If you're ready for the comfort of dome home living, but you're not sure you're up to the challenge of building your own dream home, Natural Spaces has the answer: a Dome Home Construction Workshop for owner-builders, owner-contractors and dome-ophilies.
FREE DOME SCHOOL OFFER!
When you buy a dome from us, we will deduct the dome school fee you paid us plus $200 for out of state attendees or $100 for Minnesota and Wisconsin residents (limit 2 per dome).
It's simple - Dome School is now free!
June 2009 Dome School
September 2009 Dome School
Here's Why You Should Attend
-
Because this is the first and still the only Dome School that takes you out of the lecture hall and puts you into the workshop, and gives you hands-on construction site experience.
-
Because with today's higher building costs, the only way to afford a new home is to participate in the building process.
-
To learn how to keep your energy costs down by using our design techniques developed from planning hundreds of domes.
-
To learn how to save money and time using our proven construction techniques developed from helping dome owner-builders for over 35 years.
-
The workshop is open to anyone who's interested in learning to build a dome or those who want to have control of their dome building project. Give us a weekend of your time and we'll give you the hands-on experience you need to get your dome started.
-
Learn the options and details about domes by studying the 9 domes at our dome school headquarters.
