7 Domes You Can Call Home Today

Beautiful dome homes are becoming increasingly popular among buyers for their unique sustainability, durability, and appearance. The shape of domes allows light, air, and energy to circulate freely, which enables natural cooling and heating capabilities, potentially saving you a lot of money in energy bills. Dome homes also typically only use about a quarter of the building materials used in comparable-sized rectangular homes, but they're as much as five times stronger, giving homeowners a much stronger bang for their buck.

And if you like open floor plans, then you'll love dome living. These structures often feature expansive, wide open floor plans that make them look and feel much bigger than their footprint. This type of floor plan also provides a world of design possibilities, allowing you to create virtually any room configuration and customization that you can imagine.
