Giant ‘Snowglobe’ Dome System Is Shortlisted For Business Innovation Award

Southampton-based Solardome Industries has been shortlisted for the Business Innovation Award 2014 following the design and build of a new dome to enclose a three-story Nature house in Norway.

The contemporary Eden Project-style system called the ‘SOLARDOME® PRO’ allows large bespoke domes to be constructed up to 25m diameter. Solardome developed this new flexible architectural dome system in response to a customer in Norway that wanted to build a sustainable three-story family home and garden inside a unique and robust dome shell. The international patent pending SOLARDOME® PRO system, designed and manufactured in the UK, needed to withstand the high winds and extreme snowfall in this Northern Arctic location. Completed in the winter of 2013, the 15m diameter, 900m3 dome consists of a robust aluminum frame and toughened single glazed panels.

As the dome buildings can be clad in a variety of materials, their potential applications are vast spanning: green housing, tropical spa complexes for boutique hotels, additional covered visitor facilities through to large open plan performances spaces or skylights.

Pippa Bailey, Managing Director at Solardome Industries, comments: “The SOLARDOME® PRO system was only possible due to the innovation and dedication of the Solardome team, and we are very proud to be an award finalist.”

Solardome is an area finalist for the ‘Business Innovation of the Year’ award in the Federation of Small Business (FSB) Worldpay UK Business Awards 2014. The National winner will be announced in May by leading business woman, Karren Brady CBE. http://www.fsb.org.uk/uk-business-awards
