GeoDome.sk
the first manufacturer in Slovakia, which from 2019 publicly offers commercial preparation of wooden structures of geodomes
… three years of preparation in modelling programs, with paper on the table, pencil and calculator in hand. And also in testing all the preparatory processes. In September 2019, I published a commercial preparation of wooden dome structures on the Internet.

services
– do you have the desire, the necessary tools and you can prepare and assemble the dome on your own? Depending on the chosen parameters – version, diameter, height, usable area – I can prepare documentation and cut/sawing plans with exact dimensions, angles for the preparation of struts and formwork for your dome. This also includes the diagram necessary for the assembly of the dome
– together we will choose the most suitable alternative for the dome design and the most advantageous preparation procedure. Due to the specific requirements of each dome buyer, all documentation is individually tailored.
– wooden structure, geodome
– according to the selected parameters – version, diameter, height, usable area, insulation thickness – I can prepare all the components of the geodome dome for you. With the possibility of preparing documents for its self-assembly or with a fully secured assembly by me
– due to the specific requirements of each interested party, the entire documentation is prepared individually tailored. It is not pre-prepared “turnkey”
– depending on the intended use of the dome, it is necessary to select the most suitable composition of the construction materials before the start of the preparations
– to join the pre-prepared triangles of the dome “butt” or to choose the option of joining the prisms of the dome via metal couplings? It all depends on the idea, dimensions and, last but not least, the financial possibilities of those interested in the dome
– first information call of about 20 minutes FREE of charge
– additional additional telephone communication – 50€ for each started hour
– do you intend to implement a dome of such size and design that its parameters fall under the provisions of the “Building Act” with the need for the preparation of documents and documentation for the construction procedure by an architect? In order to avoid the architect having to “reinvent the wheel” when it comes to the preparation of domes, I am able to assist the architect in the process of preparing the documentation and to inform him/her about the established practices and trends in the preparation of domes
– what all is involved in the need for a building permit for a dome project (in Slovakia):
usable area over 25m2
a building with necessary alterations and intervention in the ground (possibility of placing the dome loose on the ground, on ground bolts or piles up to 300mm in diameter)
connection to public energy networks – electricity, water, sewerage
whether the dome object fits into the territorial building plan of the village or town with its characteristic arched roof design (most system-preferred objects – buildings with flat, pitched or gable roofs)
dome preparation is an individual and variable process
I do not prepare domes in advance and I do not deliver according to the catalogue “on the turnkey” according to the chosen parameter of their design. I prepare each of them individually after precise specification of all parameters from the interested party. The approximate price of the domes can be found at the specific examples of realization. The final price depends on the consideration of other factors of preparation and the actual installation at the final location of the dome. The services offered can also be selected individually.

what is a geodome? - geodesic dome
The shape of the dome, geodome – in English “geodome, geodesic dome” – is one of the most effective types of structures used not only in modern architecture.
The first domed structure in a public space (in its triangular composition) was built in 1922 by Walther Bauersfeld. Carl Zeiss, a German engineer, as part of the planetarium in Jena. Buckminster Fuller, who is most associated with constructions of this type, was also involved in their spread and great popularity from the 1940s onwards. Although he was not the first geodesist to build a dome of this type.
The shape of not only the wooden dome is very close to nature. It improves perception and health, promotes an atmosphere of peace, well-being and joy, and gives a feeling of wholeness and perfection. The wooden dome helps and allows us to focus on ourselves, our inner self. It helps to develop creativity, expand consciousness, strengthen intuition and the energy of space. In such a space, with our purest inner attunement, there will always be room for love and abundance in any area of creation.
Despite the technical description, in the final embodiment, each of the structures is formed by interconnecting triangles with a possible aligned surface of the base – the bottom row of triangles. Although the various designs of the dome levels are similar, each is prepared individually to suit its dimensions. Also the thickness of the timber material used, the method of fixing to the foundation or subfloor and the accessories chosen – openings, insulation, roofing, windows, doors, …
