The Double Domes – http://www.thedoubledomes.com/
The domes were originally designed by Dennis Odin Johnson in 1975 for a couple of doctors with 4 children and built with a 2 story basketball half-court and rec room. This dome is available and ideal for vacations, family reunions, and corporate retreats. Sarah and Peter own and rent this 6 bedroom/5 bath double geodesic dome home sitting on a 2-acre lot. The house itself is an absolute gem -truly a once in a lifetime home that the famous architect – Buckminster Fuller, himself – has actually been in before. The Double Domes’ 7,787 square foot interior can comfortably accommodate almost any number, making it the perfect location for those special events. Each dome is a 44’/13.5 diameter mid-profile dome.
