# Domed Energy Conserving Homes The Zome Alloy Abodes Utilize Solar Energy in Residential Spaces By M | Published 2016-06-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-conserving-home References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3060788/one-artists-quest-to-resurrect-steve-baers-solar-powered-zome-homes) & [suttonpr](http://suttonpr.com/assets/Art-Basel-l-Zome-Alloy-l-2016-l-E.pdf) Oscar Tuazon is the creative behind the Zome Alloy art installation designed for the Switzerland edition of Art Basel that focuses on bringing awareness around energy conserving home designs. The project contains a recreation of a [wooden dome shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfsufficient-bivouac) that takes inspiration from Steve Baer's [solar powered home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wanda) of the same shape and design as a way residential spaces could potentially be built in the future to be more ecologically sound. The abodes are constructed entirely out of wood without the addition of embellishments such as furniture, windows or walls. The simplistic frame focuses on emphasizing shape and structure using geometric and curved aesthetics to build much more energy efficent residences. If brought to market, the roofs could easily be fitted with solar panels to harness the sun's energy to power the space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Energy Efficient Homes:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing residential spaces that prioritize energy conservation. - **Sustainable Architecture:** Chance for disruptive innovation in creating eco-friendly building designs that minimize environmental impact. - **Solar Power Integration:** Potential for disruptive innovation in incorporating solar panels into residential rooftops for efficient energy generation. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the construction industry to develop new methods and materials for building energy-conserving homes. - **Architecture:** Chance for disruptive innovation in the architecture industry to design sustainable and eco-friendly residential spaces. - **Renewable Energy:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the renewable energy industry to integrate solar power into residential buildings effectively. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar Powered Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000.md) - [Wooden Surrounded Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omer-arbel.md) - [Nature-Inspired Geometric Office Domes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dzome.md) - [Origami-Style Shelled Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-bottom.md) - [Nature-Rooted Family Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg.md) - [Dome-Like Futuristic Desert Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hata-dome.md) - [Sustainable Cubic Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appels-architekten.md) - [Sustainable Solar-Powered Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wanda.md) - [All-Glass Mesmerizing Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaufort-bushland-retreat.md)
