Yes, it is possible to incorporate natural air filtration systems such as indoor plants into dome house designs. Indoor plants have the ability to purify the air by removing toxins and producing oxygen through photosynthesis. Here are a few ways you can incorporate them into dome houses:
1. Vertical gardens: Install vertical gardens on the interior walls of the dome house. These gardens can be designed to hang from the walls, allowing plants to grow vertically. This helps maximize space and increases the number of plants for air filtration.
2. Atrium or central garden: Design a central open space within the dome house, like an atrium, where a garden can be established. This not only provides a beautiful and calming space, but also supports air purification throughout the entire dome. The plants can be placed on different levels or in hanging planters to utilize the vertical space efficiently.
3. Living walls: Create living walls by installing planters or pockets on the internal walls of the dome house. These walls can be designed to cover large areas, using a variety of plants to enhance air quality and provide an aesthetically pleasing environment.
4. Indoor planters: Incorporate large indoor planters throughout the dome house, strategically placing them in different rooms and areas. Choose a variety of plants known for their air purifying qualities, such as snake plants, peace lilies, spider plants, or pothos.
5. Greenhouse attachment: Consider adding a greenhouse attachment to the dome house where you can grow a wide range of plants for air filtration. This dedicated space allows you to optimize the environment for indoor plants, creating a more efficient air purification system.
When considering the incorporation of indoor plants, it's important to choose species that thrive in the specific indoor environment, considering factors like natural light availability and temperature. Additionally, regular maintenance and care for the plants will be necessary to ensure their health and the effectiveness of the air filtration system.
