NATURE-STAY SYSTEMS

Three scales. Three different relationships with the landscape.

CRYSTAL, TREE and REED are not the same product with a different skin. Each direction has its own scale, support logic and design boundary.

Not one cabin. The full atmosphere of a small forest village.

A Crystal Dome complex can be planned as a tree-home system: several capsules, a central deck, safe walkways, lighting, a retreat zone and different functions.

PrivacyEach capsule has its own view, entrance and quiet zone.
Shared experienceThe central deck works as a lounge, breakfast, dinner or mini-event space.

ARCH LAB · TREE VILLAGE MICROPLAN

Pods are arranged around views, privacy and service logic

A small village works when the guest experience and invisible infrastructure are designed together — from panorama orientation to maintenance access.

ARCH LAB Tree Village microplan with five Crystal Dome pods, privacy axes, guest loop, shared core and service spine
CONCEPT · Not a site plan or construction document. Distances, fire access, path widths, supports, protection zones and permitting route are defined for the specific site.
01
View and privacy axes

Panoramas face away from common paths and neighbouring pods; final spacing is set for the site.

02
Guest circulation loop

Entrances, paths, lighting, accessibility and emergency egress form one legible route.

03
Shared core

A deck or lounge becomes the social node without taking over the private view field.

04
Service spine

Power, water, wastewater and maintenance access are grouped before pod positions are frozen.

05
Terrain and trees

Topography, root zones, drainage, supports and loads are verified on site.

Discuss a Tree Village site

An experience guests remember

A glamping capsule must work not only as a place to sleep, but as an emotional object – evening light, nature panorama, cosy interior and a clear premium mood.

  • Panoramic views and strong visual identity
  • Small footprint, high perceived value
  • Can be used as bedroom, lounge, WC/shower or holiday capsule
  • Insulation, ventilation and electrical solutions by chosen specification
  • Suits homesteads, eco-retreats, lake projects and forest resorts

ARCH LAB · SINGLE CAPSULE ORIENTATION

Fix the view first. Then the entrance and infrastructure.

The Crystal Dome experience is shaped by more than the capsule. Its orientation brings panorama, privacy, guest movement, servicing and local climate into one coherent decision.

ARCH LAB Crystal Dome orientation field showing panorama, privacy, guest path, service side and climate check
CONCEPT · An orientation principle, not a site plan or construction document.
01
Panorama direction

Turn the transparent zone toward the strongest view after checking sun, shade and overheating risk.

02
Privacy buffer

Use the entrance and neighbouring-capsule side as a visual filter so the panorama remains calm.

03
Guest approach

Plan the path and door without cutting across the primary view, with a clear route from the shared path.

04
Service side

Group power, water, wastewater and maintenance on a less visible but easily accessible side.

05
Climate check

Verify the final direction against local sun, prevailing wind, precipitation, trees and terrain.

From capsule to Tree Village system

Standard base with optional add-ons lets you build a solution by site, budget, season and business model.

GEODOMAS Crystal Pod technical product sheet
Technical, legal and structural details are refined for the specific project, loads, climate and local requirements.

Crystal Dome can grow from a base capsule to a full Tree Village solution.

The base capsule is the start. By project you can add raised legs, stairs, decks, walkways, furniture sets, WC/shower module, water and sewage system and solar power.

Clear specification logic: we first show the base POD from €6,500 + VAT, then package full resort / Tree Village systems as separate modules by site, height, function and permits.
01 Supports and elevationBase four-leg system or 2.2 m painted metal structure for Crystal Dome elevation.
02 Stairs and walkwaysSpiral stairs, straight stair structure, suspended walkway and links between capsules by project.
03 DecksSuspended or raised deck structure, central Tree Village platform, lounge zone, lighting and safety rails.
04 Furniture packagesFurniture sets for bedroom, lounge or WC/shower capsules in 7 m² format.
05 Water and sewageFor WC/shower capsule you can plan water supply from lake, river or pond, filters and certified biological sewage treatment.
06 Solar powerUp to 5 kW solar package by project. Tree fixings are checked structurally and legally.

Crystal Dome – a small module that quickly creates resort identity.

This model is especially strong where you need not a large building but a striking retreat product: photogenic capsules, clear guest experience and modular growth from one pod to a full Tree Village complex.

Who is Crystal Dome best for?

This model is for projects where fast impact, compact investment, nature experience and phased expansion matter most. It is not a large house – it is a premium micro-retreat capsule.

Best result: when the capsule is planned with deck, walkway, lighting, view and clear guest experience. Then 7 m² feels like a full retreat product.

Common questions before enquiring

These answers help you quickly understand what is in the base package, what is agreed separately and why Tree Village projects need site analysis.

Is €6,500 + VAT the full project price?

No. That is the indicative price for the base Crystal Dome capsule on legs. Transport, installation, foundations, taller legs, deck, walkways, furniture, WC/shower, water, sewage, solar power and project engineering are calculated separately.

Is the capsule suitable for all seasons?

Crystal Dome uses multi-layer thermal membrane, dual air-chamber logic, ventilation and optional heating / cooling solutions. Final all-season performance depends on specification, climate and project site.

Can you build a WC and shower capsule?

Yes, WC/shower capsule is planned as an add-on module. Water supply, biological sewage treatment, filters and local permits are checked for the specific project.

Can capsules be raised among trees?

A Tree Village scenario can be planned, but supports, walkways, decks, tree fixings, wind loads and safety must be checked structurally for the site.

How long does production take?

Base capsule production is typically 5–6 weeks. For larger complexes, custom add-ons and engineering systems the timeline is agreed separately.

Let's plan your Crystal Dome direction.

Tell us about the plot, forest, lake, planned number of capsules and function. We will prepare a preliminary direction: model, specification, visual scenario and technical review questions.

Short project enquiry

Fill in the minimum – we will shape the extra technical questions.

2 min.

The clearer the site details, the more precisely we can prepare specification and technical review direction.

For a first reply, site, capsule count and planned scenario are enough. If you have plot photos or a plan – send them later by email or WhatsApp.

After your enquiry we will prepare clear direction: capsule logic, specification level, technical review questions and the next commercial step.
