Abstract

A prefabricated house comprises a plurality of adjacent radial molded elements (10.sub.1 to 10.sub.18) which are assembled together to form a low dome. The house has a central support structure (12) in the form of a shaft erected on a floor slab (14) and each of the molded elements has an outer wall (42) formed by a sandwich of composite material and forming a part both of the roof and of the side wall of the house. The outer wall (42) is delimited by a top edge (44) for connection to the central support structure (12), a bottom edge (48) for connection to the floor slab (14), and two side edges (52, 54) for assembly to two corresponding side edges (56, 58) belonging to two adjacent elements.
