dome home

Spherical residential structure

A dome home is a residential structure with a rounded, hemispherical roof rather than conventional flat or peaked construction.

Dome homes gained popularity among alternative builders for their energy efficiency and structural strength: They built a geodesic dome home on their rural property.

The design distributes stress evenly, making dome homes resistant to high winds and heavy snow loads.
