#dome house

I like this flying saucer house- doesn't it look like it's hovering? I think it's needs to be painted silver, and the door hinges changed so that it opens like a hatch. It was built in 2002 in Somonauk, IL, has 4bds, 5ba, asking $474,900.

Fire lifters, it's taking off.

And, from the top, it looks like a giant intergalactic boob.

It looks bigger inside. There's a very open, spacious living room with a mezzanine.

They have the living room seating facing the small deck.

At first I thought, "Who's this guy?" and then I realized it's a drop down screen.

The dining area is also very big.

Note how the floor angles up.

The kitchen is huge. You can put a table and chairs and in here.

Stairs to the 2nd level.

I would call this area a flex space. It could be a family room or game room.

Now, this hole here, must serve some purpose, like if you have to get downstairs real fast or your want Scotty to beam you up.

The bedrooms are all basically this shape, and have their own en-suites.

The en-suites are spacious, but not particularly attractive.

I think that the nicest feature is the ceiling.

There's also a large garage/barn on the property.

The lot is 5 acres.

Odd dome-house in Saugus, CA. Photos from a real estate listing. Had a brief fantasy about buying this.

Have we talked about the fact that Eddie now has a black and photograph of half dome above his bed??

Because that is a choice - to have a rock formation notoriously difficult to climb hanging above you - as you sleep or have sex with your girlfriend. And to show it to us for the first time in a conversation that sets off Eddies catholic guilt?!

The implication that there is this massive thing - this massive part of you lying dormant but still looming over you and waiting to be climbed - to be summited. That even though the path is a difficult one the view from the top will so be worth it?!

Yeah. I’m feeling a certain way about it thanks!!

When I was younger there was this field me and my friends used to play in. There was this creepy empty house right next to it, and every time I looked at it I swore I could see someone through the window. Eventually my family and I moved away from that neighborhood but returned years later. We ended up moving into that (now renovated) creepy house. Now I just stare through my window out at the field and wonder if the children can see me.

How about a house that looks like a flying saucer landed in the desert? This 1984 home in Apache Junction, Arizona is for sale for $795K. 

It has a very roomy open concept layout. I’m not sure if the draped cloth is decor or something else.

The kitchen is large, but tucked into the part of the building that curves downward.

One of 2 baths and the home also has 3 bds. that aren’t pictured. What they do show, however, is how it was built.

I could be wrong, but it LOOKS like they used an inflatable form, attached to a cement ring, to shape the building.

Then they sprayed the fabric.

And, peeled it off when it hardened. Voila!  

And, then they carved out the details. It’s like a giant sculpture.

Don't forget there is also a video that shows you the entirety of this very unique location!!

And finally in today's post we will be taking a look at the second floor, the outbuildings as well as a few close-up photos of this unique location!

In this week's post we will be exploring a geodesic dome house that has been sitting abandoned for about 10 years.

The first geodesic dome was designed after World War I by Walter Bauersfield who was the chief engineer at Carl Zeiss Jena, to build a planetarium.  But in 1946 Richard Buckminster Fuller coined the term "geodesic".  Using triangular shapes it is an extremely strong, light and efficient way of enclosing space.

Geodesic domes have mostly been created for specialised uses such as the 21 Distant Early Warning Line domes built in Canada in 1956.  While most of those domes are now gone or destroyed the design can still be seen today in more well known places such as Spaceship Earth at Epcot built in 1982, Science World in Vancouver built for Expo '86, The Climatron greenhouse at Missouri Botanical Gardens built in 1960 or even the Montreal Biosphere built for Expo '67.

Dome homes have been less successful than their commercial counterparts mostly because of their complexity and greater construction costs.  In 1986, a patent for a dome construction technique involving polystyrene triangles laminated to reinforced concrete on the outside, and wallboard on the inside was awarded to American Ingenuity of Rockledge, Florida.  This technique allowed homes to be prefabricated and assembled from a kit purchased by a homeowner.  It appears as though this particular dome used a similar technique.

Although using geodesic domes for houses never really took off, they seem to have had a bit of a resurgence in popularity when it comes to vacation homes in areas of great natural beauty.  These structures are built more like tents and often have large swathes of windows for extraordinary views of the surrounding landscapes.
