I have stayed in one of these domes and they are absolutely cute and totally cool! The spaces are nicely laid out because the domes are not that big. One word of advice...if you are planning to stay in one of these domes with another person, choose a partner that doesn't snore. Because of the dome shape, sound bounces off the walls really well and even if the snoring person is sleeping on another bed 10 feet away, you hear the snoring as if it's right next to your ear!
These look surprisingly beautiful in the landscape.
Reminds me of the Xanadu House of the Future in Kissimee, FL (right outside of Disney World), with the same type of construction. That house had a HUGE impact on me as a kid.
It looks like the valley broke out in hives.
I agree with brittanykate.
