    Hello, everyone! I apologize in advance for being a worse UA-camr than a builder. Here's my attempt to showcase this build that we absolutely flew through in record time with no shop, no special tools, and all while travelling.
    20' diameter, 300 sq ft, 12' tall
    7k USD in material costs (including alot of Hawai'i-specific costs)
    Could be done for much cheaper!
    Is it strong? Holy crap yes.
    Please let me know if you have any questions!
    Thanks for the love and support as always.
    Johnny and Milla

    As a union construction worker since the 1970's, I've usually been amused by how incompetent most "home builders" tend to be, but plainly you are in the opposite camp. Everything you've shown here is a fine example of how a professional builder would do things right. I'm impressed.

    Are dome's the most energy efficient structures for supper hot summers ? And would you say a small dome can handle not using a ac on 90 degree Fahrenheit days ? I'm wanting to build a small studio for my standing desk. What clear material do you suggest as I want a great view.

    • @trilliumdomes
      @trilliumdomes  Рік тому

      Domes are extremely efficient because they generally have 30% less surface area per unit of volume. You would need a lot of insulation to not need AC on a 90 degree day but you can do that.
