Fairview Valley Monolithic Dome Home
Seen from the main road, Fairview Valley Home has three bedrooms and two and a half baths, with 2,550 square feet of living space.
Fairview Valley Dome is a Monolithic Dome home located in Fairview, North Carolina, just outside of the city of Asheville. The mountain views of Fairview Valley remind the family of the mountains in Romania, their country of origin. The home sits on a hill, near a creek, with a panoramic view of the Valley.
The family chose a personalized combination of the Hyperion and Triton-style domes for their three-dome home. The center dome is 36 feet in diameter (11 m) and 18 feet tall (5.5 m). It is flanked on each side by two 34-foot-diameter (10 m) domes, each 15-feet tall (4.5 m). The center dome is the living area and kitchen. The left dome has two bedrooms, a jack-and-jill bathroom, a half bath and laundry. The primary bedroom encompasses most of the right dome.
The home features radiant in-floor heating. Additionally, all of the doors and windows will be inset, rather than augmented, to respect the smooth exterior profiles of the domes.
The three-dome home consists of one 36′×18′ dome in the center and two 34′ × 16′ domes.
