Milikom Lifepod Sustainable Homes are geodesic domes designed to reflect natures harmonic frequencies. These amazing structures incorporate circles or geometric shapes in various ways which work perfectly to tackle the needs of the home owner with the demands of nature. Each type of dwelling carries its own unique quality to ensure it’s practical, efficient and effective to sustain life. Further qualities of strength, lightness, thermal comfort and all important ability to blend in with the natural environment are further benefits of this wonderful shape.

There are fundamental aspects in the creation and living relationships with these lifepods which will make them an integral player in todays home building market.

* ECO SMART DESIGN: Every effort in the design and construction of the materials selected for the ‘Lifepods’ is carried out with the intention to utilize sustainable products that are both rewarding for the planet and home owner.

*D.I.Y. CONSTRUCTION: With the exception of Power and Water utilities connection we attempt to put the reward and self satisfaction of constructing the dwelling back into the hands of the home owner. We believe this is an integral part of the self empowerment these structures can give back to the community.

*AFFORDABLE LIVING: With modular design and ease of construction, these geodesic dwellings can retail at 20 to 25% of traditional housing.

*FULLY DEMOUNTABLE: The Lifepod is simple and easy to construct, it also dismantles with the same efficiency making it an ideal structure for emergency services, remote work sites and environmental refugees. The practical benefits of the Lifepod also serve to assist many indigenous communities who require simple, efficient and culturally appropriate housing.

*CLIMATE CONTROLLED: It is an essential element of sustainable development and energy efficiency within any home or work structure that the dwelling be climate controlled. This allows for greater benefits in thermal comfort, energy saving, pollution reduction and cost efficiency.

*WEATHER PROOF: One of the many great advantages of geodesic domes is their ability to allow high velocity winds to swirl around the structure and pass over the external structure. This is due to the curvature of the dwelling, providing less resistance to wind. Many traditional houses today have flat walls which often meet wind force head on, putting unnecessary strain on the integrity of the dwelling.

Insulation up to 10 cm in thickness within the paneling of the dome is also at the home buyers choice. Further protection from the sun and rain is provided with either a High U.V Canvas or PVC skirt designed to add greater weather proofing protection as well as increased airflow for thermal comfort.

*ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Without internal corners, we naturally improve the efficiency of lighting, cooling and heating. As air flow takes the path of least resistance, a dome home allows for a natural uninterrupted movement of air and greater thermal efficiency. The energy efficiency of the geodesic dome makes them a wonderful candidate for connecting to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power which can bring your Lifepod to a whole new level of energy efficiency in our global movement towards carbon neutral living.
