Animation © C&R Enterprises
See the full-length animation of our 4-frequency geodesic dome construction project available on our CD-rom. (*** Animation sequence is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems, but not OS2 or Unix.) Watch our geodesic dome being built in virtual space. You will see our construction project taking place element by element - from foundation-footing to the last triangle being put in place. Stunning computer-generated 3D-renderings provide an informative slide show animation of our dome being built before your eyes. This 10-minute controllable graphic presentation will give you a better understanding of the building phases of a geodesic dome home construction project.

Poured concrete footer and foundation riser wall preparation.

Four foot foundation riser wall and cap is completed.

Triangle construction... one down... how many to go?

Assembly and erection of the 1st layer of walls and triangles.

Triangles, triangles, triangles! The geodesic dome shell starts to take shape.

Triangles are placed higher and higher using a temporary scaffolding structure.

Geodesic dome shell is almost done, and the extensions are yet to be built.

Windows (not yet installed) are aligned with the solar path to maximize year round lighting. East-facing view.

Exterior wood siding, 3-tab shingles, windows, and front porch deck completed. West-facing view.

North-westerly view. Windows, windows, everywhere!

West view.

Looking through the front view windows through the structure and out the solar path windows on the opposite side.
We are offering a 175+ page book on CD-ROM showing all of the steps we went through as we built one of the most photographed geodesic dome homes on the beautiful Oregon coast. This book will give you an unprecedented look at what is involved with the many aspects of building your own full-sized geodesic dome home. It is filled with beautiful color photos covering each step of our construction, helpful narrative, plus hints and tips to guide an owner/builder.

Geodesic dome homes are much stronger than conventional homes. When properly designed and built, these structures can withstand wind loads, snow loads, and seismic loads much higher than normal homes. Energy efficiency can make dome homes a Y2K compliant domicile. Spacious and wide open living areas give geodesic dome homes a unique and irresistible charm. Spend an hour in a dome and you will have a hard time living in a conventional home.
