A North Carolina company is building durable, hurricane-resistant circular homes across the U.S. These structures, designed with aerodynamics in mind, help deflect strong winds and have proven highly resilient during extreme weather events. Made from composite materials like fiberglass, these homes are also highly energy-efficient and customizable.

Their unique design not only minimizes damage but also reduces insurance premiums for homeowners. The company aims to expand this sustainable, disaster-resistant housing model to more regions prone to hurricanes and severe storms.

Coupled with a conical roof, it means there is no surface where the wind can gain enough purchase to push the structure down.
