No Rules Just Architecture

NRJA stands for No Rules Just Architecture, a title that could not be more fitting for this Latvian architecture firm. Their flashy designs have caught the eyes of prospective clients around the world but it was their newest development that caught the eye of one small seed.

Geometric domes have been around for years, except NRJA has found a way to make them portable and accessible. Their domes are designed specifically for remote locations and can withstand all types of weather. The dome is meant for adventurous people, if you fancy staying at five star hotels and living in mansions, this is not the place for you. The upper section of the dome is divided into two seemingly spacious bedrooms and the lower half is all open with the exception of the staircase running through the middle. Overall, the space looks rather homey if you don’t mind feeling like you’re living in a giant snow globe.

The design is not only edgy but also eco friendly. Four underground ducts contain the air supply and circulation. To keep you cool when it’s hot, the dome has a flap at the top that can be adjusted. And for those snowy winter nights, there is an all natural fireplace with a heating pipe to radiate warmth and comfort throughout the home. NRJA seems to have thought of everything when they dreamed this to life, but there is one costly downside to living in a dome: furniture. Hopefully NRJA has connections with some innovative interior designers because a house in the shape of a dome deserves some seriously creative equipment to match its eccentric vibe.
