The dome homes can cost just $350,000. The domes are designed to resist extreme weather events, which displaced 3.3 million Americans last year. They are constructed from fire-proof materials and their shape allows them to withstand extreme wind, architects say. Johnson told the Times he expects to sell 40 dome homes by the end of the year, doubling his company's sales from 2022, the Times reports. The homes are often built out of fire-resistant materials like steel, and the dome shape provides resistance against extreme winds that standard square homes do not.
