— December 17, 2015 — Art & Design
Russian architectural brand Skydome has put together a line of cabin designs dubbed the Skydome Cabins that creatively feature a portable dome aesthetic allowing consumers to bring a livable abode to any wilderness location. The home provides energy efficiency, heat retention and a luxurious design that can withstand a slew of natural disasters.

The Skydome Cabins are a hybrid between sturdy architectural feats and a modern structure to give residence a homey yet protective place to spend time out in nature. The cabin features a unique spherical shape that ensures heat is better incubated inside as well as providing durability in case of earthquakes. The cabin can be set up in virtually any landscape and offers an unconventional and pleasant place to stay.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Living - There is an opportunity to disrupt the traditional construction industry by offering more portable and sustainable options for people with a love for nature and simplicity.
2. Energy Efficiency - The focus on creating cabins that are energy efficient and can withstand natural disasters presents an opportunity for innovation in developing sustainable and resilient architecture.
3. Luxury Wilderness Getaways - The demand for unique, luxurious and unconventional vacation experiences in natural settings presents an opportunity for businesses to create similar dome-like structures that blend comfort, nature and sustainability.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - This presents an opportunity for architects and designers to experiment with more sustainable and portable options, using innovative materials and technologies that are better suited to nature-friendly living.
2. Tourism and Hospitality - Tour and accommodation providers can leverage the growing interest in unique, off-the-grid experiences by offering dome-like cabins and other sustainable living options in remote natural locations.
3. Energy and Heating - Development of more efficient and sustainable heating technologies, such as solar and geothermal energy, will be necessary to sustain such living arrangements and present itself as an industry focused on innovation, sustainability, and resilience.
