Styrofoam dome homes

Styrofoam dome houses at Aso Farm Land (Photo by: Erika Snyder) While styrofoam may be most commonly associated with disposable coffee cups, meat trays and packaging, prefab home manufacturer Japan Dome House Co., Ltd. uses it to construct easy-to-assemble modular kit homes.

Dubbed the "habitat for the 21st century," the Dome House is an igloo-shaped structure built from snap-together wall sections made of 100% expanded polystyrene foam (styrofoam). It might seem like an odd choice of material for a house, but the company lists a number of advantages that styrofoam has over traditional materials. Unlike wood and metal structures, for example, the styrofoam Dome House does not rust, rot or attract termites. It is also highly resistant to earthquakes and typhoons. In addition, the walls, which are treated with a flame retardant, emit no toxic fumes in a fire.

Dome House interior The styrofoam used in the Dome House's 175-millimeter (7 in) thick walls is significantly denser and stronger than ordinary packing foam. The material has excellent thermal insulation properties, resulting in higher energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs.

Construction of the Dome House shell is quick and easy. The prefabricated pieces, which each weigh about 80

kilograms (175 lbs), can be carried by 2 or 3 people and assembled in a few hours. Once the shell is put together, coats of mortar and paint are applied for further protection from the elements. (Watch a short video of the assembly process.)

Measuring 7.7 meters (25 ft) wide and 3.85 meters (13 ft) tall, the basic Dome House has a floor space of 44.2 square meters (475 sq ft). It is possible to construct larger, elongated domes by adding more pieces, and joint units allow multiple domes to be connected into a single structure. Dome Houses, which are approved by Japan's Land and Transport Ministry, can be erected anywhere in Japan with the proper permit. According to the manufacturer, the versatile structures are suitable for use as hotel rooms, restaurants, freezer rooms, or even as hog farms. The Aso Farm Land resort village in Kyushu uses about 480 styrofoam domes as lodging, recreational facilities and retail shops.

Styrofoam dome steam room Whether or not this type of home is truly "perfect for the modern age" as the company suggests, the price is right. Dome House kits start at around 3 million yen (under $30,000), which does not include the cost of transport, assembly, interior construction, etc. [Link: Japan Dome House] 134 Comments Architecture Attraction Design Kyushu Material

Quite another techology, but I can produce any sizes or thickness up to 8,4m... [Reply] Ben 2010.06.01 ::: 13:20 # Domes have 33% more volume for surface area than standard square construction. That is why a air bubble in water is that shape the water pressure pushes the air into the shape with the least surface area it can.... so 33% less surface area = 33% less thermal transmission (heat energy transfer) even with identicle insulation A dome will use 33% less energy then conventional square homes of the same volume. 13' ceilings definitely make me feel less clausterphobic. also rock in the summer. I think u could make some very cool shelves with the ends embedded in the walls like a chord across a circle. I'm sure masonry anchors will work to hang pictures.

2008.09.01 ::: 02:19 # Dome houses are treated and covered with cement on the outside and plaster on the inside... Which solves the problem of "kids throwing rocks and someone damaging the inner walls with acetate. They are Fire, hurricane and earthquake proof as well as they have the best insulating factor than ANY other product[ R-ratings are Not scientific-they are a myth created by the fiberglass companies] If you are concerned about their strength and durability go to http://static.monolithic.com/ and follow the links, there is more than enough proof... North American domes may be slightly different but I believe the Japanese models could be modified to meet our "archaic + Prehistoric " building codes... Leave it up to the Industrious Japanese to come up with affordable, low cost housing... years ahead of us in North America.... With climate changes and the housing markets becoming "unattainable for most, it's time we took off our blinders and started to keep our narrow minds in sync with our technology... Thanks for posting this... [Reply] Harvey 2008.09.02 ::: 08:15 # The topic "Styrofoam Dome Homes" is a blatant misnomer. These dome houses are NOT made of Styrofoam! They are made of special Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). The EPS used by Japanese dome builders (who must comply with the world's strictest building material and construction codes) contains an anti-oxidant to resist aging and emits NO formaldeyhde. As to fire concerns, EPS will melt before it burns. As mentioned, the application of GigaCrete Inc's fire-rated, LEED ("green") certified exterior coating 'StuccoMax' and interior coating 'PlasterMax' renders the EPS structure entirely fireproof. Both coatings can attain compressive strengths well in excess of 10,000 pounds per square inch and will neither shrink nor crack. StuccoMax and PlasterMax are light immensely strong coatings that contain no Portland cement or any toxic substances. Their surfaces can be painted or, better yet, the pigment can be added to the mix before application. Whereas Portland-based stucco requires two or three coats, both StuccoMax and PlasterMax are one-coat products, either troweled or sprayed on. They stick to virtually anything including drywall. [Reply] Mary 2008.09.13 ::: 17:16 # I've been looking at building a dome house in the USA . I can build the house of my dreams for half the cost , radiant floor heating & solar panels ,go completely off grid ! Cooler still , YURTS!!! you can put up a 30' foot yurt (900 sq feet ) for less than $10K , throw in a bathroom & a kitchen for a total of $20K . There's no need for homelessness . The gov't could set aside some of the more than 50% of our nation's land they have , & volunteer organizations could build communities of them . I do wish I could get the styrofoaam material here , but larger than the ones they were building . I've got 6 kids . I need more than a 400 & something sq. ft. house. It's not that difficult to give up traditional structuring. We only have the illusion of security in our dry wall built structures now . At present our homes are largely made out of chalk! You could have the largest lock on your front door , but if someone REALLY wanted to , they could put their fist through your wall & tear their way in . [Reply] Suesieq 2010.02.28 ::: 00:34 # They would have a hard time putting their fist through a half inch sheet of plywood.

Quiero informacion del precio de las casas para Guatemala, Centro America, en ESPAOL [Reply] Brandon 2010.04.07 ::: 06:41 # Looks really cool. Many good properties. Unfortunately, I have some experience with foam as a home. The Farm community in Summertown Tennessee used large sheets and blocks of "Amotex", an expanded polystyrene foam product we found easily available. It was used primarily as insulation material inside of canvasskinned basic framed structures. One structure caught fire in the night and a family was seriously burned. When it catches fire, it turns into a kind of napalm - melting and dripping and sticking to whatever it touches burning. Also witnessed a demonstration filmed where half of a normal house room was mocked up, with ceiling, and this same foam used in the walls for insulation. The camera was set up a good 10 to 12 feet from the structure, which was then set alight. The literal explosion of flame, once the foam firmly caught, was shocking to everyone who witnessed the demonstration; the camera having to be heroically snatched in the nick of time before being engulfed itself in the spew of fire. Even with "a layer of fire retardant" and a layer of stucco, there is not way I would have my family inside one of these. [Reply] Nolan Scheid 2010.05.18 ::: 00:53 # These domes are wonderful!

Not many harsh building codes to deal with presently where I live. We have an annual, what we call, "green scene" demonstration and part of it includes building and showing green homes. Many of us live completely off the grid, and go so far as to use water catchment for our water supply, and such. I would like to bring this technology to the area. I Have 5 acres of land in Texas and Would lend it out for a demonstration building of one of these Styro-Stucco Homes. If interested please contact back. Thank you.
