Materials
and the dome structure

Our domes are a layered construction. Each layer has a job, from weather protection to a stable interior climate.

We chose materials for their technical performance — strength, durability, insulation and compliance with current building practice — not only for their appearance.

Structure

Layered dome shell

Each layer handles weather, climate or the structural load

Architectural section of the dome: shell, frame and interior

Architectural section of the model

  • Outer shell ACP panel with a PVDF coating
  • Ventilation gap Air movement and moisture leaving the wall
  • Thermal insulation A stable interior climate through the year
  • Load-bearing frame A modular geodesic structure
  • Interior finish The finish layer for daily use
Specification

Outer cladding and the main materials

Triple insulating glass

Triple glazing

An insulating glass unit, argon-filled, with a low-E coating. It admits daylight and limits heat loss.

AISI 316 connectors — stainless steel

AISI 316 connectors

Marine-grade stainless steel. Resistant to corrosion, moisture and UV, and specified for a long service life of the frame.

Energy performance

A stable interior climate and controlled running costs

The layered build gives strong insulation and a stable interior climate.

  • A layered shell with lower heat loss
  • Continuous protection from moisture and thermal bridges
  • Comfortable in seasonal and year-round use
  • Options to integrate building services for the project
