Freakin sweet!
I tihnk this home may have been featured on TV before. I think they build these types of domes by pouring concrete over a huge inflatable bladder.

In the San Juans? I notice they didn't say what the average snowfall is on that driveway. Or where you're supposed to put all the snow, can't really toss it off to the side.
Sorry, I live in CO, I'm getting old, and I've shoveled a lot of damn snow. I tend to think about these things. But that IS a very cool place. I'm more of a big ol' log house with a big covered porch kinda guy.

The old dude is right.
I have famiy in the San Juans. COLD friggin place in the winter...along with everything else that goes with winter in Colorado.
as a former homebuilder I doubt it would ever quality for a loan.
Some designs, and this is also true of many log cabins, are for the creator
and not for the resale market.
This is a neat idea but as collateral in the financial world it would be a hard go.
LOL first thing I thought too! I used to do lending and mortgages, and I can tell you, I would like to see quite a bit of vested equity here, like 50% down!

Nice digs there. You could turn the music all the way up in there. Yes, fortify the perimeter, filter the air, and you could easily ride it out. You give me a hill and a backhoe, I'll make one. Just what I want. Staying under the frost line helps out in winter. Oh, to the days of Jeremiah Johnson minus the Indians.

Those concrete bubble homes are a LOT more solid than wood-frame housing. Granted it's a fairly new technology, but over the last two decades they've been IMPRESSIVE against Tornados & Hurricanes...whereas I'm still wondering how Wood-Frame homes get insurance, as weak & flammable as they are.
