NO.45 CASE— 6M Transparent Aurora Glass Igloo Dome in Canada
When it comes to chasing the Northern Lights, few places on earth can rival Yellowknife, Canada — one of the world’s top aurora-viewing destinations. To give travelers the ultimate stargazing and aurora experience, RAXDOME designed and supplied two 6-meter transparent glass domes that perfectly blend comfort, technology, and breathtaking scenery.
Design Concept: Built for the Northern Sky
The client envisioned a structure that would allow guests to experience the magic of the aurora borealis from the warmth of a cozy interior.
RAXDOME’s 6m full-glass dome was the ideal solution — combining panoramic visibility, insulation, and modern architectural beauty.
The dome features:
360° unobstructed views with fully transparent tempered glass panels.
Double-layer insulated glass (5+9A+5mm) that provides exceptional thermal performance — keeping interiors comfortable even at –40°C in the Arctic Circle.
Strong aluminum alloy framework, engineered to withstand snow, wind, and temperature extremes common in northern Canada.
Its aerodynamic triangle structure and reinforced aluminum alloy frame provide outstanding resistance to both wind and snow load — a must for year-round operation in the subarctic climate.
A Scenic Landmark by Day and Night
During the day, the transparent dome reflects the surrounding snowy landscape like a crystal jewel; at night, it becomes a glowing capsule beneath the aurora sky.
It’s not just a guest room — it’s an architectural statement and a landmark attraction, drawing travelers from around the world for photography, relaxation, and unforgettable glamping experiences.
Easy Installation and Modular Design
The 6m dome adopts a modular pre-fabricated design, making on-site assembly efficient and reliable — even in remote northern regions.
Installation can be completed within aa weeks by a small crew with basic equipment. All components, including frames, glass panels, sealants, are provided by RAXDOME for a seamless build.
✨ A dome that lets you sleep under the Northern Lights — warm, clear, and unforgettable.
