How does it fair again strong winds in a storm and occasional hail? Is the isolation good enough to provide comfort in environment ranging from 35°C to -15°C ?

What is your solution for a bathroom? Where do you shower?
- aclevername 13y agoThis. I'm curious as to how the bathroom is laid out, where you go for any and all of those purposes. This "house" is missing a lot of viable (standard) infrastructure to be considered what we usually call a house in North America. It's closer to that of a very small travel trailer, or a tent. All in all I still love the idea.
- grannyg00se 13y agoI suppose standard infrastructure is out of scope. "If you are considering a canvas dome, teepee, or yurt you should consider building a frameless dome" For bathroom activities, I would suggest some kind of humanure solution.
- flanbiscuit 13y agolooks to me like it doesn't have a bathroom and you are supposed to go outside (or in an outhouse). I'm also curious how this will hold up against strong weather conditions... heck even light weather conditions
- onehp 13y agoAt the low cost for that dome I'd be pretty tempted to stick another one on and divide it in two for kitchen and bathroom.
- nobodysfool 13y agoThis doesn't have a bathroom, it's just a place to sleep and work. Think of it like a workroom, or greenhouse. It was built on a foundation of masonry blocks and 2x4s If you wanted plumbing, you could certainly add it. That's the idea, you build it yourself.
- smoyer 13y agoI'd actually try going green in one of these - a composting toilet (http://www.letsgogreen.com/index.html http://www.letsgogreen.com/index.html) and plumbing that collects rainwater, then drains into a gray-water tank to be used on the gardens.
- dsuth 13y agoI wonder at what point the structure would become non self-supporting though, in terms of scaling up the size.
