Regarding heat in a geodesic dome: A geodesic dome's shape creates a natural air flow that distributes the heat evenly throughout the entire dome: At the rim of the dome - air is cooled at the inner surface, so it falls towards the floor *at* those surfaces. Meanwhile: Hotter air at floor rises towards the highest point of the dome (the top center). If you want ventilation: Open the dome's ventilation hatches at the top of the domes - and - open hatches at *floor level* - and a convection air flow starts - no AC needed.

I think the owner chose the geodesic dome as a way to stand out from other BnB offers. However, it's important to keep in mind that this is still a fabric-covered shelter; so its durability, thermal and noise performance can't be compared with conventional homes but with other lightweight shelters like yurts or tents. Modern geodesic homes have solved most of the shortcomings of the basic design, so it might be worthy to visit an actual home to see how it compares with conventional domestic buildings.

Hi, you have booked a dome which is not fully function. Most of the modern domes comes with a remote control screen below the skylight, which can be closed and opened obviously. 😂

I think in many aspects your right, But it is still a tent. if this would be from concrete or ceramic, isolated eso, you would not have that many contras anymore. also , you where their in a bad moment, namly, they where still in construction mode. Dont miss understand me, i like your revieuw. And i would look forward for a revieuw from you , in a real build dome. Greetings from Belgium.
