Introducing the SynVeils Eco Dome, a groundbreaking approach to sustainable living, beautifully merging innovative design with resilient and eco-friendly materials. These uniquely sculpted homes utilize advanced building methods including Aircrete and other cutting-edge 3D printed eco-materials, ensuring optimal efficiency, affordability, and aesthetic appeal.
Why Choose the SynVeils Dome?
Fireproof & Mold-Resistant:
The dome’s construction materials, such as Aircrete and Hempcrete, provide superior resistance to fire and mold, making these homes exceptionally suitable for regions prone to wildfires and humid climates. Aircrete, an ultra-lightweight concrete alternative, is non-toxic, moisture-proof, and inherently resistant to pests, offering a healthy, safe, and durable living environment.
Disaster Resilience:
Designed to withstand natural disasters, the SynVeils Dome structure meets FEMA standards for “near-absolute protection.” Its monolithic design withstands extreme weather conditions, including hurricanes, tornadoes, and heavy storms, giving occupants peace of mind and unparalleled safety.
Sustainable & Cost-Effective:
The domed structure uses significantly fewer materials compared to traditional buildings, reducing both environmental impact and construction costs. Aircrete, in particular, is affordable—ranging from $1 to $2 per square foot per inch of thickness—allowing construction of robust, energy-efficient homes at a fraction of traditional costs.
Elegant & Functional Design
The dome’s fluid curves and open-plan layouts create an inviting, harmonious living space that enhances creativity and tranquility. Featuring a central meditation or music space, generous natural lighting through strategically placed windows, and a loft bedroom with a circular skylight, each dome can be scaled up or down based on site-specific requirements, serving as single-family residences, Airbnb units, or part of a sustainable communal village.
Potential for 3D Printing Collaboration
Leveraging innovative 3D printing technology from leaders such as ICON3D, Mighty Buildings, and WASP, the SynVeils Eco Dome can be rapidly constructed with minimal environmental impact. 3D printing offers precision, reduced waste, and faster build times, making it an ideal solution for large-scale sustainable housing developments and disaster recovery housing.
Workshops & Community Building
SynVeils promotes community empowerment through interactive design-build workshops, educating participants on sustainable building techniques, foundational preparations, and finishing touches. By sharing skills in Aircrete mixing, mold creation, and dome construction, communities gain the tools and knowledge to independently construct affordable, eco-conscious homes.
