Zome or geodesic dome? Differences, floor areas and price

What sets them apart

What a dome costs, delivered and installed

The zome does not have a closed price in our engine yet: shipping from California and assembly are calculated project by project. You get a quote on request, and the comparison is made on the final price.

When to choose a zome

• You want compact units, from 11 to 28 m²: several rooms or offices on the same plot.
• Your project has at least two units, the manufacturer's minimum.
• You want panels that don't burn or absorb moisture.
• You prefer to order the kit and import it yourself, with our support.

When to choose a geodesic dome

• You want a single unit, or a closed final price right now.
• You need more space: 38.5 m² for the Sirius, 44.4 m² for the Ara.
• You want the Sirius's standard full bathroom and opening roof.
• You want a known lead time: 8 to 12 weeks from deposit, assembled.

Frequently asked questions

Is a zome a dome?

Not quite. Both are round and faceted, but a zome is a zonohedron, with diamond-shaped faces, while a geodesic dome is divided into triangles. The Zome we offer is made of insulated panels, with no timber frame.

Which one costs less?

The dome has a closed final price, delivered and assembled, in the table above and in the configurator. The zome is on request, because shipping from California is calculated project by project. Ask for both and compare the final price.

Can I mix zomes and domes on the same plot?

Yes. Tell us how many of each and you'll get one quote for the whole project.

What is the lead time?

For the dome, 8 to 12 weeks from deposit to the assembled unit. For the zome, it depends on the manufacturer's production schedule: we confirm it with the quote.
