that is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
I have a friend that lives in a geodesic dome house and he loves it to no end. The struggle to purchase it, however, was nearly a year in fighting and extremely frustrating for him. Because these houses are so unusual and unique in appearance (read: "fugly"), it seems that no banks or companies will provide a loan for one because any attempt to re-sell is difficult. He searched endlessly until someone finally gave in, but attached some rider to the agreement that complicated matters if he ever could not make payments, had to sell, etc.
And while almost all geodesic domes have a really great wind rating, its never the wind that gets you, its pieces of your neighbors' houses and trees flying through the air that get you. The concrete shelter would sure be a good defense against that stuff, though, and probably very energy efficient.
