Dome Building
Meet the true needs of your people and place through unique, healthy, comfortable and sustainable spaces.
Benefit from the fusion of the best of traditional, low-impact building techniques and modern technologies.
Whether you need a family house, classroom, meeting space, yoga studio, home office or rental? Contact us!
Dome building is one of my biggest passions. Having lived in Asia for twelve years, I am influenced by vernacular architecture and traditional building techniques. I have an ethos that respects and works with the nature of the site, enhancing the landscape.
Below are some photos of the domes I have built in Europe and Asia over the last eight years.

What are the advantages of domes?
> The form of a dome is very strong and use less materials than conventional buildings yet outperform them in structural tests.
> They mirror the suns path maximising solar gain.
> No separate roof structure is required, saving time and money.
> Domes are spacious, healing structures with a unique beauty.
> Domes are efficient, covering the most living area with the least amount of surface area.
> Domes require less energy to heat and cool because they circulate air effectively and maintain even temperatures. This combined with 15 - 25cm of aircrete insulation makes them extremely efficient structures with low running costs.
My style of dome building
I often work with a small footprint yet the spaces feel spacious. This is achieved through built in bespoke furniture, high ceilings and a considered colour palette.
Natural plasters, using earth from the site and tadalak surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen offer texture and connection.
All my domes have cross ventilation, which keeps the building fresh and cool.
High insulation provides a comfortable space as well as low running cost.
They require no more maintenance than the conventional approach.
The combination of natural materials, plenty of natural light from the sky lights as well as the round custom windows and the absence of straight lines bestow the inhabitants a feeling of physical and mental well-being. The house has a womb like calming effect, the sensation of being in a cave without loosing the functionality of a family home or yoga studio.
With years of building experience, my buildings are finished with integrity and within the set timeframe.
I work with multiple talented licensed architects in Southern Europe, Eastern Europe and Turkey to meet codes and provide the necessary technical drawings for the build.
