Ecodomos
Geodesic homes are nothing new. We all know they give you the best mass to volume ratio and utilizes nature's strongest shape, the triangle in their construction.
However, they never caught on mainly because their space-age shape doesn't sit well with the modern family. So how else would you market the idea? Why not a hotel? Why not a hotel that specializes in stargazing?
Thats exactly what Hotel Elqui Domos is. Located in Chile, the hotel consists of geodesic domes provided by Ecodomos. Each dome is has two levels; the lower consisting of the living area and bathroom. The second level contains the sleeping area and of course, a telescope. As patrons leave their hotel, they have the option of ordering an Ecodomos for themselves.
