ECODOME på NORDKRAFT, Aalborg
Lørdag den 3. sep. deltog ECODOME i samarbejde med DOME O ved Kulturnatten i Aalborg. Ved NORDKRAFT kunne interesserede prøve kræfter med at samle en flot dome, bygget af enkle materialer. Beklædt kan den bruges som f.eks. drivhus, eller i sort tjene som flot skulptur og legeredskab.
Dome O er Torben Wigger og Jørgen S. Mortensen, som gennem leg og gensidig inspiration har udviklet forskellige fascinationsværksteder. Børn og voksne fik mulighed for at bygge, lege og eksperimentere med sammensætning af polygoner til domer og bolde i forskellige størrelser, mønstre og anvendelse.
Gør-det-selv domer
Lige nu kan du købe en dansk byggevejledning eller et færdigt byggesæt til meget attraktive priser. Udføres på mål til priser fra 995 kr. + moms & levering.
ECODOME udvider med flere modeller
Siden 1999 har ECODOME fremstillet domer af høj kvalitet i træ. Grundet stor efterspørgsel har vi nu valgt at udvide sortimentet med bl.a. en 10 meter trædome på næsten 80 m². Domen kan forsynes med flere døre, og med en indvendig højde på næsten 5 meter er der rigelig plads til tropiske træer eller en ekstra etage.
Ikke alle har plads eller behov for en dome i fuld størrelse. Derfor har vi udviklet en helt ny serie af vægdomer som i stil med et vægdrivhus kan placeres op ad en eksisterende væg. Disse mindre domer er ideelle for hobbyfolk med begrænset plads og vil være perfekt til en sydvendt husgavl. På grund af domens unikke egenskaber, vil den være ideel som væksthus eller udestue til den lille have. Alle vores nye domer kan naturligvis leveres som færdigt byggesæt eller monteres af en vores dygtige montører. Kontakt os for yderligere oplysninger.
Ny landskabskunst i barokhave
Den østrigske kunstner Mathias Kessler har med installationen After Nature og en dome fra ECODOME, skabt et nyt stykke landskabskunst til Thurahs Barokhave på gl Holtegaard.
Placeret midt i havens historiske akse griber installationen ind i selve myten om uendeligheden, som er barokanlæggets essens. Frem for at understrege historien og kulturens betydning, som resten af haven, får planterne i domen lov til at leve deres eget, upåvirkede liv. Herinde er det naturens egne love, der gælder. Som andre, levende væsener kommunikerer planter med omverdenen gennem svage, elektroniske impulser. Ved at måle disse impulser med den nyeste computerteknologi sikrer kunstneren planternes pasning ved hjælp af en robot – og genskaber for en tid naturens oprindelige orden midt i barokkens kulturlandskab.
Projekt: Mathias Kessler og Wendelin Weingartner Ph.D. Særlig tak til George M. Gallant Jr., Inna Loebl og Karl Biewald, Prof. Henrik Balslev, Aarhus Universitet.
After Nature er støttet af Advokatfirmaet Erritzøe, Kunstrådets internationale billedkunstudvalg, Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur, Østrig, samt Den Østrigske ambassade i Danmark.
Inspirational design at the Education Show
Landscape architects regularly specify SOLARDOME® glasshouses into school ground regeneration, STEM activities or 'Learning Outside the Classroom' projects. The additional creative space helps achieve recognition for their commitment to outdoor learning, enables pupils to experience cross-curricular, creative and environmental projects and creates excitement and interest throughout the school.
Flutter over to our SOLARDOME® glasshouse at Butterfly World
Butterfly World in St Albans, Hertfordshire, re-opens on 8th April 2011 as Phase III of its development to become the biggest butterfly experience in the world.
Butterfly World is home to our 7.75m diameter SOLARDOME® Vega, an important part of the educational experience, which you'll find in the British Butterfly Garden. It's a unique opportunity to see one of our domes in a beautiful setting and imagine how you might recreate your very own Eden at school. (www.butterflyworldproject.com)
SOLARDOME® glasshouse is long-serving member of local community
Since 2005, a SOLARDOME® glasshouse has been at the root of a project which unites the local community in Bristol, as well as serving as an outdoor classroom at the City Academy. In addition to providing an 'outstanding curriculum which is broad, balanced and cohesive' (OFSTED 2009) for its 1,232 children aged between 11 and 18, the City Academy also plays a central role as a host centre for a range of community engagement initiatives.
Their 4.52m diameter SOLARDOME® Agena is home to the award winning Russell Town Avenue Community Allotment (RTACA) which uses the space to develop sustainable and organic gardening skills, as well as holding training and social events. The group enables local residents to share ideas about preparing and cooking produce, and to develop skills in landscaping and garden construction projects. They share a common goal: to work and learn together to produce fresh, tasty and healthy lower mileage food.
Huge quantities of marmalade and extraordinary moonlit nights. What more could you ask for?
Tregaron, mid-Wales, is located south of one of Europe's largest growing peat bogs – Cors Goch Glan Teifi – an important National Nature Reserve sheltering dozens of species of rare flora and fauna.
After considering a range of alternative structures, one of Tregaron's nature lovers, Carol Nixon, chose a SOLARDOME Sanctuary 7.75m diameter dome in which to re-create her own, unique, environment.
Nestled in a natural environment which is excessively damp and boggy, Carol's SOLARDOME glasshouse now provides a dry, Mediterranean oasis perfect for cultivating a range of tall trees and plants. From these, she has reaped a continuous harvest of apricots, avocados, peaches, oranges and lemons, which, in-turn have become a plentiful supply of Marmalade! Amongst strawberries, sweet pepper and bananas, a cucumber plant has also thrived, producing more than 100 cucumbers in the course of a season.
Uniquely, Carol has also installed a wood burner with chimney enabling her SOLARDOME glasshouse to be used not just a growing space, but a welcoming haven where friends can enjoy the moonlit nights from the warmth of the dome.
My SOLARDOME glasshouse has proved to be a world in itself. If the rest of the garden was abandoned, the SOLARDOME would provide gardening and leisure enough on its own.
The Second Generation Dome
"Our first dome gave my late husband and I so much pleasure over 24 years and was a real part of my home. When I moved house, another SOLARDOME® glasshouse was a top priority to complete my new garden."
As avid gardeners, Mr & Mrs Stacey chose a SOLARDOME® glasshouse as the perfect structure to grow a host of different plants and flowers as well as providing protection for delicate Citrus trees in the winter. It also became a local talking point when the couple entered ‘Godalming in Bloom’ competitions over many years.
When Mrs Stacey moved to a smaller property, her 24-year-old SOLARDOME® glasshouse was too large for her new garden, so she replaced it with a newer, more compact 4.52m ‘Haven’ dome. However, her previous SOLARDOME® glasshouse was still in such good condition that it was sold to a Scottish resident establishment and is now used as a Yoga retreat.
"After 24 years with our previous dome, I’m very happy with my new SOLARDOME® glasshouse Haven. Not only does it provide me with somewhere sunny and warm to sit, but creates the ultimate growing environment and protection for my plants."
