Floor Plans by Series

Right now, Monolithic offers 18 different Series of floor plans. Each Series offers something special. For example, the Io Series features efficiency floor plans, while the Orion Series has straight walls and the Ganymede Series presents dream homes with double-domes.

Floor Plans by square footage

Choosing the wrong square footage can turn a dream home into a nightmare. So in addition to presenting our floor plans by number of bedrooms, we did a cataloging based on square footage. In this section, Monolithic’s floor plans fall into four categories defined by their square footage.

Monolithic Floor Plans

For your dream dome-home, our library includes floor plans in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. That size-range includes small, cozy cottages, as well as spacious and spectacular castle-like domains and everything in between. But while sizes and shapes may vary, the benefits of a Monolithic Dome home remain constant. In addition to long-range savings, our very green Monolithic Domes provide energy-efficiency, disaster protection and more. This website has tools and hundreds of articles related to dome design. In addition, our staff includes professionals with experience and expertise that can help you design the exact floor plan you want and need.

Residential Plan and Design

Want to read the suggestions and ideas of architects and designers who have successfully planned many Monolithic Dome homes? Want to see their designs? Or, are you more interested in what engineers have to say about Monolithic Dome homes? Do you have questions about the heating or air conditioning of a Monolithic Dome home? If you’re concerned about anything related to the planning and design of a Monolithic Dome home, you will probably find the answer you need in this section. Besides articles by experts and Monolithic Dome owners and/or administrators, it contains tools, such as Google’s “SketchUp,” for planning a dome, floor plans and photographs. And new information is frequently added.

Floor Plans by number of bedrooms

One of the first factors many home planners think about is how many bedrooms they need/want in their dream dome-home. We’ve simplified this process by organizing our designs based on the number of bedrooms each includes. That floor plan cataloging ranges from one bedroom to six bedroom and more.

Floor Plans: multi level dome home designs

Monolithic Dome homes can be designed and constructed with more than one level. This section displays those plans and includes number of bedrooms and square footage of each.

“Miranda” Series

The Miranda Series consists of floor plans that are 45 to 49 feet in diameter. Floor plan options include two-, three-, four-bedroom and multi-level designs.

“Rigel” Series

The Rigel Series of floor plans is also 50 to 59 feet in diameter. They are two-story cousins of the Callisto Series. These multi-level floor plans feature from one to six bedrooms.

“Io” Series

The Io Series of floor plans includes our small studio domes that range from 20 to 29 feet in diameter. These floor plans are designed as efficiency, one-bedroom and two-bedroom dwellings.

Can I build a second floor?

Yes, but carefully consider your options. In a Monolithic Dome a second floor will probably not save any money. A series of low-profile domes connected together and using only one floor can have the same floor area at a similar cost. A second floor may be appropriate because of the cost of land or the purpose of the building, or you may simply prefer a multi-story building.

“Ganymede” Series

The Ganymede Series is a collection of floor plans with double-domes, connected by a conventional hallway.

Considering a Second Floor?

A second floor can be designed in a Monolithic Dome home. But we suggest you consider some important factors when deciding whether or not to put in a second floor in your Monolithic Dome home.

“Hyperion” Series

The Hyperion Series consists of a triple-dome layout that features extending “saddles” between each of the domes. These saddles give the transition between domes a smooth, elongated look. Hyperion floor plans range from 1,600 to 4,000 sf and feature one-, two-, three-, four-, five-bedroom designs and a multi-level floor plan.
