Offers multiple functional uses that have been, formerly, only partly incorporated in conventional designs.
Generating of such services as heat exchange, water supply, plant growth and wastes processor, shielding the building from adverse outside influences such as ground heat radiation or grass fires.

An integrated buffering, filtering, processing, and ‘ambient-regulating-mechanism’ attachable to a single dwelling or a collection of buildings, suiting the topography of any given area; with a variety of configurations. These range from a linear sequence to an integrated geometric patterned system surrounding an edifice in accordance with the given shape of a building.

Can be established anywhere by means of
segmented compartments, refractive materials, climatically suitable terrestrial and aquatic (filtering) plants, as well as symbiotic animal species, for the upkeep and purification of the whole system.
The moat system cuts costs and makes possible fully functional buildings anywhere.
Air Flow Efficiency
Natural airflows and internal ambient temperature within a dome are optimised through strategically placed air vents at floor and ceiling level and regulated by means of ‘calibrated baffles' to efficiently control the flow. This augments comfort, reduction of energy wastage and dispensing with costly air conditioning systems.
Maximum efficiency is attained through scaled volume/size ratios relative to wall openings and building size.
The technique can reduce or replace the incorporation and use of windows when unsuitable and avoidable.
The Tremors Damping System
In seismically active areas of the world, tremors damping can be achieved through building design or a device which has been specifically design for the GlobeStar Dome.
- In seismically active areas of the world, tremors damping can be achieved through the use of a hydraulic damper.
