This is definitely pushing the boundaries of what belongs on “Tiny” House Talk, but this alternative dome home — or should I say, “mansion” — is worth looking at despite it’s monstrous size!
It’s created from 10 domes connected in a circle, that were built back in the 70s using balloons, rebar and foam. Pretty neat!
Jenna’s (Tiny House Giant Journey) video below interviews both the builder and current owners about the epic structure, which is now part-home, part-Airbnb.

Not tiny, but really cool. Thanks for sharing!
The original idea comes from southeast Turkey. The trick in this design is to create convection in a hot climate and create a cool interior. In addition, adobe was preferred since there is no rigid material such as wood and stone geographically. In these balloon houses, if the peaks are not open, there will be no air circulation, and you may have to feel the pressure of dirty and hot air.
