Dome houses have been traditionally used in different parts of the world for many years.
The thatched domes of the city of Yazd in central Iran, as well as the houses of the Eskimos or igloos in the Arctic, are historical examples in this field.
In terms of engineering, these structures were first designed in the United States by engineer Barsfield in 1924 and have been used in various parts of the world ever since.
For many years, due to the special design and construction, these structures have been used mainly for study centers in the field of astronomy and structures related to military industry, but recently, the use of this type of structures for personal and commercial purposes for reasons such as resistance to against earthquakes and storms, etc., along with their apparent charms, has expanded.
But still one of the challenges of using them is the issue of time consuming completion on site, which has been addressed in the newly designed structures of Igloo Villa.
