Has a man-made structure ever effected you emotionally or spiritually?

It's something I've been thinking about since I discovered Second Empire plans nail what I would do, given a budget.

Being from/in California, I kinda like the concept of the geodesic or monolithic dome.

Benefits

The Monolithic Dome is a permanent structure which is energy efficient, cost effective, disaster resistant and attractive.

Monolithic Domes have real strength. They can withstand the force of a tornado, hurricane or earthquake. They cannot burn, rot or be eaten by bugs.

The Monolithic Dome is energy efficient. It will usually save fifty percent on heating and cooling costs compared to a comparable conventional building.

Are they made of wood?

No...

The Monolithic Dome is a super-insulated, steel reinforced concrete structure used for homes, schools, gymnasiums, bulk storage facilities, churches, offices, and many other uses.

It has a tower, I like that, but I'd need more wrought-iron spikes if I was going to spend that much money on a house.

Paul and Barbara Stitt residence in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. This 55-foot diameter, three-story home is Wisconsin's first Monolithic Dome home.

Now that is cool! It looks like a big gun turret.

"On a slightly foggy day, the house just about disappears, which is what we wanted." The Stitts achieved that effect by choosing just the right shade of blue paint for the outside of their Airform.
