Cory and Mickey have a 3 dome cluster with many really nice touches starting in Gainseville. Lots of creative spaces for the kids and a dojo as well. These folks have really put the thought into this house. Lots of fun to work with on plans too!
The Louisiana coast is our second home these days. Cristal has had a dream dome for some time and now it's up.....10 feet up. Slidell is catching on! A great house that slows traffic on a daily basis for a look-see. Photos soon.
Bluewater Adventures in Pelham Al. is building a new scuba school in a 45' dome.Great view of the dive site and Wayne sure won't need a sign anymore! These are great folks and he serves one mean cup of coffee. Stop in and see the new place...completion winter 07.
Jerry's new office is finally out of the ground! This is the best example of a "green" structure that we've ever built. The engineering and environmental advantages are too numerous to list here, but this is a dome that takes advantage more dome advantages than any single structure we've ever done. It is the flagship of a network of similar offices to be placed in strategic locations to better serve his client base and what more inspiring place to work than in a dome! Not to mention the last building on this site was wiped out by a tornado. He's done his homework.
Well our Norwegian globetrotter Tammy T is finally in hers...A triple dome complex with one dome devoted entirely to her new Steinway. This dome was one of the most fun we've ever done with the best people we've ever worked with. Folks this gal can tickle some ivory and has a voice that keeps her in the spotlight . Hat's off to Jim Hudson and sons...great guys and great craftsmen.
Anna Tiedemen ...how to describe this lady? Smart, Professional, and loves her dome house! Determined to dress up a mountain top in W Va with the most incredible double 40 you've ever seen! She's doing a web page on the construction and I'll link it soon. The view from this house and the sun tracking over the apple orchard is truly breathtaking early in the mornings.
Gene Soult and his family set a new dry in record for an Oregon...On a full basement to boot!. His finished cost was half that of most homes because of the amount of work he did himself .His family was totally involved in the construction. Sorry to divulge your secrets Gene, but folks he built this house for $45.00 per sq. ft.!There is absolutely no way to calculate the amount of Gatorade we consumed on this one. Heat index during the 3 days we built the dome was 108. Gene ran laps around all of us!
Donna and Wesley have a beautiful mountain view from their 45 Timberline on a full basement.We had to move an incredible amount of rock to get to basement grade. Nice high ceilings. See thru cupola floor. The living room may form it's own atmosphere! A big wrap around deck .Wesley has really thought this one out. He's a craftsman.
Dale thought her improperly roofed,(we didn't do it!), hail damaged, leaking dome was a goner. But nope...Dan the man, Charlie, myself, and company cut the bad dome up into little pieces and put up a brand new one on the footprint. How many other homes can you do that to?
Last but not least ...Melissa and Rob have jumped through every hoop known to man and mortgage broker, to be building their two domes. We've added a new landmark to Watkins Glen. This was a lesson in tenacity folks! Melissa wore em down! Speaking of wore em down...Andy,Uncle Bob, and my best left hand man, Chuck really put on a demonstration of brotherly love on this one.The whole family showed up and we got em up in record time!
