This house was posted by Brian Hix a while back. I found the picture and I recognized the house. The house I saw a couple years ago, on TV. The house was made by blowing up this huge blimp, I think, and around it, they made a frame and then they deflated the blimp. The house is ovular and I remember those two fans there. Does anyone know more about this house, I want to find out what they did.

Yes, it's a concrete dome house. They make them by blowing up an inflatable balloon and coat it with concrete. When it dries, they remove the balloon and it can be removed. I went through a period of fascination with dome house and I guess I am still fascinated by them. One of the biggest companies that makes that type of dome house is the Monolithic Dome Co.

Their website is monolithic.com.
They have a giant caterpillar made out of domes along I-35E near Italy, Texas (between Waco and Dallas). Several bunches of their very small dome houses can be found on the parallel state Highway 77 nearby (and people actually live in them, despite their apparent tiny size).
