There are a number of reasons one might desire to construct a geodesic home. In addition to being aesthetically appealing, the geometric structures are less expensive to build than traditional houses, are virtually disaster-proof, and are also energy efficient. In addition, a dome can be turned into an eco-living abode, a greenhouse, a recreational living space, or even an indoor pool.

If you're seeking to someday build your own, look no further than what  Biodome Systems SRL has to offer. According to Inhabitat, the Romanian company sells 20 different models of geodesic homes and the sizes are customizable depending on the buyer's needs.

Remus Gall, the lead project manager at Biodomes says that the Omni triangulate surface is what allows each geodesic home to provide an inherently stable structure. Each dome comes with a metal frame, and stone walls insulate dwellers from the elements.

One of the greatest features is that the dome is resistant to many natural disasters. The company explains that the domes have "a natural resistance to external factors like earthquakes up to 8.5 on the Richter scale, winds up to 320 km/h due to the aerodynamic shape and loads up to 20 tonnes per point of structure."
