the builder?
Love this, very inspiring and different from the norm. Great job to the builder and kudos to Julia. Delphratts this one is good!
Gorgeous, love it, I've always dreamed of just such a design. Looked at the Flintstones house with a modern swing to it, but the dome adds a major futuristic jump with solar too? Wonderful. Great!!
Funny how I just see a feature of Dwight on Our Taste with Rohan Marley😊
Very interesting vlog it would be great to hear about the cost to build, you titled built cheaply.
You guys are a breath of fresh air, love the content you have been putting out.💖💖👋👋💯💯😍😍
Thank you!
