Much like we now …
Much like we now have mobile homes these can now turn into mobile domes of the dome would be set but the tennants could remove their modules quickly.Leaving clean interior ready for the next group or setup. Remodel in a day?. Site built homes cost plenty they need all the professionals to provide service on time this takes all that out the equasion wiring plumbing could all be done centrally.Want radiant heating no problem just use light weight materials in the floor or simply add mix on site.
You might want to …
You might want to build a wider door to accomoddate preconstructed modules to speed construction of your larger dome projects. Even if you just make a removeable jam that would allow for this maybe even a hospitol bed you never know your future you could have so many opportunities lost if your door way is too small. Hand truck bath room/kitchen modules fork lifted from small flatbeds completely built elsewhere making the dome process centrally controlled to reduce price improve quality.

Build the dome 1or2 leave spikes for bales to impale bamboo or iron then place straw bale on the outside this would insulate greatly require a little more concrete footing or brick to accommodate any design but baling a dome could break up the shape maintain strength, provide a platform ideal for solar gain, solar oven,deeper windows,allow pipes to be placed where normally would look unwise, or simply make it look like a castle all possibilities.Please kick this on around Go Straw concrete dome.

TRRthemetal, He is right. They are using expanded polystyrene beads (EPS). Styrofoam is a brand name. It is like when you use the frisbee to refer to a flying disc toy or use the word kleenex to refer to facial tissues.

Can I safely ume you are actually using expanded polystyrene beads? And I wonder of Dow Chemical Company knows you are using their brand name.
Good concept. But …
Good concept. But Styrofoam is a brand name, not a specific product. You should have told the actual type of foam that was used in the mix.
I have been saying …
I have been saying this would be a great way to insulate glad to see it put into action using cast off material. Another mix can be used with newspaper and a fire retardant to coat the interior then seal with plaster and chicken wire, this will more than make the structure affordable and well insulated. It would satisfy the most finicky of people too. Please use fiber optics to lite the structure. Place a solar oven on the south side of the home. Use solar air heaters to provide radiant heating
