An eco-friendly architectural company in Seattle called Geoship is producing geodesic dome tiny homes that are earthquake, fire, and hurricane proof.

The geodesic dome design was popularized by architect Buckminster Fuller in the 1970s and is praised in part for its weather resistance and unique rounded shape.

Gossip is producing their homes using bio ceramic, a resilient substance made from minerals that can be sourced from urban waste-stream activities like water treatment plants—but so nontoxic, it’s been used in bone and tooth replacements for decades.

These dome houses are not only chemical-free, resilient in strong winds, unlikely to fall apart in earthquakes, and burn-resistant up to 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit (1482 C). They are chemically inert, self-venting and carbon-dioxide sequestering. Geoship aims to help regular people start land trusts to create dome “villages” and even offers co-op part-ownership of the company to the buyers.
