Builds Quonset bunkers for a living. Lives in Dome Home in the woods

[@VikingShelters]

Thank you for coming to visit the Dome Home with your family, I love the production of the video. We'll continue to share updates on our channel as they happen, along with other videos to do with other projects, etc! Take care and hope to have you visit for an update one day !

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

What is the plan for the Hobbit houses you want to build? Guest houses for family and friends? Airbnb? Just for fun? The house looks beautiful by the way.

[@fjkennedy]

Greetings from Canada: Thanks for sharing your most incredible home. You’re truly a master craftsman.

[@VikingShelters]

@josephhoward8735 Great point ! It is 52 Ft

[@nicolasboullosa]

Thank you for sharing your story with the audience; it’s quite challenging to do partitions within half a sphere and you make it look easy; looking forward to seeing the rest of the work you were about to finish when we visited.

[@Hero4Hire4]

I absolutely LOVE your home! I follow you Viking Shelters on KZbin and Twitter (X). If you ever branch out into monolithic domes with your shelters for fallout protection you’ll have the market cornered! 🫡💪🏽🏆

[@claire_A-T]

I wish more contractors would be willing to build homes like this.

[@Josh-yr7gd]

That dome looks so much bigger inside than it does outside. Great work so far. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@gracepurcell7825]

I absolutely LOVE this dome home. I'd love to have a tour..I'll be in NoCal wwoofing over the summer and would love to meet this innovative man.

[@BRaff-hl4ip]

That gem of information regarding the sound recording is absolutely fascinating.

[@janwoodward7360]

I live in a self built geodesic dome we started in 1980. Very efficient. Very comfortable and flexible with many possibilities for interior designs. I love mine.

[@steveturansky9031]

Monolithic domes, like this, are the best kind (made from a one piece shell of concrete). They are extremely strong, very insulated (with foam), and not prone to leaking. The problem with Geodesic domes is all the seams where the triangles meet. Eventually, these seams may leak.

[@fredsimmons2793]

Thanks Kirsten and family for this tour.Its so good to know these people and places exist.Salute to this hospitable gentleman.

[@mikecranapple8878]

Another awesome episode! Thanks Kirsten & crew!

[@boardwalkbw7130]

That sliding door gave me crush vibes on this Carpenter....excellent!!!...the curved sliding door too...can't even handle how awesome this is

[@nuanteeks8602]

This guy is absolutely brilliant with his thoughts of designs

[@VikingShelters]

Thank you ! Wait till you see the Dome once it is all finished !

[@boardwalkbw7130]

I can't wait to see it finished...so inspired!!! Love how you taught us of the frequencies...you got me day dreaming!@@VikingShelters

[@EGlideKid]

Really great. I could love living there, especially as a retirement home for two.

[@GonkyWonkler]

I like David's style. I remember watching his last featured video on your channel. Lots of novel solutions, and creativity on display. Great inspiration.

[@GonkyWonkler]

Not to mention his plan to make a hobbit village.

[@TLTSofit]

I’m typically a very linear person and struggle with curves unless they are do e very well. This is incredible- it’s curved but still clean looking and less “artsy/whimsical” - I’m in love

[@geraldinemcguire1698]

A fabulous abode. I love his design process...definitely inspired by Yah.

[@ironhorce]

Praise Yah

[@yardhog]

Really enjoyed the thought process and the addition of his video showing the completed spare bedroom and couch. Another great video Kirsten.

[@bdmenne]

That half circle couch looks perfect from the balcony view!

[@Johnny-rj9on]

Seems like a magic trick with how much bigger it looks on in the inside

[@linzierogers5024]

So do I but people are creatures of habit. They like progress but not the change it brings.

[@66block84]

Have always admired dome homes. Have been to Monolithic Dome Homes in Italy, Texas twice.

[@elsaarauz2188]

I will take some wine.....and have to say what an absolutely beautiful man

[@kimberlystone3987]

There is a huge dome in upstate New York . Just past Woodstock, it was the film critic, Judith Crist .. My mom used to clean for her , she lived in the city , but The dome was her country home.. I’ve got fond memories of her big parties with the likes of Woody Allen , and Marlin Brando .. As a kid it was just another party….. Cool house, google it ❤

[@regenerativegardeningwithpatti]

NIce job. I would like to see more dome and underground houses. Thanks for the work you are doing.

[@Karkawry1970]

When he could hear the people talking in the corner, that is the Whispering Gallery effect, due to curvature of the structure of the dome

[@redspit99]

I really liked his underground Quonset Hut.

[@vraalten]

This is a seriously cool house created by a creative and amazing person!

[@leedza]

It's cute that son knows the dad really well. In the end he was right, it totally fits his personality

[@loriturner609]

So neat to see how he is working with those curves to bring practical function and beauty together. Such an interesting house!

[@barefoothippies]

Amazing artist and person,thank you for filming this! ❤❤❤

[@debbralehrman5957]

What a great Dome. I like what he has done with the in side. The door upstairs is awesome. Thanks for sharing his home. I really like his idea of the Hobbit village. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌺

[@sololondon2159]

This guy is brilliant!!

[@pasveritas1872]

Ahhh...curvi-linear architecture always been my absolute favourite. Thanks Kirsten - really loved his take & response to living in a curved space

[@joneidbo]

Dave has great vision and vibes. Love his idea for a hobbit home village!!

[@Who.is.Clinton]

Oh and I love the dome colour and the "blisters", gives the dome a post appocolypse feeling to it❤❤❤❤

[@kiukk9288]

great house, didn't expect to be so big this guy knows what to do

[@suziperret468]

Yea for Domes! Love the stability and gorgeous curves!

[@richardparker7121]

He has got a-lot of talent. The palm trees made with the light blue plaster is a perfect touch.

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

This is such a beautiful interior!!

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

Very beautiful..... love the semi-circular sofa.

[@blueman5924]

Interesting, it seems so much bigger on the inside than the outdoor view reveals. Nice wood beams. Would be great to revisit once it is all done.👍

[@boysrus61]

I love this house!

[@marky3131]

Thanks for continually bringing us such great content.

[@erinjohnson9873]

I also live in a dome home! Mine is a 50 foot diameter monolithic institute’s dome and half buried on the north side. It’s very energy efficient but we are not off grid. I’d love to chat some time!

[@americanpancakelive]

Wow- a pretty cool aesthetic. The curved stairways look lovely though I always wonder how you get things upstairs but I am sure that this guy can figure anything out.

[@mybabba]

From the outside, it didn’t look like much, but inside it is magnificent!

[@youtublos]

Beautiful house, very nice!

[@paulus.tarsensus]

Glad she got to do your own dome home, David. You probably have a couple other designs you did that could be showcased on her channel, too. You have unique solutions.

[@kath6229]

WOW.... I am not easily pleased, but love it.

[@generaljellyroll8737]

I honestly don't understand why more homes don't take advantage of the fact that the temperature doesn't fluctuate much beyond 65 under the frostline. There should be a network of underground communities in places above sea level. Hobbits and ants know what is up

[@cursedfox4942]

@@generaljellyroll8737 go inside a cave sometime you’ll figure it out

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🤗 THANKS KIRSTEN,VIKING HOMES YOUR HOME HAS SO MANY GREAT IDEAS 💡💡💡, AND YOUR WORK IS MUCH MORE CLEVER TOO 🧐 I LOVE ❤️ A DOME HOME AND BEING OFF GRID 🤗😎💚💚💚

[@user-roadwander]

Thank you for great presentation. This sort of home has been rolling in around in my head for years. I have architectural training, but pursued a mechanical engineering career. I am adding this to my bucket list.

[@Sage-1111]

I Love it so much more than the underground bunker. Great designs Ty for sharing

[@Justus11167]

Beautiful design. What a talented gift to have.

[@szbarnaus]

Stunning! Great house, great episode again! Thank you!

[@belindapoplin5439]

Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!😊

[@laverite1050]

Just wondering how the drainage works as the rain water comes off the structure and that it sits on the bottom of a slope. Very cool house.

[@Kains_whored]

Just saw the description… I missed the part where this dome was disaster proof so nvm on the foundation lolll I’m pretty sure this place is good to go

[@csruehle0507]

Wow!! This is the BEST home ever! I want me a dome home in my future! 🤯🔥🙏

[@catshepherd3102]

My cat was watching with me. He was trying to look around the corners. He wants to explore it! 😸

[@johngrimble3050]

Skilled craftsman

[@univedia1498]

Looks cozy.

[@skyeseaborn1170]

Very cool! Thanks so much for sharing this one.

[@eleicajunstrom8724]

I loved this episode! I have always wanted to build a dome home. Thank you!

[@tlockerk]

Love the house and future dreams.

[@lazaromanalo9486]

Very creative he is highly skilled.

[@LincolnWorld]

Thanks for another great video! I've wanted to have a place like this for a long time. Or underground, or carved out of the side of a cliff,... etc. LOL Your channel helps me keep that dream alive, and inspired to keep working towards it.

[@robertlaird6746]

I also live in an unfinished geodesic dome home. It's a 50' and a 20' diameter three story wood dome structure.

[@halleluya9055]

At 4:24 the home owner speaks of someone who tested the sounds and sound frequencies of different structures. My guess is he was talking about the late Dr. G. Patrick Flanagan?

[@davehygaard2]

Yes I was

[@patstats1]

I love how the updates have been edited in! A lovely dome home. It felt good. And looks good too. Can’t wait to see the Hobbit Village.

[@jlhenderson2]

Love the dome home concept......I hope you revisit this place once the Hobbit village is completed.

[@jessstone7486]

It's amazing that solar can run this place - so many trees and the panel set I saw was nearly hidden. Property must be in eastern WA...? I've lived in western WA and while summers of old were great, these days, weather there stinks - hence my move to sunnier climes. Thx for the tour - love the curves.

[@Who.is.Clinton]

Man oh man, loved this design and build, one of the best you guys have reviewed for a while. Loved the internal balconies of the dome.

[@MaLi-re6re]

I Love This Dome Home & Hope I can own 1 in the future. It feels so Comfy/Cozy. Thanks Again for Sharing❤

[@pitbulxdeaa]

I love this guy, so creative

[@paquette1343]

Wow! I really love domes! Keep them coming! Also curious about the hobbit homes.

[@melissareid640]

Really beautiful on the inside, his property and location are so very nice. Practical and efficient.

You are an artist 🎨 and an architect mate. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷.

[@brendafarrow3117]

Thank you for one more Artis Dome . Love It ! I got little money . Want this man to build it , yea ? You could use epoxy paint on the outside of the dome .

[@donwyates]

I'd love a dome house. Especially in Oregon.

[@ltandrepants]

Brilliant!

[@Jayapullani]

Great place very inspiring, it must be wonderful to be able to create your own home and living space in this way, also love the spaciousness within and some connected to the height of the roof.

[@wendydevereux4375]

Wow, just WOW. I love what you have done with it.

[@sevenravens]

Awesome design, balanced space in a unique way.

[@ClimbToGlory10thMntn]

Pretty amazing build. Can’t wait to see his hobbit homes once they’re built and hope you go back for another video to show us. 😊

[@kirstendirksen]

Will definitely be visiting when he builds more.

[@Nibiru3600X]

I will be ready to live in one of his! 5 years is perfect 👌

[@DaleLClay]

I may have missed it, did they ever indicate what part of the Country this was in?

[@VikingShelters]

At the beginning of the video and in the description. The Pacific Northwest 😉

[@aliendroneservices6621]

They've been filming in Oregon for the past few months. There are a bunch of these in Oregon (but also tons in Idaho where Monolithic is based).

I'm from Idaho. Born, not raised but summers at two Granny's. Seattle is my hometown and now I'm Cle Elum, WA. I also use a pipe for a pointer. ps. Don't trash the walk-in tub because it, in itself, will finance the Reno. 😎

That dome needs more blisters of various sizes to give it a more organic look.

What is the diameter of this dome? Seems like a very good size.

52 feet

@@kirstendirksen sorry how thick were the walls? the dome exoskeleton? i'm curious to know detail how his spray foam achieved r80 ! i don't recall you or he mentioning it in the video... since i am looking at 32" thick walls with a r150 goal i really wanna know! thanks kirsten/nicolás :)
