The design is quite different from the houses we are accustomed to living in. Designed to have a dome shape, these houses are elegant, energy-efficient and resistant to tornadoes, hurricanes and hail. The designer also envisions their use as post-disaster relief dwellings, as the houses can be easily transported via cargo planes or helicopters.
