DOME HOMES
GEODESIC DOMES - AN ADVANCED HOUSING TECHNOLOGY
Housing technology has changed very little since framing replaced the log cabin. Modifications have been made to improve efficiency and strength, but they have also increased cost. We applied some American ingenuity to the geodesic dome home, designed a unique component home building system utilizing advanced home construction technology, and developed a superior modular home plan
Dome Homes are purchased as a shell kit. Purchasers without prior construction experience can build their own dome, or we can refer you to an independent subcontractor who can assemble the dome shell using local laborers. The simplified building process of manufactured Dome home consists of placing a row of panels, overlapping and interlocking the steel mesh from adjacent panels, and filling the seams with a specially formulated concrete.
The dome shape has an inherent strength that exceeds all other home designs, as proven by noted architect Buckminster Fuller. Reinforced concrete dome home shells are virtually indestructible, able to withstand enormous wind and snow loads, and fully capable of supporting earth berming.
High vaulted ceilings are a natural for domes. The strength of the dome is sufficient to suspend the second floor, completely eliminating the need for load bearing walls and allowing for large open floor areas. Floor plan designs become much more interesting and practical when you break away from square rooms. Single domes range from 500 to over 5,000 square feet. You can also link domes together, or add a garage or screen dome.
Your dome shell kit can contain standard entryways, high profile entryways, garage entryways, first floor or second floor window dormers, skylights, or a cupola. A patio or screen dome will add a new dimension to your home. A second floor entryway can also function as a balcony, which provides a romantic seating area or extra personal space. Our domes are well suited for mountain homes, retirement homes, beach houses, coastal homes, and vacation homes.
The Cunningham home, named Atalaya del Vulcan features a Mission Revival style of architecture
Dome of a Home is owned by Mark and Valerie Sigler in Pensacola Beach, Florida.
