CHRIS BROWN – Managing Director

Chris Brown: CEO and Managing Director

Chris’s involvement in the building industry spans more than 30 years, from his early days in South Africa among his “family of builders”, to his present day business based in the Shire of Byron Bay (Billinudgel) on the beautiful North Coast of New South Wales.

His interest in building innovation originates from helping Zulus build “Rondavels” in South Africa as a child. This exotic grounding combined with Chris’s many years of diverse construction experience and particular interest in composites and shell structures lead him down the path of continuing development of Domeshells unique building system.

The Vision

The vision behind developing Domeshells building system was to develop a building system that is simple, uses a minimum of materials, is energy efficient, strong and resilient, could be adapted to utilize substantially local material content by people all around the world.

Domeshells Building System

Domeshells building system is capable of being applied or adapted to engineered architectural structures, housing and shelter solutions that offer incredible resilience and protection. It is further adaptable to variations in the system and the use of alternative material solutions. T

At the most basic level, the fabrication system can be applied by hand  making it suitable for DIY, developing country or emergency shelter applications. Affordable spray equipment turns GRC fabrication into a very efficient operation for multiple unit projects.

Mission

Domeshells mission is to facilitate global uptake of its building system through provision of design/construct services, training, DIY Manuals and Kits and through collaboration with others including co-operative development of hybrid and exotic systems for building shell structures.

Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC)

Domeshells is an expert in the design and manufacture of GRC architectural and landscape elements and provides services from prototyping to design and manufacture of a wide range of GRC shell elements – landscape, architectural, public art and sculpture.
