We build Monolithic Domes and offer planning and design services for projects large and small, commercial and residential. We provide expert resources on dome design, construction, and performance while sharing the stories and experiences of dome builders, professionals and owners.

Monolithic Domes are thin-shell, insulated concrete structures used worldwide for homes, schools, safe rooms, gymnasiums, bulk storages, churches and more. They are constructed with polyurethane foam, steel rebar and concrete. Together, these materials create a disaster-resistant, energy-efficient and free-span structure. The cost of using these high-quality construction products is made affordable because of the dome shape’s efficient use of materials. A dome covers more area with fewer materials than any other comparable structure.

Monolithic Domes have withstood major earthquakes, powerful tornadoes, raging fires, direct hits by hurricanes, and fiery explosions. Dome owners report energy savings greater than 50 percent over conventional structures. Also, it is often less expensive to build a Monolithic Dome School or Safe Room than it is to use conventional methods.

There are many beautiful Monolithic Domes. However, after 50 years, we believe architects and designers are just now beginning to understand the massive potential of the Monolithic Dome construction method to create free-form, natural and/or jaw-dropping architecture. The only barrier to great design is imagination. There is rarely a vision for a new project that can’t benefit by the incorporation of a Monolithic Dome. There are no columns or interior supports allowing complete design freedom. There are domes as small as 8-feet to over 340-feet diameter with engineering for even larger structures.
