The global housing industry is a $10 trillion market1 and one of the least transformed by modern technology. In the United States alone, the consequences are stark. A 6.5 million home shortage2. Median home prices above $430,000. Nearly 75% of Americans priced out of ownership3. Housing today is not just expensive. It is fragile, inefficient, and increasingly misaligned with the realities of the world we live in.

Geoship is reimagining housing from the ground up through regenerative architecture. The company’s geodesic bioceramic dome homes are engineered from first principles, uniting geometric efficiency, advanced materials, and modern production techniques.

When produced at scale, the homes are designed to be installed six to nine times times faster than conventional housing and are projected to cost roughly half as much, the company says. The approach is designed to address five persistent failures in the housing system simultaneously: affordability, speed, durability, sustainability, and health.

The material science breakthrough that changes what a home can be

At the core of Geoship’s platform is bioceramic technology. These mineral composites were originally developed for medical implants and mimic the molecular structure of bone. When applied to housing, these natural yet highly durable materials can replace many traditional construction materials, reducing material use by 53% and on-site waste by up to 99%, while enabling structures engineered for a projected 500-year design life, lower lifetime maintenance, and exceptional resilience, thecompany says.

This material science breakthrough enables housing to be engineered, standardized, and scaled like a product without sacrificing quality or resilience, creating not only a better home but a fundamentally new housing category.

Geoship says its homes are designed to be:

Fire-resistant up to 1,382°F, protecting assets in wildfire-prone regions

Resilient to hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods, engineered for climate reality
