Your channel has the coolest houses. Regular trailer based tiny houses are fun but there's only so much you can do within the boundaries provided by the trailer. You always feature unique and interesting homes
The only reason I’m considering a dome house is so I can live in the Gulf. Where there are Hurricanes. Dome homes survive the winds and if they can be placed the right way, they can survive the surges as well.
Wow the new people have done a great job of renovating this place. It had gotten pretty run down. Sedona is so highly sought after I was afraid someone would buy it for the land and tear down the "crazy colored Easter eggs" so relieved to see this beautiful rehab. Huge congrats to the new owners for their vision.
I absolutely love this home! It’s a beautiful design and a wonderful concept to share it with others. The only draw back for me is the white walls in every room. I need color but that is just my personal preference. Even with the white walls it is a spectacular home! Cheers
Concrete can be painted inside and out. I've loved these homes ever since my visit to Italy, Texas I've always wanted one. I'm single, not sure if I could build one myself. But my income might not support it. Praying one day I'll have one, small for me & 2 cats.
I remember seeing this home on HGTV years ago, they were showcasing unique homes. Except back then, each dome was painted a different bright color and it was owned by a family with kids.
Have you always lived in Arizona? (We experienced a heat wave recently that was likened to desert temperatures here in British Columbia. One town, Lytton, reached a high of 49.6C (121.3F), Canada’s highest ever recorded temperature.)
@@sharong8511 That is just awful! I have lived in south Louisiana for most of my life and the Fl Keys for 7yrs and the hottest temp I can remember in my 65 plus years was 101°F with a heat index of 110°. And that only happened twice. Our highs normally are around 98°F or 99°F in July and August. I just can't imagine 121°. Our humidity wreaks havoc on our heat index. At 100° I am incapacitated and in front of the AC!! Those who don't believe in global warming need to open their eyes!!
@@sharong8511 Not all our lives. We moved here about 30 years ago. We've had Temps that high a few times. The only thing we don't have is the humidity. Not having the humidity helps when you sweat from the higher temps by evaporating pretty quickly.
@@jcrefasi1 It reached 95F inside our house at the worst moment, right before we fled, mother, daughter and 20 year old cat, to a motel with a/c for three days. I had filled a plastic container with cool water for my mom’s feet which were red and swollen, constantly emptying and filling ice cube trays, bringing fresh water to the cat who was sprawled out on the floor barely moving. It was really frightening and overwhelming. I am 60 and Mom’s in her eighties. We are blessed with having the funds to flee the house. Many people died over the worst three days and nights of unheard of heat, something around 700 souls. The day after we left I broke down and sobbed to a perfect stranger. The little town of Lytton is no more. 90% of it burned down because of the extreme heat. They had ten minutes to gather necessities and get out of the area.
@@azplanner4546 Arizona is truly a beautiful place. You are blessed to live there. Thank you. I always forget about the humidity factor. We’re not waterfront but close enough to the ocean that we have Arbutus trees nearby. I think the Latin name is Madrone? Aka strawberry trees. Most of them are dying from ? It’s a shame, they are lovely and unusual trees with reddish brown bark that peels naturally.
My father was the actual contractor for the dome home and the Xanadu homes in Wisconsin and Orlando. Sadly he passed away in the 80s due to exposure of the chemicals in these homes. I got actually photos of me as a five your old on the sites when they blew up the bubbles and sprayed them with foam.
I was thinking the same thing, wondering what compound chemicals were used? however, they did not even discuss this at all. I am very sorry for your loss. I can feel your sadness. It is so sad that we have to question almost everything in order to make informed decisions. So much great ideas with very little knowledge of long term affects. Perhpas, we have to ask more questions when given the opportunity, too. Also, it is a good reminder that earth homes are clean and have less impact on our environments. See how many structures constructed for over thousands of years and out lasting most modern society today. And all have been a treasure to most yet not appreciated in lost ways we can learn, not take and leave behind nothing but lost information and hidden stories. Many cultures have been destroyed because of selfishness and occupation over others. I really am sad we live in a so-called modern world, and all of us have truly not experienced life grounded in our environments. We have never evolved and only went backwords and hulted thriving environments to flourish. Along the way, we also suffered those consequences and not only poisoned our minds but the lost way of a simple way of living. It also contributed to many sickness and birth problems forcing us to think we are only to blame, but those who profit off of ppl made it legally possible to do it without regard for profits wealth and lives taken. We have all suffered so much and truly have missed out on our full potential as humans.
Wow, so sorry about your father. I have been wondering about any off gasses from the materials but the construction aspect sounds reasonable to expect the exposure. I think I'll go back to Cob and get the most of the same esthetics I'm looking for.
@@LoveAllJoy Well who knows how the chemicals have changed. I know I don’t see thousands or millions of these homes around today. That being said they do spray foam attics. My father’s actual business was spray foaming roofs way back in the 70s and 80s. I suspect he was contracted for these homes as very few people were actually doing it in those days.
I just love offgrid homes. Specially dome and geodesic homes, they are really cool and beautiful! I didn't know about that contstruction technique using baloons. Very interesting and practical! The home featured in the video is very cool. I dream of living in a dome home someday, but for now the circumstances of my life don't allow me to do so. I would construct a more futuristic dome house, and probably consisting of more than one dome. Perhaps four. I don't know. And I would seek for a more futuristic look, but not exatcly synthetic. I mean with a rustic aspect but somewhat resembling a sci-fi contruction, all with round and curved shapes in the interior, but all naturally lit in the day. The cabinets would be as much as possible integrated with the house, made of the same material which the house itself would be made of. I would aim for a sustainable, eco-friendly house.
I do like these shapes. I loved making miniature things like this when I was a kid just playing❣️❤️ So, of course the idea of living in a giant version appeals to me.
i remember many fun parties in that domes family home... creative joy for sure! the fountain was beautiful and complimented the energy and feel of the place... as did the mushroom pedastle bed... the largest dome was a recording studio... they used to be different colors on the outside too. Nice to know of the new life of this unique place. It was calming to be in that space. I imagine guests really enjoy their stay their! Sedona is still a special place... even if overrun by tourism and retirees now!
Is there somewhere, where the designer talks about the construction method more in depth? For instance, is it aircrete on the rebar? What's the outer shell made of? How does waterproofing work?
cost per sq. ft. (2013) $ 130. So a 1,000 sq. ft. AirCrete Dome be ... $ 130K. Wow the house there in Sedona, be over $780 k in 2013. Can't imagine anyone not a billionaire afford to build a home 1/2 that size.
I stayed there with my son and daughter-in-law a couple yrs ago. We enjoyed it! I recommend it if you get the chance. It's comfortable and unusual. Perfect for Sedona!
How about, instead of a dome, you built an oval? Same materials, but orienting the broad sides to the morning and evening sun. Thin side toward the noon day sun would limit heat absorption during the hottest part of the day. Emulate a termite mound. They know what's up.
You can have just about any shape of elipsoid that you want. www.monolithic.org/ But for the reason you describe it isn’t needed. These domes are pulling the earths temperature from the lowest point of the concrete footer throughout the uninterrupted concrete of the whole dome. It’s like turbocharging the E-rating of the closed-cell foam layer that is on the outer side of the concrete. monolithicdome.com/
I like it, this kind of home should be located in tornado alley, a place where farmers loose everything. This type of house 🏡 could be a barn, house, grain storage, whatever a person need it for.
I started researching dome homes recently because of many of the structural and insulative properties as well as the reduced building cost versus traditional square wood framed homes. I also learned a few years ago that, as both the builder and the owner stated, these rounded homes makes one feel better and at peace. Its 100% true that rounded (yurt), domed (cave), coned (teepee) or pyramidal shaped structures positively effect your spirituality and can help increase one's level of consciousness with the proper knowledge.
I've been looking for contractors who actually build dome homes, but they are difficult to find. Most of the ones I've found simply show photo albums or DIY information, but little else. Still interesting seeing all the possibilities out there.
There people who can build them for you but the real problems come from insurance companies, loan companies, building codes and home owners associations. If you really want to build a dome home, you have to do it outside of that whole system. Otherwise, be prepared for alot of red tape and extra expense.
Tried so hard to convince my ex husband to do this, or at least explore and/or look inside. He just was immovable, and of course it was a lost cause. They are so strong, interesting, and really ideal for almost every climate. Anyway, thank you for sharing today. Wonderful, .. and so appreciated.
I love monolithic sprayed domes! Some part of me wonders if they can be DIY constructed using aircrete which is lighter but sometimes easier to work with. Regardless they are so cool!
Homes like this, fast to construct, low cost to build and economical to maintain, should be being built en masse to combat the crazy housing/ homeless situation that is epidemic throughout the western world at the moment. We've been 'homeless' for nearly 2 years now. I would absolutely be willing to be involved in building our own home along these lines. If I had the resources, and gvmts burnt the red tapes, I would be building these. For anyone who needed a home.
I love these unique looking and very organic homes. Problem is that I don't like it when people come into my home, past the living room. Home is a sacred sanctuary to me, so I wouldn't share it with people. With the exception of family and very close friends. At least if the domes had entrances that don't intrude into the main house, that'd be awesome.
Where can I find more information on the construction design and methods? The builder’s claim of R-85 insulation seems preposterous but I’m open to evidence and would like to know how that was achieved.
After having a yurt studio for almost two decades I believe human beings think better and feel better in a round space. I agree with the gentleman one hundred percent. Our energetics as human beings certainly does not move in squares so my theory is that is why this is so.
The interior design unfortunately is so loud and active, I can barely focus on the original building structure. A calm, minimal and natural interior would do it so much more justice.
For a change, I have actually seen this house in person, from this very angle (opening shot)! It makes it seem more intimate and real. I've never been inside. This view is coming down the last stretch of Schnebly Hill Road.
"This place looks like a magical oasis of tranquility! 🌟 A dome home not only captivates with its appearance but also provides a sense of security and comfort. I'm enchanted by the harmony and positive vibes emanating from every corner of this beautiful place! 💖✨ #DomeLiving #SafetyFirst #PositiveVibes"
LOVE your videos--- I've always liked seeing unusual and unique homes--- by the way- you have an absolutely GORGEOUS smile.. (just an honest well deserved compliment- nothing more)... :) THANK YOU for your wonderful videos..
Some people are so lucky. All I can do is dream of living in one of these Domes. I was never lucky to own a home in my life .But everyone around me has there own place. I live in a one bedroom Apt I hate it so much. But you guys are Lucky good luck with these gorgoues Domes.
@September I went to your channel to see if you were interesting. I watched your cop video. It disgusted me. "Driving while black", "dirty cops"? You didn't know why the vehicle was pulled over, but were prepared to make assumptions and accusations. There could have been a warrant out for a dangerous person. Maybe they were looking for someone, and the person in the vehicle or the vehicle matched a description. This was around the time of CHOP in Seattle, so cops were likely being more cautious. There are a number of reasons for having four police cars there. I've seen three for traffic stops quite often in the last couple of years. Why not? It likely intimidates any would be cop killer. You and the other onlookers kept feeding each other more conspiracies. You did nothing but reinforce each other's preconceived beliefs. It greatly saddens me that you seem to have an interest in education. Teachers should be full of love, not negativity. Over 200 cops have left the police force since you made that video. Seattle just saw a 26 year high in homicides. Your sentiment is a grain that added to a heap. Which lead to less police, and higher crime rates. I doubt that you will accept that you played a role in the suffering of those citizens. I hope that one day you see what hate is doing to you, and let go of it. Table 43a Table 6 expanded homicide data
What a beautiful space. An amazing home. Can you get a full in depth tour please as that would be so interesting to see it in its full beauty. I would live there without hesitation and without a doubt I would stay there ie rent the air b&b part of it if Lisa UK xxxx
Interesting, there is a Family Building Foam domes down here in Cochise County, but in a different sort of way very affordably. Lucky we have the Owner Builder Opt Out permit down here that give folks the opportunity to build alternative such of structures with out the Hassle of normal permits.
Ken Johnson (the guy who had these built) wasn't telling the truth (@ 2:30). The cost to build a Monolithic dome is NOT "less than half" of conventional, it is about the same as a premium build. If you factor in the lifetime cost of maintenance and operation (they are very durable and energy efficient) they become cost effective, but obviously if you move away those savings are not realized.
Great design. I think ill consider building in this way with one exception id use hempcrete instead of concrete and i dont think id use the balloon system but because the hempcrete is so much lighter rebar and bamboo perhaps
It is an outstanding home design, but if i have to build one, i will make it in the shape of a five-petal flower and surrounded by a circle swimming pool. The benefit is to be a protection against fire, and the inner circle of the dome shape will be all glass looking into a beautiful botanic garden.
I would love to see the dome Stonehenge when it's done I think it's great that you are opening your house to the public for all to experience I hope no one takes advantage of you or is disrespectful but unfortunately the world is full of jerks
Wouldn’t it be great to create a community of about 20 larger domes with second floors on one property and rent or sell the homes for affordable prices. Do several properties like that maybe some owned some rented Idk like we did before we decided it was a good idea 😒 to work all our lives !! for a home that might not even be what we wanted or needed. Crazy idea. Just plan craziness 🤪😏🤷♀️🤣
The building was interesting. It was disappointing to not see an actual tour of the house and more detail about how it was built. The video could have been much more informative for individuals who are interested in this kind of architecture. It would have been nice to see what the actual living spaces of the washrooms and bedrooms are like, rather than just seeing the one big dome and random art projects the owner wants to do...

I'm seeing this two years later and I find this house to be absolutely stunning. It's so beautiful and peaceful! I'm ready to create one myself! ❤
The only reason I’m considering a dome house is so I can live in the Gulf. Where there are Hurricanes. Dome homes survive the winds and if they can be placed the right way, they can survive the surges as well.
Same reason we are looking into it.
Same for me
It is an understanding on the want to build one but you can’t get a traditional building loan to help make it happen.
I built one 37 years ago and still live in it. It's awsome. We had a sort with over 100 mph winds and it was like a breeze
Same here bro
The owner of this structure is fortunate to live in this magnificent home. It's a work of art. By the maker and the owners.
Very cool space! It was both interesting and disappointing - I was hoping for a tour of the whole place. ♥

Could you tell how much would a single dome cost? Concrete ? Where do I have to call to get help for building one of these?

This reminds of the Flintstone mansion 😃
My wife likes the idea of a different dome for each room. I prefer fewer large domes
I think this idea comes from the italian architect Dante Bini - the balloon technique is called Binishell
The type of house that I would like to live in! Awesome 👍
Sedona is so authentic.
I think this is my favorite built so far.
"This place looks like a magical oasis of tranquility! 🌟 A dome home not only captivates with its appearance but also provides a sense of security and comfort. I'm enchanted by the harmony and positive vibes emanating from every corner of this beautiful place! 💖✨ #DomeLiving #SafetyFirst #PositiveVibes"
I would love to see round edge floor rugs in those lovely spaces.
"For a spider, maybe." YES DOWN WITH CORNERS
LOVE your videos--- I've always liked seeing unusual and unique homes--- by the way- you have an absolutely GORGEOUS smile.. (just an honest well deserved compliment- nothing more)... :) THANK YOU for your wonderful videos..
loved this particular home....for many reasons. Thank you.
I would love a home like that. thank you for sharing.
I wished it was allowed in Germany , to build like this or in other shapes and use alternative materials,......beautiful content :)
Some people are so lucky. All I can do is dream of living in one of these Domes. I was never lucky to own a home in my life .But everyone around me has there own place. I live in a one bedroom Apt I hate it so much. But you guys are Lucky good luck with these gorgoues Domes.
Reminds me of the elephant huts of Ethiopia, and Musgum mud huts of Camaroon.
I was just coming here to say this.
@September I went to your channel to see if you were interesting. I watched your cop video. It disgusted me. "Driving while black", "dirty cops"? You didn't know why the vehicle was pulled over, but were prepared to make assumptions and accusations. There could have been a warrant out for a dangerous person. Maybe they were looking for someone, and the person in the vehicle or the vehicle matched a description. This was around the time of CHOP in Seattle, so cops were likely being more cautious. There are a number of reasons for having four police cars there. I've seen three for traffic stops quite often in the last couple of years. Why not? It likely intimidates any would be cop killer. You and the other onlookers kept feeding each other more conspiracies. You did nothing but reinforce each other's preconceived beliefs. It greatly saddens me that you seem to have an interest in education. Teachers should be full of love, not negativity. Over 200 cops have left the police force since you made that video. Seattle just saw a 26 year high in homicides. Your sentiment is a grain that added to a heap. Which lead to less police, and higher crime rates. I doubt that you will accept that you played a role in the suffering of those citizens. I hope that one day you see what hate is doing to you, and let go of it.

omg it looks nice..is this the beginning of tatooine?
What a beautiful space. An amazing home. Can you get a full in depth tour please as that would be so interesting to see it in its full beauty.
I would live there without hesitation and without a doubt I would stay there ie rent the air b&b part of it if

fell in love that futuristic design and economy 😍❤
Oh wow, that is NICE!!!
I like it very artistic and out of the norm, feels like on another planet.
Seeing how big your dome house, I remember too many homeless out there nowhere to sleep or take a bath
Interesting, there is a Family Building Foam domes down here in Cochise County, but in a different sort of way very affordably. Lucky we have the Owner Builder Opt Out permit down here that give folks the opportunity to build alternative such of structures with out the Hassle of normal permits.
Home suitable for Tornado Alleys!
It's unusually well decorated. I wonder who did the interior decor? It looks professional.
Awesome home & lovely couple!
Ken Johnson (the guy who had these built) wasn't telling the truth (@ 2:30). The cost to build a Monolithic dome is NOT "less than half" of conventional, it is about the same as a premium build.
If you factor in the lifetime cost of maintenance and operation (they are very durable and energy efficient) they become cost effective, but obviously if you move away those savings are not realized.
Exactly! Monolithic Domes cost about the same as conventional homes. We are building a Monolithic Tri-Domes right now in NC.
Great design. I think ill consider building in this way with one exception id use hempcrete instead of concrete and i dont think id use the balloon system but because the hempcrete is so much lighter rebar and bamboo perhaps
It is an outstanding home design, but if i have to build one, i will make it in the shape of a five-petal flower and surrounded by a circle swimming pool. The benefit is to be a protection against fire, and the inner circle of the dome shape will be all glass looking into a beautiful botanic garden.
Very interesting 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing this Video 👍🏼👍🏼
Absolutely gorgeous!! I just wish that we could have seen it very space. Much love from Oklahoma.
We should use this technology in Jamaica 🇯🇲 it would work out better for being more resilient against hurricanes
This is excellent
I would love to see the dome Stonehenge when it's done I think it's great that you are opening your house to the public for all to experience I hope no one takes advantage of you or is disrespectful but unfortunately the world is full of jerks
New subscriber here... Love your channel. Tiny homes in all shapes and sizes
Wouldn’t it be great to create a community of about 20 larger domes with second floors on one property and rent or sell the homes for affordable prices. Do several properties like that maybe some owned some rented
Idk like we did before we decided it was a good idea 😒 to work all our lives !! for a home that might not even be what we wanted or needed.
Crazy idea.
Just plan craziness 🤪😏🤷♀️🤣
Amazing ❤
Wonderful concept for an accessible home. Easy wheelchair access. Could install glass elevator. Concept still used in Trulia.
Love this!
I love your intro - new? And great video!
Very cool. I want one too!
What building technique did you use? Did you mix techniques?
This is really interesting!
The building was interesting. It was disappointing to not see an actual tour of the house and more detail about how it was built. The video could have been much more informative for individuals who are interested in this kind of architecture. It would have been nice to see what the actual living spaces of the washrooms and bedrooms are like, rather than just seeing the one big dome and random art projects the owner wants to do...
Excellent Geodesic alternative textiles for interior quarry dome design .
Awesome !!
