How do I know if an Ekodome is right for my project?
A simple way to understand whether a geodesic dome fits your goals, your land, and the type of experience or space you want to create.
An Ekodome works well when you want a structure that feels safe, durable, and permanent, without dealing with the complexity of traditional construction. People choose domes for all kinds of projects, from greenhouses and studios to tiny homes, glamping suites, and commercial installations. The key is understanding what you want the space to do and how often you plan to use it.
Here’s a straightforward way to know if an Ekodome is the right fit.
1. Think about the purpose of the space
If your project is meant to be lived in, worked in, rented out, or experienced in a meaningful way, an Ekodome usually fits very well. Most customers choose domes for:
• tiny homes or backyard cabins
• glamping units for resorts and hospitality
• offices, studios, wellness spaces, or classrooms
• greenhouses and garden structures
• event spaces, tasting rooms, and outdoor venues
If you want a hard-shell, long-lasting structure with a unique look, it’s already a good match.
2. Consider how often the space will be used
If the dome is for year-round use, the PRO Series makes sense.
If it’s for seasonal use, the Original Series is usually enough.
The structure itself is always solid, what changes is the insulation level you need based on your climate and usage.
3. Consider whether you want a DIY build or a long-term building
• If you want something lightweight, DIY-friendly, and easy to install, the Original Series is ideal.
• If you want something permanent, insulated, and architectural, the PRO Series is better.
Either way, you’re not dealing with fabric, PVC, or anything temporary. Every Ekodome is a rigid, hard-panel structure.
4. Think about the look and experience you want
Ekodomes are chosen not just for function but for the feeling they create.
Customers who want:
• open, bright interiors
• a unique visual identity
• a modern, natural look
• something different from a box-shaped building
usually find that the dome fits exactly what they had in mind.
5. Consider your land and what you’re allowed to build
Dome foundations work on almost any terrain.
Local codes vary, but domes are often easier to permit than traditional buildings.
If your land has:
• slopes
• views
• limited space
• environmental restrictions
a dome often works better than a rectangular structure.
