Insulate Yourself
Zome panels are made from eco-friendly material that doesn't burn or absorb moisture. It's a great insulator.
From The Noise: Thick, airtight panels absorb sound. You won't hear the outside world, and they won't hear you.
From The Weather: Zomes are super energy efficient, easy to heat and cool. You'll be snug as a bug in any climate, any season.
From Distraction: A Zome is a place to focus, create, get productive, and rest.

Structural Insulated Panels
Our "Sandwitch" construction removes the need for a timber frame, and creates a highly insulated, easy to assemble building.
Fire Resistant
up to 2200°F
Our panels are a neutral, bioavailable miracle material. They don't burn, absorb water, or moisture.
Having lived through West Coast fires for the last few years, we know from experience. Zomes are built to withstand the worst, offering precious peace of mind.
Got Questions?
When do I get my Zome?
We are currently booked out for three months. Your deposit secures your place in line. Once we're ready to produce your Zome we will contact you for payment and your Zome will be shipped within three weeks.
Do I need a permit?
If you build on a non permanent foundation, most jurisdictions allow for structures under a certain size without permits. Usually they count as storage sheds or auxiliary structures. We were able to setup Zomes in some of the strictest counties in the US without needing a permit. Download our Permitting Guide for more info.
Do I need a foundation?
You'll need a wooden deck, foundation, or a concrete slab to setup your Zome on.
If you don't have one, and don't want to hire someone to build it, your Zome comes with an optional Foundation Kit that can be assemble on any relatively flat patch of land.
Assembly Time?
Our Zomes were designed to be assembled with no heavy or specialized machinery, after you build your foundation it should take two to three people a weekend to put it together.
Can you wire it for electric or solar?
Yes! our Zomes come as plug and play, just connect power to the integrated electric system and you’ll have lights and electricity throughout.
Plumbing?
You'll need to run plumbing through the deck. We don't provide any.
HVAC?
Our Zomes come with an optional stand-alone AC unit.
Operable Window?
All eye-level windows are operated with a crank.
Flooring?
If you buy the foundation kit, your Zome will have a moisture-barrier-protected subfloor, ready for any kind of flooring you want to install.
Is it really Waterproof?
Yes. We initially wanted to make Geodesic domes, but it turns out they are notoriously leaky.We scratched our design and built our Zomes from the ground up to create a lapped connection between the panels. This, along with our air-tight seal, makes sure water stays where it should.Interestingly, there's nothing the Zome is made of that rain would ruin or rot. All material is inert and literally water proof. You could submerge it in water, and it wouldn't care.
Is this like a Yurt?
Yes and no. It's round. Gets assembled in two or three days on a non-permanent foundation.
But, unlike a yurt, it's weather and sound insulated, fireproof, and comes wired for electricity. Also, we think it looks cooler.
Having said that, we love yurts.
Can I paint the interior or exterior?
Yes. Our MgO interior comes ready to paint. No mudding or taping needed. You can paint the exterior as well if you choose but we don't recommend it.
Our sound treatment panels cannot be painted.
What kind of maintenance is needed?
Pretty much no maintenance is needed. Rodents and insects are not interested in ceramics or foam. Mold doesn't grow in the walls. Moisture has little to no impact. The shell is tough and doesn't settle or warp. No gutters to clean or roof to repair.
If for any reason you needed repairs or replacements on your Zome we would be happy to assist.
Can this function as a fire shelter?
No. Legally, we can't recommend you shelter in our Zomes during a fire. In case of a fire, you should evacuate immediately and follow local authorities’ recommendations.
What we can tell you is that we keep our photo albums and favorite stuffed animals in our Zome, and if we were stuck in a fire and couldn't evacuate, we would shelter there with our kids and pets.
Do you ship to my country?
Sure!
You would need to research your customs and clearing but we're happy to pack up your Zome and ship it, we'll give you a detailed shipping quote once you've made your order.
I want a full scale Zome house. Do you still do that?
We used to. But permitting process was too cumbersome.
Where is your Factory?
Cairo, Egypt!
Hurricanes / Tornados / High-wind-prone areas
We haven't had one go through a hurricane or tornado yet. It's hard to tell. But here's what we know:
- The SIP panels are 10 times more resistant to penetration from debris than standard wood-stick built construction
- The entire structure is bolted down, and the zonohedran shape and the lack of shear straight walls makes "lift off" much harder
- We've run finite element analysis simulation with over 120 MPH winds, and the structure withstands that. Zomes meet the highest modern building standards for earthquake, and extreme weather resistance.
- The Polycarbonate windows are 250 times stronger than glass in withstanding impact.
Prioritize Beauty
It's difficult to describe the profound impact that living in a beautiful space has on us. People who "live in the round" rarely go back.
