To insure privacy the name of the owner and the location of this project
will not be revealed. The owner has a design background and was able to
develop the overall design concept.
I did the design development and
working drawings over a period of two years…130’ diameter, four floors,
parking garage, aviary, elevator, three story atrium, large kitchen,
classical columns, arches, etc…one of the largest and finest dome homes
in the world. This dome was part of a five dome project.
Exterior during construction.
Doesn't look it here, but this is huge.
Large enough for a full size basketball court and bleachers.
An acre of floor space.
Atrium during construction. Three
stories high and about
thirty feet in diameter. The classical column covers are not
yet in place.
