Overview: Our company is transforming the construction industry with innovative solutions to critical environmental, social, and economic challenges. The building sector is responsible for 39% of global CO2 emissions, and our eco-friendly dome houses are designed to address these issues while creating positive impacts for real estate developers, rural communities, and the environment. By tackling housing affordability, environmental sustainability, and rural depopulation, we aim to pave the way for a greener future.

Problem: The construction industry generates significant waste that is nearly impossible to recycle, contributing heavily to environmental degradation. Simultaneously, millions of families endure unhealthy, expensive apartments in polluted cities, while rural areas face population ageing and economic decline. This dual challenge calls for sustainable and innovative solutions.

Solution: We design and construct dome houses using natural materials such as wood, hemp, clay, and limestone, with up to 70% of materials capable of being upcycled for future use. These prefabricated modules enable rapid, weather-resistant assembly, ensuring efficiency and resilience. Beyond housing, we foster sustainable communities by building single-family homes and rural community hubs to revitalise underpopulated areas. Our holistic approach ensures these homes are comfortable, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable.

Market Differentiation: We provide real estate developers with cost-effective, sustainable housing solutions that increase profitability per square meter. Key differentiators include:
- 70% material upcycling potential, reducing waste.
- A 50% extended building lifespan.
- Carbon-capturing, fireproof insulation.
- Dome architecture reduces material usage and heat loss by 33%.
- Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) modules that integrate structural, wall, and interior functions, enhancing construction speed and aesthetic appeal.

Business Model: We partner with real estate firms to provide design services, prefabricated kits, and consultancy. Our prefab modules are produced at local timber factories across Europe, ensuring scalability and sustainability. In the future, we plan to train architects and workers annually, enabling widespread adoption of our innovative construction methods.

Achievements:
We have developed three generations of dome house models and constructed two pilot projects. Our company secured funding from the prestigious New European Bauhaus (EIT Manufacturing) in 2023 and the Seeds of Bravery Consortium in 2024 and 2025. Currently, we are establishing strategic partnerships in the Nordics and DACH regions and negotiating the construction of a demo house in Northern Europe.

Impact Measurement: Our primary impact metric is building emissions Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Expert-validated studies show that our dome houses save 32 tons of CO2-equivalent emissions per 100m² built. We also assess our impact by the number of houses built, reduced construction time, and increased housing affordability.

Collaboration Opportunities: To maximise our impact, we seek partnerships with:
- Go-to-market experts for marketing, sales, and distribution.
- Financial institutions and investors for project funding.
- Sustainable material suppliers for high-quality resources.
- Construction firms specialising in green building techniques.
- Real estate developers to scale projects.
- Local governments for land and community-building support.
- Eco-villages and non-profit organisations to promote sustainable living solutions.

Conclusion: Our company is committed to redefining construction and revitalising communities. By integrating eco-friendly technologies, innovative designs, and a single holistic approach, we are driving change for a sustainable future. Through strategic partnerships, we aim to expand our impact and make sustainable living accessible to more communities worldwide.
