The home totals 850 square feet and has a family room, dining area, full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms spread out among the 3 domes.

"This unique home features three interconnected monolithic concrete dome structures, which provides unparalleled durability and energy efficiency," reads the home's description.

"It is designed to reduce its carbon footprint, decrease water consumption, and minimize life cycle costs through sustainable design principles and passive construction techniques," the description goes on to say. "I had been interested in sustainable architecture for a while so when I found out about it I just kind of jumped on it," BYU student Christian Schimmelbusch said.

"There were countless opportunities for every student on the team to be involved in a really meaningful way," Schimmelbusch said. "We definitely couldn't have done it without people, lots of different students and professors stepping in and going above and beyond.""I think it's a great opportunity for people to consider alternative construction methods and also to kind of give us some feedback," he said.
