for the investor...
The Gnome Dome is a 'micro home'. It was built as a response to a need for one-person accomodation in an urban backyard environment but could easily be placed in any location with access to electricity.
It has all the conveniences of a motel room - microwave, fridge, hot water kettle, heat, lots of light and a waterless toilet.

The Competition that gave birth to the Gnome Dome
The rules were simple. Create a microhome (no more than 100 sq ft) that has space to sleep for two, will keep you warm in winter, has a toilet, washing facilities and a place to keep food cool. When I saw the entry form I simply knew "I could not, not do this". So I built the Microdome.
