ABOUT US
We are a small but growing dome company located in the heart of the South-east U. S. with almost 30 years experience in research, designing, planning and building domes. We have devised a unique dome structure that combines the ease of assembly of the standard hub and strut type dome with the added strength of a stressed skin type dome. This gives you a very strong and easy to assemble dome kit that will give you safety, pleasure and savings for years to come. We believe that domes should be affordable and strong, just as Bucky Fuller intended when he made the geodesic dome design available to the world in the 1950's.
With the cost of housing, energy and utilities rates going up almost on a daily basis, each of us needs to do everything we can to take control of our own futures. This is the main reason for our commitment to keeping prices as low as possible and still produce very high quality dome kits to help you offset some of the costs of living, We will always publish our prices on the web site to help our customers to budget their homes to suit their needs. We will try to provide all the information we can about our domes, and geodesic domes in general. One of our goals with our web site and our business is to educate.
Domes fascinate me, and have for over 30 years. I was an engineering student in college, when I was first introduced to the geodesic dome. There was not enough about domes in our course work to satisfy my curiosity, so I started what has become a lifetime of research and learning. I have built many different types of domes and other structures in the last twenty-something years.
In that length of time I have seen many dome companies come and go. A lot of them had very good domes to offer, but the prices were way out of line. Domes should save people money, not cost so much that you can't afford them. This is why we urge people to visit other dome sites from the links on our web site to see what is available and to compare prices before making such an important decision. We don't spend unnecessary money on fancy printed catalogues and brochures, magazine ads, classified ads, flyers and mass mailings. We are a totally electronic company, a modern E-business. We had much rather provide better quality in our kits than sell paper products. We sincerely hope that you will consider us to help you make your dome home a reality.

"I guess I almost eat, sleep and live
domes. I understand the angles and geometry of a dome, and I like it. I
get personal satisfaction in seeing one of our domes 'in the air'. I
just like the geometry of the struts connecting into patterns, and the
aesthetics of a dome, the beauty and spaciousness. Many times at the end
of a day of construction, I will sit inside the incomplete dome and just
look. I get a feeling of serenity while there that I don't find in any
other structure"

"A dome just says something to me, whether
I am outside looking at the shape, but more importantly when I am inside
a dome. The size of the dome does not matter, small or large, it has the
same effect on me. It brings a sense of calm, and order. I can look at a
floor plan of a dome, and then walk through it in my mind, as it will be
when finished. When I dream of a dome, I dream in color and light, space
and texture. "
