From a mutual friend I heard about Patrick and his Biodome idea and I became his first customer. My biodome is in Ängelsberg in Västmanland County (in the middle of Sweden) and this beautiful structure is a landmark in our region. As it is so different from anything else that it is an eyecatcher for visitors and it is easy to describe how to find the way here – drive ahead until you see the thing at the roadside that resembles an igloo!

I have a café -gallery at Våla (between the towns of  Västerås and Borlänge) and have been using the biodome for seating guests outdoors with three tables and 12 chairs.

Going into the biodome gives people a feeling of exhilaration and they feel that the triangles generate some kind of positive energy that is beneficial for body and soul.

I found the biodome after many hours of searching on the net for a greenhouse. Today I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and chili there and I even have winter lettuce. The large amount of space in the greenhouse meant that I had a tomato plant last season that grew to a height of fully 9 meters. The biodome is also a good place to let bulbs, herbs and plants shelter over the winter.

The greenhouse has a volume that feels just right and has some sort of a special resonance so I am very pleased with it

After meeting Patrick I learned about the Biodome. The place where it stands today was originally intended for a Chinese pavilion but that didn’t happen. Instead, Patrick built up the Biodome wooden frame without glass which is what we wanted. But gradually we realised that it is practical to have it enclosed in glass instead.

As a textile artist I receive many visitors that come to view my different exhibitions. I purchased a church here in the Härnösand area and we have placed the Biodome next to it. As it is 41 m2 in area I can have different exhibitions inside it and still use it at the same time as a greenhouse.

You get a special feeling when you sit inside the Biodome. It has a great effect on you- you feel good and get into a meditative mood. Many people who come in exclaim “ wow, so  that what it feels like!!”. They feel something special but can’t quite decide what it is. I have groups of musicians play inside and the sound is very special when it circulates inside the Biodome.

I am very happy with the results. It has turned out to be a much greater experience than I had imagined originally. Just imagine sitting inside with candlelight glowing in all the triangles. It is fantastic.
