Dome Seastead Design

This dome seastead design is 250ft in diameter and will be constructed using a variation of Ultra High-Performance concrete (UHPC). It will include housing, amenities, communal office spaces, and markets for locally produced and imported goods. Through the incorporation of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), Sea Water Air Conditioning (SWAC), water desalination, solar energy, and aquaculture farming, these communities will provide energy, fresh water, and food, all inexpensively produced on and below the seastead.
