A new Monolithic Dome now stands on the school grounds where a tornado came tearing through 23 years ago. Catoosa, Oklahoma, a suburb of Tulsa, was the site of a F4 storm in 1993 that killed seven people and injured many more. Thanks to a new Monolithic Dome, people at the school can now feel safe from another such storm.
Today’s video takes you inside Bruco—our manufacturing plant where we build every Monolithic Dome Airform and other fabric architecture projects.
One of the most exciting parts of our work is designing and inflating complex shapes and connectors with Airforms. These flexible, inflatable molds allow us to push the boundaries of architecture—opening up almost limitless possibilities in building design. Recently, we’ve had a blast bringing some truly creative projects to life.
Rick Crandall, a pioneer of the Monolithic Dome industry, has designed hundreds of domes worldwide. Blending art and architecture, his work ranges from post-disaster housing in Indonesia to innovative schools and homes, all driven by a deep commitment to beauty, sustainability, and purposeful design.
Drs. Tom and Maureen Anderson built Living Word Bible Church with three Monolithic Domes 30 years ago, turning a bold vision into a thriving, 15,000-member community. Their faith and innovation made it an iconic landmark in Mesa, Arizona.
Our crew arrived in Florida on December 5, 2024 to start construction on a new three bedroom Monolithic Dome home. This photo journal has images of each step of the construction.
Monolithic has teamed up with Duro-Last Roofing to create a new method for renovating Monolithic Domes. ReCover by Monolithic replaces deteriorating or damaged roofing membranes and restores your investment. When the River Bend Ag domes needed renovation, they received beautiful results with a ReCover by Monolithic facelift.
Last year, we were asked to help build some forms for a precast culvert system. We were excited to be part of that project, but you have higher pressure requirements in a precast system. These higher requirements forced the question, how much pressure can these forms take?
While no single solution can solve every problem, incorporating Monolithic Domes into disaster mitigation plans—whether as homes, schools, municipal buildings or community shelters—can save lives and provide a foundation for quicker recovery.
Monolithic superintendent Javier Figueroa took some great photos during the construction of a ring-beam footing and the attachment and inflation stages of a 55-foot hoop-style Monolithic Dome in South Carolina. Check out this quick photo journal.
This photo journal depicts the construction of the dome shell for a house we recently completed in Vermont. It is an insider’s tour of the steps to construct a Monolithic Dome home. This home is a two-story dome with a 43-foot diameter. It sits on a 10-foot stemwall and is 25 feet tall in total.
