Forgotten Coast Double-Dome Home
White stucco and blue-trimmed arched windows give the double-dome its Santorini look on Alligator Point, Florida.
The Forgotten Coast Double-Dome Home is a new Monolithic Dome house in Alligator Point, Florida. The Santorini, Grecian-inspired house has beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico from its many blue-trimmed windows. The home has two floors, a main level with two bedroom suites and the great room, and a second level with a large open loft.
The double domes are both 38 feet (11.6 m) in diameter and 20 feet (6 m) tall and are joined by a saddle connector. The first floor has 1900 square feet (176 m2). The loft has an additional 1100 square feet (102 m2). The main level has two bedrooms, a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, and a guest bedroom and bathroom. The large loft is ideal for the family’s grandkids.
When the owners were preparing to retire, they knew they wanted to find land near water and in a warm climate. Ultimately, they decided on a building site on the Forgotten Coast of Florida. They knew they wanted their new home to be energy efficient and able to withstand the hurricanes Florida has become famous for. Their new Monolithic Dome home has risen to both of those challenges, recently riding out the edges of Hurricanes Helene and Isaias.
Mike South, President of Monolithic, visited the retirees in 2026. He interviewed the husband, who also gave him a tour of their new house.
