The Domes on Waiohuka in Ruakaka are the result of years of research into the concept of sustainable, low maintenance, energy efficient, low carbon impact buildings that are warm in winter, cool in summer, strong, durable, with a healthy and dry environment.
The Domes are attractive, amazingly spacious and light, sited to the North in an established environment that includes a conversation area featuring the latest desirable outdoor dining accessory, a full size Pizza oven!
Constructed with a polymerised reinforced cementious sandwich, the Domes cannot burn, cannot be damaged by floods, are earthquake proofed and can withstand winds of over 200kph. Apart from contents there's no real need to insure the buildings, a saving of around $2500 pa over a conventional house.
As for maintenance, a repaint every 10 years should do it.
