A passively cooled house!

Yes, indeed the rc core would work well.

Thanks Bob, I will have good read about it over the weekend as it looks most interesting indeed.

Interesting looking house, Mike.
This would be a passively cooled house and it's immune to hurricanes. Well... at least for now since they don't get that far north.

I understand those igloos are easy enough to heat, if you don;t mind the drips!
Reminds me of my 'RotoDome' house I lost interest in .... must have another look
at it.
-
An umbrella will handle the drips.
Your house looks interesting. You ought to develop it and build it. Could be a nice summer cottage.

The dome has the most interior space for the least exterior surface, so it does work well in terms of energy efficiency.

Hi there! I have been coming back to this topic every once in a while, and I downloaded the pdf attached in the first entry ages ago. Always telling myself I wanted to do it in Sketchup. I have finally come around to complete the model. It is far from perfect but it was really fun to make.
It's amazing what a non-client project can teach you in terms of details to add, general "feel" of the model and such. I'm uploading only a screenshot for now, because the model is too big to attach. The model weighs in at 17MB and all has been done by me, apart from face me components and 3D rocks.
I hope to have it on the 3D Warehouse soon, but I think I am going to wait until the passage between google and trimble has been completed.
For now, I hope you enjoy this image

Looks very interesting broomstick. Looking forward to exploring the actual model when you upload to 3DWH, please keep us posted.

Mike, could we see an animation of that upper deck in a hurricane?
