A Unique Dome House In Melbourne, Australia

Hi guys, I searched about unique houses in the internet and I found a very interesting one. This Dome House in Australia is different from any other dome houses we already knew because of the shape of the house is not a solid geometric shape. The shape of the house is like a sphere but there are several parts been removed. This house was designed by McBride Charles Ryan.

As you can see from the image above, most of the part in the middle is being removed from the usual sphere shape and it makes it more unique. What I mean by unique is we can still see the shape of the sphere but in the middle there are many boxes which is very contrast with sphere. The colorful boxes also remind me of Lego.

This house also considered as a green house because there is a rainwater tank installed under the south desk and rainwater can go there through copper clad roof. The dome house also utilizes solar hot water, a drip garden watering system and double glazing to maximize energy efficiency.
