Throwback: A stone covered dome mansion
|
|
Today we look back at the astounding Whiteacre Monolithic Dome home in College Station, Texas. The triple-dome structure is impressive, as is the backyard pool — complete with waterfalls. But the most striking feature of the house is the stonework. The main house, guest house, garage, walkways, and landscaping are stone-covered. We love it.

Learn how to frame out an extended augment in this pictorial how-to. Extended augments are a great way to make openings in Monolithic Dome Structures. They create natural eaves and finish out easily and beautifully. This blog entry aims to cover the fundamental techniques we use every day to frame and to finish out these openings. We hope this will help customers find sub-contractors to bid on and complete work for them as well as empower clients to do it themselves.

The potential of a curved opera house
|
|
The proposed Hanoi Opera House in Vietnam could be a curved architectural beauty. The design is a beautiful multi-dome structure that would be built out on West Lake in the city. The only drawback, it doesn’t appear to be a Monolithic Dome. Pity. It could be done using a special Airform membrane and the Monolithic Dome construction process — possibly saving millions in building costs. Just saying. Whatever happens, it looks like it may become an amazing addition to the city.
