Your’s is the only comment that makes sense and is not flippant. ESP (Expanded polystyrene foam (styrofoam). also can be reinforced with wire mesh, rendered on the exterior with a cement gravel mixture and painted with various polymer resin paints. How secure is that? Forget about kids throwing rocks at it or some twisted mind thinking to pour acetone on a ESP dome house.

Very original design.
Are plastic houses an ecological solution?
What would be their fire resistance and how much toxic fumes
would be generated if they do catch fire?
I have been designing, manufacturing and exporting timber framed dome kits for many years and never had a request for an all plastic design.

My dad built a foam dome in the 1960’s (spray foam on a frame) and one day, it blew away! LOL. Really, it rose up and skipped across a coupla farmer’s fields. We laughed and laughed. It looked like a foam igloo. I’m not really sure if we ever saw that foam dome again…..

After Hurricane Katrina, some of the only houses left standing in affected areas were polystyrene dome houses.
