After a series of compliments and “where did you get those?” we knew that there was enough of a demand to get started. And so here we are. With Tetris Tiles you can create your own talking point.
Your own patterns. Your own feel good environment.

Meet your newest friend, Barry. And as much as Barry wishes he was James Bond, he’s not. He’s just a regular guy on a mission to give business owners like himself a one-stop solution to build more successful online businesses.

Easy to build, lightweight, and multifunctional, the dome house has long been the domicile of choice in science fictional futures, but rarely seen here on Earth. Dubbed the “habitat for the 21st century,” the Dome House is an igloo-shaped structure built from snap-together wall sections made of 100% expanded polystyrene foam (styrofoam). It might seem like an odd choice of material for a house, but the company lists a number of advantages that styrofoam has over traditional materials. Unlike wood and metal structures, for example, the styrofoam Dome House does not rust, rot or attract termites. It is also highly resistant to earthquakes and typhoons. In addition, the walls, which are treated with a flame retardant, emit no toxic fumes in a fire.
