Our mission is to help reduce the suffering associated with the destruction and loss of one's home in a natural disaster. We want to help promote awareness of the superior building technologies that can alleviate unnecessary losses. Many of the new technologies are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than their predecessors allowing the construction of structures while protecting and preserving the delicate balance of nature.Posted by Administrator
Our home is available for rent and we participate in annual house tours allowing others the opportunity to personally experience the benefits of monolithic domes.
In the six years since we wrote this mission statement, many hurricanes have devastated the Gulf Coast. The Dome of a Home withstood these storms admirably, receiving no structural damage. We have had numerous guests from the affected areas visit and discuss the attributes of building a dome building in the coastal environment. The Dome of a Home allows them to actually see one that has looked into the face of Mother Nature's fury and survive.
The Dome of a Home's notoriety soared during Hurricane Ivan's reign upon the Gulf. Three days before landfall, the Travel Channel aired an AMAZING VACATION HOMES episode featuring the Dome of a Home. They had been to the house to film in May and less than four months later the Dome of a Home is making global news because she is facing "the Storm of the Century" with the MSNBC news crew inside of her. The news crew placed incredible faith in her and we are grateful she proved herself worthy.
Because of the recent inundation of tropical systems along the coast, the media coverage has been overwhelming. The Dome of a Home has been featured on National Geographic's HURRICANE SUMMER; UK's IS THIS THE WORST WEATHER EVER?; Discover Channel's EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HURRICANES; ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA; several news programs and more newspapers than I could keep count.
In our original mission statement we wanted to promote awareness of superior building technologies. This has happened beyond our wildest expectation -- the silver lining behind Ivan, the Terrible's storm clouds.
