Modern dome home by Solaleya dome design

The modern dome home, originally designed by Patrick Marsilli in 1988, the dome home Solaleya modern innovation in sustainable development, modern accommodation. Dome futuristic design offers a double benefit. While borrowing from the house of her fresh, distinctive profile, carefully consider how well weighs heavily on the origin of the function factor. General characteristics of skylights roof that allows the bright, of course, the sun shines from the inside. Based out of the house, mechanical design allows it to rotate 360 degrees, so Sunday maximize absorption through the roof of solar panels. Ninety percent of homes FSC-certified wood as well as the structure is an isolated environment-friendly jams. Interior mostly made of wood, with slanted walls and an open concept with modern design centers around the floor to ceiling fireplace. This permanent domes were tested at Category 5 hurricanes and earthquakes up to magnitude 8 on a scale.

MY THOUGHTS: I really like the environmentally friendly aspect of the design. The use of a glass roof creating light and the 360 degrees to ensure light all day long. Takes away a high use of electricity.
