Monolithic Domes
#2
Now these I know a little bit about. The South family, who run this business, have over 30 years of experience with this style of domes; using airforms, polyurethane, and gunnite. In the 70's the family was building potato storage buildings in Idaho and I was doing small custom homes in California and then in Colorado. It's not something that fits into every neighborhood but they are fun to build and to live in. It's possibly the most functional design, meaning efficient, for extreme weather. The entire building shell arrives in 55 gallon drums and bags and can go up in a matter of a few days with the use of a couple of big machines to spray the foam and the gunnite. And it's mostly inside work since you are in an airform.
