Last time I heard, this home is for sale. It is unfinished and located near MDI. You can learn more about it on the monolithic web site.

In 2006 we visited the Monolithic Dome Institute in Italy, Texas
(http://monolithic.com)
The staff there were very friendly and happily gave us a tour of the property. We also were able to video some of the monolithic dome homes nearby.

  • how much and how long does it take to make

  • the economy has put a lot of buildings on hold. No buyers, no more money to finish building for resale. If there's no one sale it to then why put more money into it to only take more of lost. Looks like a nice building but the value is falling.

    Has it been finished since this video??

  • they wont leak if you just pre frame the windows with pressure treated and brace from the inside plus you need somting for window install your dome should be not just a bubble but a molded home

  • id love to buy that, for a creative person it just screams blank canvas!

  • So am I. I think I have exhausted all the sites. There aren't many.

  • waterproof is no problem if you do the windows when you do the dome and if you put it up another ft in elevation its better off

  • will this stop 350 mile an hour winds? is there rebar in the walls? where's the plans for this? monolithic dome institute...why are the walls so open?

  • Go to their website they have workshops you can attend where they will teach you what you will need to know to build. There is a list of contractors too that will build for you. I would not like to invest in all the equipment and then have to sell it just to build one home. My issue is getting a loan my credit is good but the bank needs an example in the area to appraise to be able to lend the money they would lend me the money to buy/build a trailer stick built house but not for the dome.

  • has anyone solved the waterproofness and insulating problem with these domes used as homes?
