\"\"<\/p>\n

The young couple decided not to buy an apartment, but to build their own house.<\/p>\n

In search of original project, they traveled to many places and finally settled on a round house.<\/p>\n

The house is a stratodesic sphere. Young people decided to apply to a construction company,<\/p>\n

as they had neither experience nor skills in the field of construction and architecture.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the construction, they dug a pit, where they poured the foundation,<\/p>\n

which consisted of crushed stone and sand, then they tamped it all and poured it with concrete.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before making the floor, they put a layer of insulation. A very rare type of insulation was chosen,<\/p>\n

it is a mixture of seaweed and coconut fiber, which is environmentally friendly. Another plus of such a heater is that it does not ignite,
\nbut smolders. The stratodesic sphere consists of twelve wooden beams, which are specially made in a concave form and are assembled on site instead of walls.<\/p>\n

Outside, the Walls were overlaid with wooden rectangles in three layers, which were made of larch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It turned out both environmentally friendly and beautiful. And most importantly, larch is a very durable wood and becomes stronger over the years.<\/p>\n

From the inside, the couple decided not to paint or glue wallpaper, but to leave the look of natural wood.<\/p>\n

They just treated it with a special material that soaked in and made the walls waterproof.<\/p>\n

It was decided not to zone the space in the house much.<\/p>\n

They made a spacious living room adjacent to the kitchen, and on the second floor made two bedrooms.<\/p>\n

The house also has a boiler room and two bathrooms. A wooden spiral staircase leads to the second floor under the dome.<\/p>\n

A metal cap was installed on the top of the dome, so that in winter there was no snow, and during the rains the water flowed down.<\/p>\n

The couple were very pleased with the house.<\/p>\n
