The Heliodome, designed by Eric Vassar, is a unique passive ecological house in Alsace, France. It operates entirely on solar energy, combining innovative design with sustainable construction. The house's architecture, inspired by the sun's trajectories, offers ecological benefits such as natural heating and cooling. Vassar collaborated with specialists to bring his vision to life, emphasizing a low-tech approach. The Heliodome exemplifies bioclimatic engineering, providing over 70% of its energy needs passively, and highlights the importance of simplicity and harmony with nature.
