Colfibrex - Earth-Sheltered Housing System

Another interesting find worthy of posting up. This kind of dome shelter isn't a geodesic, or monolithic, but is nevertheless similar to domes. Would love to live in one of these one day.

Some stills of the designs:

Monolithic Domes

This is slightly different from the classic geodesic construction, but still a dome nonetheless. Just like geodesic domes, monolithic domes still retains its energy efficiency and its spherical aesthetic, if not more. I like the fact that there's less wastage of components (which geodesic domes have to face due to the manufacturing of irregular shapes. Also, monolithic domes are very durable, and customised, plus a host of other desirable attributes.

I actually found this video ages ago, and I realize it's been two years since I last posted on this blog!
