Living In A Geodesic Dome Home

Kevin Shea lives in a wood-frame geodesic dome in Long Island, New York. Forty-four-feet-tall, 70-feet in diameter, it is equipped with a solar array, a wind turbine, a geothermal system and adorned with reclaimed material--from a garden made of 800 tires to an artificial lake made from crushed fiber optic cables.
