Tiny Dome in Terlingua, Texas
Terlingua, Texas is a remote part of southwest Texas near the Mexican border. Pictured here is a tiny dome structure currently under construction. The blog that is recording the construction story is also filled with interesting ways of adapting to such an extreme desert region and living very close to the edge.
Foam Dome Homes
These polystyrene dome homes seem to be popping up like mushrooms. They are build by the Japanese company International Dome House and can hold up to intense storms and earthquakes. They are also inexpensive and easy to build.
Earthbag Dome Building Video
There’s a nice slide show style video on the Earthbag Building Blog that illustrates the steps needed to build an earthbag dome home. If building homes with earthbags is new to you watching this short video will provide a quick overview.
When you’re done looking at that video there’s another earthbag dome home video on YouTube from the folks at Cal-Earth that also shows the earthbag building process.
