R. Buckminster Fuller - inventor, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet and cosmologist was truly a man ahead of his time.

‘Bucky‘, as he was affectionately known, is the inventor of the geodesic dome - the lightest & strongest structure ever devised. A geodesic dome can cover more space without internal supports than any other enclosure. It becomes proportionately lighter and stronger the larger it is. The geometry allows proper circulation of air with little energy input.

With a lineage of master geometricians, one of whom is credited with being the father of science and philosophy, Pythagoras, ‘Bucky‘ was an expert at observing nature and its fundamental geometry.

The Pythagorean schools, with their knowledge of the ‘music of the spheres‘, are the foundation of inspiration for the famous geometricians that followed, including Plato and Kepler. They all had a profound sense that the geometry found in nature is fundamental to creation. Many new and exciting unification theories are now using these fundamental geometries to solve complex space equations, supporting the view that geometry structures space and is fundamental to creation.

Imagine yourself living in a highly structured space that replicated the fundamental geometry of creation - the same geometry at the root of heavenly spheres and the molecules of your body.

Many healers use domes because they believe that geometry helps reorganize the cells of the body and hence improve health and creativity.

Another advantage of the dome is that it can be used to remove stray electromagnetic waves by grounding the metal structure into the earth.

The ultimate geometry of creation is the sphere - atoms, molecules, the earth, sun, stars, moon, etc. All spheres mathematically generate a point of singularity at the centre where all waves cancel out to create stillness - the Bindu point of ancient meditation practice.

Although the dome is a hemisphere, it emulates these dynamics. Many practitioners of meditation use domes to enhance their practice with great success. Musicians enjoy practicing and performing in domes.

The acoustics inside the dome are phenomenal and exquisite, because of the spherical coordinates. The centre point of the dome generates the unique effect of hearing yourself from within.

Energy Efficiency
With no stagnant corners, the airflow inside a dome is continuous, requiring less energy to circulate air and maintain even temperatures. The energy required to heat and cool a dome is approximately 30% less than a conventional building. The high volume-to-surface-area ratio requires less building materials to enclose more space. This means that the lower the ratio of a building's outside perimeter to its enclosed living area, the less energy is required for building, heating and cooling.

The sphere has 25% less surface area per volume enclosed than any other shape. The dome combines the inherent stability of triangles with the advantageous volume-to-surface-area ratio of a sphere. The larger the dome, the more efficient it becomes.

Structurally Sound
A dome is aerodynamic and has a dynamic centre of gravity that stands strong against wind. Gravitational forces are spherical. The Earth's centre is the origin of the gravitational forces of the Earth. This dynamic is present in all of nature, including domes. Tried and tested physics - nature's own geometry. Many progressive architects replicate nature's designs to ensure structural integrity.

Dome accommodation is a unique and enjoyable experience you will never forget.
