Photographer and musician Steve Areen recently finished his dome property on a gifted piece of land on his friend’s mango field. In accordance to Steve: ” On an organic mango farm, far into the countryside of northeastern Thailand, I have built my tiny dome house. I also have a YouTube video tour right here.”

Steve Areen is not a typical builder and this dome property is incredible! Taking cues from his brother-in-law’s brother, he used a pivoting arm strategy to create a perfect sphere and then built his tiny Dome House employing locally-produced concrete bricks. Circular wooden blockouts are used to frame the cantilevering windows just before the 1st layer of plaster is utilized which properly seals the interior. A final, vibrant layer of plaster is applied to the interior and exterior, providing the house it’s bright luster in the tropical forest. 6 weeks and 9,000 dollars later on, Steve had his extremely personal self-constructed property.

Reality be informed, rules are a small lax in Thailand, so Steve wasn’t necessary to receive building permits for his 500 square foot residence, which naturally shortened the procedure.  The construction itself landed close to six,000 bucks with the finishes coming in at underneath three,000, but Steve also notes that the price is exclusive to the nation. The terracotta paint meshes beautifully with the lush tropical fauna, whilst little ponds add even greater serenity to the site and design.

Hajjar Gibran, the friend that assisted Steve create his dream residence, has a dome building firm. If you’d like to understand more info on the procedure, verify out his website and indicator up for a workshop. Hajjar, who has now designed a technique for generating compressed earth blocks, hopes to begin a new campaign to carry on developing far more productive residences of related variations.

I then became good friends with Carl's brother Hajjar who with his wife Lumyai invited me to build on their mango farm. Carl gave me my first experience home building when I was 15 years old and Hajjar was my guidance in building my Thailand dome home. Love ya Brothers! Love ya Sister!All done! ...Yeah, right! HaHa!
