Colorado Dome House: An Architectural Wonder

[@micheleniedermeyer8805]

This is gracious soothing heavenly feeling to the inside of this home...watched this video 5 times...

[@alederhos]

You can't imagine how beautiful this house was.

[@jokingkauai]

Beautiful! From one dome builder to another: you go girl

[@cluebin8398]

It is interesting how dome homes look bigger on the inside than on the outside.

[@mrfoltz]

BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! One day I'd like to build a Monolithic Dome house like this! Fingers crossed... :)

[@Angelina0077]

Me too !! Beautiful is right.

[@alederhos]

It was beautiful. This was my family's home. we built it in 1978 and my parents live there for 39 years. It was heartbreaking when they moved out but it was time.

[@josephfelice601]

Such a great design, but why the Home Depot cheap front and back doors?

[@lindatreiber20]

just beautiful I want my next place to b a dome

[@ssue4q]

Growing up in Colorado rest of my family still lives there just not me but we always called it the spaceship house it seems like it's been there since the early 70s maybe the late 60s if I remember right you can see it from I-70 on the way to the mountains? Love getting to see it up close in the inside that's a first for me LOL with so many favorites it's hard to say with this home but love those huge porthole windows awesome home it's always been one of my favorites from the outside thanks for sharing

[@patrickeh696]

Nope, built during 80's at least ssue.

[@alederhos]

@@patrickeh696 we built our home in 1978. Ssue.....you are thinking of the clam dome going into the mountains, not this house. Our house is in Arvada.

[@patrickeh696]

@@alederhos Yes, NOT 60's or early 70's as the method did not exist then.

[@anitalederhos9269]

@@patrickeh696 Not true. My father found an article in a 1974 Denver Post edition about an architect who had built a dome up in Gold Hill. He contacted the architect shortly thereafter.

[@patrickeh696]

@@anitalederhos9269 Not ANY dome but a particular PATENTED method. The 74 dome was NOT a Monolithic Dome TM

[@CandlesLiteMyWay1]

That is a gorgeous property!

[@alederhos]

Thank you...it is truly unique and special. My family's home for 39 years.

Can you please link the music you used, please? It's beautiful and calming.

[@TariAkpodiete]

gorgeous place, ahead of its time. curious as to the square footage. and the total acreage is three acres? pity the kid who had to mow that lawn for his/her allowance! just kidding. no doubt all that land figured into the selling price. this is luxury, people! woah, vineyard?! for me, the library is a killer feature. i'm seeing in the comments that the selling price was $8.75 million. accurate info? in some cities like NYC, the uber rich can only get a skimpy apartment on 5th Ave for that.

[@alederhos]

It is 2500 sq ft on 3 acres and the selling price was $825,000.

[@MrPhife333]

Ohh... I want one!

[@frankursry1894]

Love the home. What is the name of music, please.

[@JanaEasley]

Hi Frank - I am not sure! The music is one from the KZbin selection.

[@MrBagley55]

Who chooses the background music for these little ditties? Sounds like the neighborhood cat fell asleep on the keyboard of someone's electric organ.

[@alederhos]

The listing agent had a lot of difficulty with the background music. It changed numerous times due to ASCAP threatening for fines. Simply watch the video ad appreciate the beauty of what was my family's home.

[@TariAkpodiete]

+alederhos > well, people do like to be paid for their work, including musicians and composers. odd that ASCAP so quickly twigged to the situation. someone probably reported. oh well. royalty-free music is definitely the way to go next time. saves so many problems/issues.

[@TariAkpodiete]

i kinda liked the music, actually.

[@JanaEasley]

Thank you - yes, some trouble, LOL

[@donaldjohnson3265]

Very nice, I love it.

Очень красивый дом. Жаль земли у меня маловато. Знать бы его диаметр и высоту.

[@dindolee8829]

In the Philippines, anything that is not fashionable or popular will be ignored and be a laughing stock. They're more concerned in fashion and entertainment and politics to be specific. Practical things like monolithic dome tech will not prosper though frequented by strong typhoons year round.

[@SHZ4201]

I think the Philippines would be the perfect place for one of these, especially due to the tropical weather and their low cost of cooling. I wouldn't care what others think. I would prefer to be off the main road, behind a gate, and unseen anyway.

[@dindolee8829]

data1025 indeed, but sad to say no one in this country like that stuff that is practical but not fashionable. They would prefer to support beauty pageants and concerts instead! That how idiots they are!

[@vazarraabe9068]

[@pejoly2]

I have realized, after many years of being married to a Filipino, many trips to the Philippines, and spending countless hours socializing with Filipinos that they are trapped by culture. I am always amazed that a population, pretty much as a whole, want to leave their country, but cling so tightly to beliefs that created the situation they are trying to get out of, so they are trapped by their culture, and even when they can get out, they bring their culture with them. Dindo, you say the practical will not prosper in the Philippines, which is to say, the Philippines will not prosper. Very sad because it is all due to their thinking.

[@andrearenee7845]

Heaven on earth...

[@EdHanulChung1]

Thanks! very nice.

[@Adrianovskov]

how much would this cost to build , no interiors or doors included, only the shell . considering this kind of structure for my home but i can not find a company that builds these in europe, would be great if i were to receive some help from you lovely peeps

[@JanaEasley]

I am not sure as to the current cost of construction - try monolithic.org

[@nobodymatters3294]

Ai domes search on Google should do you.

[@patrickeh696]

Adrian, EU lags in technology. I know there is a construction firm in Poland that built one. Check there.

[@patrickeh696]

WRONG Nobody. This is NOT an AI Dome.

[@patrickeh696]

Jana per square foot as a custom stick house

[@ghostbeetle2950]

I was very sorry to see you have gotten rid of the indoor pool. I'm not sure what the alterations all were but the overall effect seems to have been to reduce the appeal of the non-standard nature of the dome space in favor of something closer to a conventional home. That is somewhat disappointing.

[@SaavsKitchen]

I would love to purchase this dome.

[@feitoamaocom]

[@lorettatayor5840]

would have put an articulating arm on the wall where the "colorful" picture is by the fire to swing out so to watch t.v. from the fire pit area or the sofa. yah, the fridge is not next to the stove. I want a bidet and a japanese tub & or toilet. or both. bath needs an update.

Yes, it has been sold

[@jamiestewart2051]

Yeah great if you have stolen billions.

[@alederhos]

The house was much less expensive to build than "normal architecture" as the shape was created by a blown up balloon and then sprayed with polyuerethane foam and concrete. This was my family's home for 39 years. We built it and it was built in 1978 and is an iconic house in our area so please be respectful with your comments. The sale of this home was noting like ti would have been back east......but then you would never get 3 acres, a pond, a creek and vineyard and a 3 car garage with living space above back there. This house is unique and beautiful.

[@rickhalverson2014]

@alederhos - awesome! Thanks for the update. I LOVE this home.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@@alederhos 'the shape was created by a blown up balloon and then sprayed with polyuerethane foam and concrete' Sprayed? Is this easy to do?

[@alederhos]

@@ColtraneTaylor Easier then building a conventional wood frame home :)

[@nobodymatters3294]

Go go Google maps.

[@traciepangborn2020]

Nobody can afford one !!!

[@alederhos]

I don't know if any companies are making these anymore but they are more affordable than conventional architecture.

[@patrickeh696]

What ARE you insanely blathering on about Tracie? Monolithic domes cost the same ass other custom homes.

[@patrickeh696]

More and more companies each year alederhos.

[@jameswright6316]

HORRIBLE ! This is like trying to furnish a "Modern" house with "Victorian" furniture. Design the interior to the dome - or design the exterior to the furniture. Orthogonal with orthogonal. Victorian with victorian. Dome with dome. Modern [ or futuristic ] with futuristic. This is a horrible blend. High tech would be a much better choice. Another option would be "geologic" with the dome. For instance - quartz arm chair [ really cool in this space ! ] - ball chair - bubble chair - pythagoras chair - pallone chair - even a couch based on the shape of a stack of sandbags would be better ! Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
