This Little 2V Two-Story Ten-Sided EconOdome Home
with 40 triangles on the hemispherical dome roof is
26 feet in diameter and has a maximum of 1,000 sq. ft. of Living Area.
We also make a Similiar & Slightly Larger 2V Dome Home Kit that is
30' in diameter and has a maximum of 1,400 sf of Living Area on two floors.



There is enough open space within the 30' dome roof for three bedrooms.

On Caribbean Islands and Midwest Plains
we fear high winds and heavy rains.
We want to be happy, well fed, and safe from harm.
So next to our productive organic farm
we build a little round charm,
Slightly larger than tiny and safer in storms...
A little dome home that eases our alarm.

Painted sheetrock most often is visible behind and between the exposed 2x4 trim.
It will cost extra to have solid wood exposed behind the trim as shown above.
The inside of the loft level dome ceiling may be finished with
all exposed wood or more economically with sheetrock.
See both standard and options pricing below.









TWO OPTIMUM DOME HOME SIZES:
Both the 26 ft. and the 30 ft. 2V EconOdomes have
40 framed triangles
made with 65 precision cut struts when fully assembled..
Little 2V EconOdome Frame Kits are made with fewer triangles
so that the triangles are big enough to contain operable skylights.
There is additional exposed "T-blocking" or custom cut skylight frames
within each large 2V EconOdome T-Beam triangular frame.
The additional framing within all large 2V triangles is necessary
for several reasons: Size, Weight, Storm Safety, and, Shipping.
The exposed precision cut 2x4 wood trim attached to the interior side
of framework creates a beautiful pattern on the dome ceiling.







If you wish to complete your dome home quickly and also
create a beautiful ceiling with lots of precision cut exposed wood:
We recommend you consider building with an
EconOdome T-Beam frame kit.
The T-Beams hold both the interior and exterior panels in place
with the help of "the force" of gravity.

A small five-sided dome cabin


This five sided cabin has an interior loft. The floor is built above treated telephone poles. Each of the five sides is 8 foot by 8 foot.


In order to build this building without a building permit in California,
this building needed to be portable (not built on a permanent foundation).
So, it was built above pre-cast piers and boulders.
After completion this building was put on skids so it could be moved.

A similar dome cabin was built with EconOdome Kits
over 20 years ago and now being utilized as a
unique AirBnB rental near the coast in California.

Mushroom Dome Cabin:
#1 in the World on airbnb located in Aptos, California

The Air BnB management folks liked this popular little dome so much
they built an 80% scale model in their San Francisco office.

This little dome cabin is located in Aptos, California
features a geodesic dome loft level sleeping area and a large deck within the trees,
you will feel like you are in an unique tree house.
Located in a quiet yet convenient woodsy location.
The perfect "check-in to check it out" destination for both
San Francisco Bay area residents and traveling future domies.
This little 13' diameter dome cabin has five sides that are each 8' x 8'.
There is a 4'x8' bathroom addition on one side.

Cost of a Basic 2x4 13' diameter 4V EconOdome frame kit is $7,000USD + shipping.
(as shown in photos with 160 triangles formed with 250 struts)
Cost of a Basic 2x4 13' diameter 2V EconOdome frame kit is $3,500usd + shipping.
(as shown in other photos with 40 triangles formed with 65 struts + T-blocking)


Vinyl faced insulation stapled over the interior side of the exterior panels,
before the exterior panels are installed,
creates a pillow effect on the finished interior.



This 14 foot diameter dome may be used as a hot tub cover.
The attractive frame may be screened, covered with plexiglass,
or overgrown with grape vines.
