#dome architecture

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Here’s a dome home built like a ranch style house in Otterville, Missouri. $348,421 - unusual price, like they figured it out to the dollar.

The previous owners.

Built in 2016, it has those standard dated oak kitchen cabinets, but the walls are interesting. White, but that can be fixed. As soon as you walk in, you see the details.

Like the cave-like entrance.

It’s kind of cavernous, isn’t it? I would have to put some stalactites up in one of the rooms. 

The cabinets are sturdy, so I would just paint them and change the counters.

Built-in shelving plus a closet in the dining area.

The house has 5 bds. that look like this, with the curved walls. 

It also has 2 baths.

Plus, it’s on 6.07 acres of land.

gear station

funny story: while trying to figure out certain elements (mostly the style of the pillars + the window panels), i searched up references of grand central and (old) penn station as the listed design bases for gear station, and oh gods it's beautiful look at the arches the vaults the light shining through the huge windows the scale -

needless to say, i got verrrry sidetracked. the architecture brainrot is real. (i almost want to write up a design analysis of gear station and the inspiration it takes from the aforementioned two IRL stations, but i'm still a novice and so any analysis would probably be very surface-level stuff.)

I was fascinated by this dome home, b/c it looks like someone doesn't know what a dome is, and made a ball. It also has a belvedere, which is usually on a Victorian roof. But, the 1984 Montauk, NY home is surprisingly nice inside. It has 3bds, 2.5ba, and they're asking $2.1M, reduced by $490K.

The large entrance hall fits a baby grand piano with room to spare.

It's an interesting home and like a giant piece of art. Notice the planter on the right is set into a square hole in the floor.

Look at the ceiling. It reminds me of some sort of DaVinci contraption. And, look at the angled wall held up by a column. It's really a work of art. The belvedere looks like the bottom of a hot air balloon.

This is quite nice- speakers on the ceiling aimed at the sofa and two big windows.

The French stove is gorgeous and I would move the table and chair over to make it a focal point.

Surprisingly, the kitchen is huge. Look at the size of it. So many cabinets. The drawback is that it's so spread out, but the actual work triangle is contained in a nook.

Here's Bd. #1- look at the floor. That's a lovely nautical touch.

In Bd. #2 there's another inlaid pattern, but the bed is over it.

Nice shower room.

Bd. #3 seems to be the primary bedroom b/c it has direct access to the bath.

This is unique.

I'm not sure, but this might be the ladder to the belvedere. It folds and fits neatly into the wall like an attic ladder.

Here we are in the belvedere, a roomy observatory with benches and a table for entertaining or a cozy family space. But, wouldn't it make a great art studio?

I'm surprised that the home has a basement. Look at all the paintings, the owner must be an artist.

Outside there's a nice deck with a built-in bench.

The exterior needs some work- replacement shingles and landscaping.

The price is high, b/c this is Montauk, Long Island in NY (in the posh Hamptons). It's near the Montauk Lighthouse and that must be a community pool. It's on the shores of Lake Montauk, but it flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

Montauk is located at the tip of Long Island.

9,583 sq ft lot.

′° Step into the Future: Michael Jantzen's 1981 Modular Steel Dome Housing

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This is a 2005 double monolithic dome in Hancock, WI. It has 4bds, 2ba, 3,275 sq ft, $660K.

The open floor plan has a nice living room, and the 3 sided glass fireplace is lovely.

The kitchen is built on a platform, which is unusual.

This is very nice and could use a little color to really make it pop.

From above you can see the stone tile of the living room and the two-toned wood of the kitchen platform.

A hallway going to the rear of the home.

This is interesting. The main floor principal bedroom has unusual architecture with spiral stairs to a loft above.

The walls are textured plaster. That wedge in the ceiling is unique.

A door to a sun room is also featured.

The loft is cute.

There's a clothes closet up here and it could be something else, but the ceiling goes a little low on one side.

There's a large shower in the primary bath.

Alongside the stairs is a small area where they have a home office.

This is the 2nd bd. It's quite large and I don't know what that is on the right, but it looks like it could be a newel post for stairs.

The 3rd bd. The bedrooms are good sizes, but odd shapes. I like the floor in here.

The 2nd bath has a soaker tub and a shower, but it also has that rough textured wall.

This bedroom is nice and also has access to an en-suite. It looks like there are 3 baths, not 2.

This is another bath. I like the cabinets in this one.

Another home office, but it could also be a bedroom.

Plus, there's a large laundry room.

The sun room.

And, also a patio with a pergola.

There's a large garage/barn that has a sign that says "eggs."

And, here are the chickens, so there's an egg selling business.

Apparently, that squarish thing with water is a pond.

It's a very large piece of property-20.09 acres.
