Domeshells 9.5m Dome Home at Ocean Shores
Contrast the Dome Joined with a Conventional Structure
A 9.5m dome attached to a conventional skillion-roofed structure, making an interesting contrast between the two very different architectural styles and two very different structural systems. The conventional part of the house is a timber-framed rectangular building with a skillion roof. This part of the structure appears to attach seamlessly to the 9.5 m dome.
The dome was fabricated first, and then the timber-framed part was erected to a 10 mm clearance from the shell walls. A waterproof flexible joint was created at the junction of the dome and the rectangular building around the walls and roof using a sheet rubber system.
What is in The Dome
The dome consists of 3 bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a laundry, with a generous hallway serving all rooms. Some, but not all, of the partition walls reach the roof/ceiling of the dome, which still allows the feeling of the expansive ceiling. The other walls only travel about 2.4m high.
The rectangular part of the building houses a kitchen and living area with a timber deck off the north-facing side.
