DIY tiny home you can build in weeks | Hard Reset

Carbon = Life.
Have we forgotten?

Gringos will do anything instead of living in apartments hahahahah. No matter what it takes...

Purchase any dome frame kit....cover outside with Hardie board...with over lapping seams or just seam tape and paint with elastomeric paint dun! Much less cost...nothing earth quake proof and why pay for the engineering if not in a quake zone....uh...zome....

That intro has done damage to my child hood that cant be undone. WTF is wrong with you people. 😢

I consider this a gimmick. Concrete domes are nothing new. The price per square foot is way high. Scale it up to a livable size and set a price so we can really compare.
3D printing is about to revolutionize the housing industry anyway.

Why didn't they invent a new name for their structures? There were of people building "zomes" in the early 1970s.

Billionaire playhouse for their children.

your making a video about zomes and try and show examples and show some domes that are definitely not zomes.

I can get a prefab shed that size dropped on my property for a couple grand. I can sheathe it with concrete for a few hundred and a few days. As a bonus, it’ll have square corners so my furniture will fit in it.

Container homes with the same space 30sq/m costs $15k. ( here in Argentina )

The main issues with Housing Shortage is Location, Size, Target and Diversity of options.

Location: We have plenty of room to build house. Why don't we? Why is it difficult?

Size: for the US and similar location, single-family house is the least efficient. The opposite shouldn't be skyscraper and 20-floor towers. 4-6 floors max and mix size, studio, 1-bedroom, basically multifamily housing with areas for activity can help a lot.

Target: stop building houses only for the richest among us. That should be clear enough, but gov should own a portion of those buildings to have a control of supply-demands. (why gov? some housing shouldn't just be market, but also a service.)

Diversity: it's fine to have the occasional single-family housing segment, but not when it's suburbs like and just spreading with bringing services and Life to an area. The suburban sprawl is a nightmare and a plague for biodiversity. And don't get me started on lawns...

Cost is still high for a kit.
Wood is so expensive and a precise resource.
Why are they not doing recycle plastic bottle forming for the structural -- it would flex like wood! Because they cant get the permits!
That piece of property they show has got to be soooooo expensive!
Cheers

Hempcrete!!!

10 minutes of watching..... not an inside tour of the house....?!!!! what a joke

Karim still has room on his neck for tattoos

The future of humanity will be in tents.

As a fire victim building a new house with insurance right now - Zomes are a bargain. Great video

Just build a wigwam, it's better and it costs 1,000x less

Americans are such bizzare creatures, if you can't build your house for under 1k you shouldn't even be considering getting a house in the first place

why do all these people always make goofy & gimmicky clown houses? this is why all these projects keep and will keep failing.

A lot of blablabla and no fire testing. That's all

Building what is tantamount to a concrete oven to survive a wildfire seems like a bad idea.

All I see and hear is capsule. Co IRL

wonder how these Zomes would fare in an Island in the Caribbean or Atlantic, Hurricane zones? If they are built on Strong concrete foundations.

I think a steel skeleton would improve flexibility and overall strength

Its a nice idea but surely easier to build in the usual box configuration. Then you have the insulation problem which would make a zone hard to fit out with insulation which is a must in cold climates. Get those problems sorted and yes I would like to live in one.

75k? Whaaaaat

it needs to look like a normal house or cottage and cost about $10,000 in my opinion. many will buy it then.

We don't have enough homes because of corrupt municipal officials. Not because of lack of innovation or housing methods. If we want to house people, we need to arrest the corrupt officials and put them up against the wall. Then people will be able to have food and housing again.

another reason capitalism is failing.
We live too big and we don't need to.
We need a moneyless society.
Most society problems go away when you take away the money

This tiny home is WAY too expensive.
12 foot Teepee built with 2x4s with some aerogel or similar insulation.
Flooring 1-foot above ground.
Build in a few days on-site, no delivery needed.
2x4s pressure treated, and additionally "sealed" on the bottom 4 feet or so which will be underground
Couple thousand dollars, tops.

$75k? Get the hell outta here! 🤣🤣

DIY Home that you can put together in weeks but pay on for the rest of your life. Niche.

"Massive housing shortage"? The US has more residential housing per person than any time in history, and has been building new houses faster than the population is growing. We have a massive mortgage bubble, not a housing shortage.

Top !

This is such a con. High-density living is the best way to solve a housing shortage, and is the best way for us to work towards a more economically and environmentally stable future. This "home" still relies on new car-based infrastructure being built, which inherently makes this the opposite of environmentally friendly. An apartment a few blocks from your job, generally, does not require new infrastructure and utilizes walkable streets and public transit. The design of this is just ridiculous, anyways. Buildings, even tiny homes, are rectangular for a reason. This looks like nothing more than a bay-area Airbnb gimmick.

There’s more empty houses in the US than there is homeless people

Sadly they are not in it to help poor people they are in it to make a quick buck

I made me laugh when every time they mentioned homes being built on site from scratch, they showed trusses being hung that were built of site in a factory somewhere.

If these houses are in a forest fire, the inside will heat up until the organic materials burst into flames.

modular homes is the future, move in with a 1 room pod, food/dinning pod, bathroom pod. if and when u find a lover add a bedroom pod or not, have 1, 2, 3 or more kids add a pods, kid moves out remove pod, add storage pods, workshops, green house pods with out food costs are going. but there priceing needs to come down a lot, which would with mass production

neat idea but kinda pricey. the real alternative is the yurt. cheap, build in a week.

If I build a half-sphere using a geodesic dome, can I use magnesium phosphate cement to cover it?

You lost me at 75 grand. Even 25k was the high end of what I was expecting, sheesh that's like robbery

BAKED ALIVE IN A TEARDROP!

While I like the idea of furthering the development of this type of housing, you could achieve a much better solution for creating affordable housing by constructing pre-fabricated apartment complexes like the ones seen in Russia during the 20th century. Suburban sprawl leads to a much greater environmental impact in the long run than current home construction and these "Zomes" really only seem viable for people who already own a plot of land. Additionally, USSR "Commie Blocks" were also a way to mass produce dense and affordable housing (made using materials like concrete) while also facilitating a great sense of community among it's residents than you would find in a sprawling suburban neighborhood. So while the concept for these "Zomes" seems like quite the novel idea, it ultimately disregards some of the greater issues that the United States is facing in regards to it's housing crisis and environmental building practices.

Don’t forget to include the heat fire resistant qualities of Starlight within the bricks!

They should be investing in developing houses underwater that's more future proof.

Sorry but no, rectangular houses just make more sense, and there are plenty of assembly line houses which have more conventional shapes.
