The Next-Gen GeoHome

What a GeoHome kit includes, what it is designed for, and what sits outside the kit.

GeoHome is a one-of-a-kind prefabricated geodesic living structure designed for year-round comfort, durability, and adaptable use. Each unit uses precision-engineered and fully insulated panels to create a weatherproof shell that can be finished for a range of residential, recreational, rental, hospitality, or workspace applications.

What's Included

GeoHome kits include the core components required to assemble the main enclosed structure, along with the documentation and resources needed to support the build process.

Each Kit Includes

  • Pre-assembled GeoHome panels
  • Structural connection components and hardware
  • Window modules, entryway door, and flooring panels
  • Assembly guidance and build resources

All components are engineered to fit together as a unified system. Assembly is required and may be completed by the owner, with help from friends, hired labour, or a contractor.

This geodesic dome home planning guide covers a variety of practical topics. For a complete list of components, features, and available upgrades, refer to the GeoHome catalogue, quote documents, or the GeoHome main page.

Designed Uses

GeoHomes are designed as compact living spaces first and foremost, with performance centred around comfort, durability, and adaptability. When properly planned and finished, they can be used for:

  • Guest accommodations or backyard living space
  • Home offices, studios, or creative workspaces
  • Short-term rentals or hospitality stays
  • Recreational properties or remote retreats
  • Semi-off-grid or off-grid projects
  • Small business, wellness, or tourism applications

Most projects are shaped by the customer’s site, local requirements, utilities, and interior layout goals. A GeoHome may be planned as a simple open space, or finished with features such as a bathroom, kitchenette, storage, mechanical systems, or connected vestibule. They are engineered as adaptable structures that can be configured for a wide range of climates and use cases, provided the foundation, utilities, finishes, and comfort systems are planned appropriately.

The Project Scope

In addition to the GeoHome kit, projects require additional materials, services, and coordination to complete the full living-space setup.

Items not included:

  • Foundation and site preparation
  • Electrical, plumbing, or utility connections
  • Heating, cooling, or mechanical systems
  • Interior finishes, fixtures, and appliances
  • Bathroom, kitchenette, or built-in cabinetry
  • Decks, stairs, pathways, or exterior landscaping
  • Permits, engineering, or local approval costs
  • Labour or installation services

These elements vary by project and are often determined by your location, intended use, municipal requirements, utility needs, and desired level of interior finish.
