Origin of Interest in Domes
- Morgan Bierschenk's interest in domes began with a transformative experience on a beach in Portugal, leading him to explore altered states of consciousness.
- He sought to create spaces that replicated the feeling of connection with nature, like stone circles, but financial constraints led him to restore a sailboat instead.
Geoship's Vision
- Geoship emerged from Bierschenk's research into physical structures and their impact on consciousness and connection with nature.
- The company aims to create homes that maximize efficiency, promote health benefits, and foster community.
Cabin Extension Costs
