Green Moon Lodge is a masterpiece made by a woman named Katrin. It’s actually a stylish dome home in a tropical garden close to beaches, waterfalls and the jungle of Costa Rica. The Vienna, Austria-born Katrin visited Costa Rica many times, however two years ago, back in 2017 she decided she would move there.
“I love the laid back life here and connecting to nature every day,” Katrin shared on her personal website. “The rivers and waterfalls, beaches, jungle, going fishing and eating fresh fruits. A little while ago I decided to build a dome house. But not just a regular dome… I wanted it to be something extraordinary, unique, and stunning. Something that takes your breath away.”
And that is how the project Green Moon Lodge was born.
“We made all blocks for the domes ourselves, using a special ‘aircrete’ mix of concrete and foam from dish washing detergent, and handcrafted molds,” she added. “I bought the town’s whole stock of dish washing detergent to make the foam and inject it into the concrete mix.”
According to Katrin, getting the foam density right was the trickiest part, however, eventually, they made 1200 blocks for the construction.
