Kalamazoo Dome Monolithic Dome Roundup Newsletter

Got my latest email newsletter and this dome is truly “Wild!” :smiley:

I’m going out to the garden and naming it the “Garlic Dome.” :smiley:


Each one of those domes is elevated on a “pedestal.” The feature that caught my eye was the “ribs” on the dome’s roofs. That would turn the rough-looking exterior of the average dome into an eye catcher.

I haven’t grasped the visual of the levels, but there seems to be three landings on the spiral staircase that greets one at the lowest level.

The story asks, "What did you love about the home? What did you hate about it?”

The “roof” of the dome looks amazing. I thought at first it was some sort of standing seam metal roof but looking at an enlarged picture it just appears to be battens of some sort applied to the roof membrane and colored the same. Great visual effect whatever they are.
