What is EKODOME?
EKODOME is a geodesic dome frame design that allows you to create multipurpose structures easily, affordably, and sustainably!
Our innovative aluminum frame design works in full integrity with embedded sealing components to make it easier for everyone to build geodesic domes.
You’ll have the flexibility to cover your dome with any solid material of various thicknesses between 4mm and 10mm. Do you prefer a membrane cover or a wired mesh? It’s still an option.
Simply cut your triangular panels according to our templates and install them on your frames. Pre-cut panels will also be offered soon.
Endless Design Possibilities
A greenhouse to grow your own produce or multipurpose use for your backyard goals. A cabin for your own nature retreat or pods to start your glamping business. A chicken coop for your homestead or a pop-up shop for your small business. Affordable housing units or disaster relief shelters. Choices are endless. You can build separate units and connect them with tunnels to create bigger structures.
A DIY DOME KIT FOR EVERYONE
We want everyone to afford a geodesic dome frame with a relatively higher weight-to-strength ratio, covered with solid panels. That’s why we designed a do-it-yourself type of geodesic dome kit. It will be an all hands-on DIY experience for a weekend but an ultimate geodesic dome experience for a lifetime. For us, for all!
Lightweight, and sturdy.

HIGH STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO
Aluminum is one of the lightest engineering metals, having the strength to weight ratio superior to steel. Our frame strength comes from not only precision-cut durable aluminum profiles but also from the solid panels you can easily mount. We designed the struts to hold panel thicknesses between 4mm and 10mm.
Weatherproof Integrated Seal
A rubber seal with superior resistance to heat, water, ozone, UV, and weather conditions will be provided both on struts and the caps in the frame kit.
Seeking for additional protection?
We’ve got you covered by leaving enough room on the struts, so that you can apply silicone or similar sealants if for any reason you want to double the waterproofness capacity.
Our Mission Statement
We aim to contribute worldwide efforts in creating habitats of the future, based on sustainability principles. Either on Mother Earth, or on Mars, or on any other place where humans land and live.
We design for maximum user experience, we manufacture with respect to our planet, and we invest in people and continuous R&D.
