Monolithic Dome Homes

Monolithic Domes have been built all over the world for a wide variety of uses ranging from gigantic mega-churches and bulk storages to tiny houses and safe rooms. They have been constructed as schools, performing arts and events centers, industrial complexes, community shelters, churches, apartments, business offices, and more. The Monolithic Dome’s free-span construction, energy efficiency, and disaster resistance make them the ideal structure for any private or public purpose.

Monolithic Dome Safe Rooms

Uses UPDATED 18 Nov 2020

A Monolithic Dome safe room is designed to withstand tornadoes, hurricanes, and other disasters. It meets the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA P-361) standards for “near-absolute protection” for sheltering-in-place. But a Monolithic Dome safe room is more than a building.

Uses UPDATED 1 Sep 2020

Storages are the most popular use of the Monolithic Dome. In fact, the number of storages are greater than all other uses — combined.

Monolithic Dome Schools

The Vanguard School in Colorado Springs
Uses UPDATED 10 Feb 2021

A Monolithic Dome school is unique. Distinct. Different. It challenges the community to ask, why? Why build something so alien? Why can’t it look like other structures? Why does it have to be round? Why would anyone want that? And why are so many schools choosing to build a Monolithic Dome? What makes this building process so compelling? … read more

Monolithic Dome Churches

Mile Hi Church Sanctuary
Uses UPDATED 1 Sep 2020

The famous domes of antiquity are structures of worship — the Pantheon in Rome, St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, to name a few. The vaulted, curved shape creates a tranquil, contemplative, respectful atmosphere. Where the domes of history took decades and even a century to complete, we can now build these remarkable structures quickly, affordably, and beautifully as Monolithic Domes. … read more

Monolithic Dome Homes

Eye of the Storm home
Uses UPDATED 10 Feb 2021

A Monolithic Dome home is more than concrete and steel. It’s a feeling. A feeling of warmth on a cold winter’s night. A feeling of serenity during a terrible storm.
