Our Domes are incredibly environmentally friendly and use 80% less concrete than conventional construction methods. This makes them ideally suited to the discerning consumer.

When you first walk into one of our Domes, the first thing you will notice is how spacious and relaxing they truly are. Without any hard right angles and just gentle curves, they create the perfect environment for recreational activities.

We see a clear market right here in Europe for  - Garden Leisure Buildings, Garden Rooms, Summer Houses, Garden Offices, Garden Gymnasium, Hot Tub Rooms, Garden Bar and Pool Room, Artist Studios, Music Rooms, Workshops.....The list is endless!!!!!

Our structures can be insulated to meet and exceed current Building Regulations which makes a space that is usable all year round.

When I developed the process of building our ultra-thin Shell Domes, it was with solving the problem low-cost housing in mind.

Coming from South Africa, I have witnessed the 'Shanty Towns' and slum dwellings first hand. My Parents were very involved in many Fund Raising Events to rebuild some of the Townships around Johannesburg and the Charitable Orphanages associated with this type of living.

Whilst labour is cheap in the third world, there is so much corruption and back-handed dealings that very often the funds are whittled away until almost nothing remains. The goods that are then purchased for the construction are so highly sought after for the shanty dwellings that it is literally stolen in broad daylight!

For example we have known of houses that have had the roof stolen during the night.

Apart from the very low cost of construction,one of the best things about the Dome Home is the small amount of materials required. This together with the high speed of construction and the fact that once a Dome has been has been built,the resulting home has no residual value other than that as a home.

There are no roof panels to be pilfered and the windows fit the Dome and no other house!

We have patents pending on the construction process and have made worldwide PCT applications to protect any early investments in this very viable process.

The Proof of Concept Dome (as seen in the pictures)was built by just 3 people during 2009 and took less than 2 weeks to construct and finish each stage of the main construction - 3 coats of concrete took just 4 hours to complete!

We firmly believe that it is possible for 10 people to build 10 houses in just 10 days, using 4 Construction Kits.

We have  taken this construction process to the next level instead of using expensive concrete spraying equipment the domes can now be built with completely unskilled labour. an ideal solution to labour employment and house building and if labour is in plentifully supply then there is no reason that they can not be built as fast if not faster than using spraying equipment

We are currently actively seeking investment from organisations/individuals to help build a Pilot Project of just 20 Dome Homes. Once we have successful completed this program,there are several large International Aid Agencies who have expressed an interest in building our type of Dome Home world wide in both Organised Housing Programs and Secondary Disaster Relief.

If you are interested in our Project or know of anyone who could help us realize this dream please call us today.

Kersie or candle town is a small low-cost settlement built on the side of a hill in Verlliers Dorp just off the garden route in the western cape .

I had heard horror stories of the condition of the low cost building  that had been built at the grant level of R56k or 5600 pounds .

It is typical of many low cost housing developments in South Africa and it was far worse than I had expected.

I started speaking to the home owners, at night when the wind blows they tie ropes around the roof beams and hang on to try to stop it blowing away. one whole street lost all their roofs one night  and some of the walls just fell in.

In the dome buildings I  was planning basic electricity a plug socket in each room with a light and swich I found that this would be considered lucsurious. Most homes do not have basic electricity let alone  a meter with 4 plug sockets underneath . Its the home owners responsibility to wire his own home. This they do with what ever they can find , I saw pieces of two ply taped together to make a lead in some places the wire was bare and small kids were running around.

These houses were just 3 years old the roof beams were not securely attached to the walls ,the walls were not plastered and the internal walls were not secure they moved when you leaned on them.

In order to further save money the homes had windows made of galvanized steel but even that was starting to rust after just 3 years .

Below are the pictures I took in just one home.

We are actively looking for people from all walks of life who would like to make a difference in their Country.

Our Business Philosophy is simple - 'To supply a Construction Kit as affordable as possible to empower local communties to rebuild their own homes.'

Our solution is to build a Dome using the minimum amount of materials to ensure a life long comfortable home.

Some key facts about our Domes:-

• They are stronger than most other methods of low-cost construction
• They are disaster resistant
• The Construction Kits are affordable e.g. the cost of the kit per home is approximately £200 per house
• They are eco-friendly and use a minimum amount of materials, the shell is just 40mm thick
• The Dome has no salvageable value, no tin roofs to steel or thatch to burn, when completed they are a home

We are looking for:-

• Government Housing Contractors
• Aid Agencies
• Private Contractors 

If you are interested in what we do, then please contact us for more information and construction cost sheets.

We would like to help people help themselves. Can you help us make that happen?

We are looking to build a 20 dome pilot program for project-o in zulu land at the end of 2011.

For more information on Project O and what we hope to do together please visit the project-o website

http://www.project-o.org/

Many large organisations have pledged their support to enable this pilot project to go ahead with nearly ?35 000 promised so far .

we are still short of ? 20 000 which project O is trying to raise  that's just ?1000 per home

If you would like to support this worthy cause and help one or more families please contact Martin at project o directly and sponsor a home today.

thanks
