Monolithic has many stock floor plans available to use as is or to change around. We decided to create a ranch dome (if that is a thing). It will be all one floor and very open with multi use areas. It isn't one single dome but instead 4 interconnected overlapping domes. The result is an aerial floor plan that looks like none other than good old Mickey Mouse. Then we added in a greenhouse dome. An all glass geodesic dome that will serve as a green house/solarium. This glass dome will attach to the house right over the front door entering into the great room. Our last house had a screened in porch but it was so far from the kitchen and not connected directly to the house that we never used it. We are designing it so that it will be easy to get to from the kitchen and just becomes extra square footage that isn't heated but should still get enough passive solar to stay above freezing in the winter. The kitchen and great room dome areas will be higher ceilings than the bedroom wings. The master wing has an open floor plan and custom bathroom that strategically places walls so there is privacy but there are no doors. The other wing initially will be for the kids but the long term plan is to rent it out as a small 1 bedroom. In the plans it shows where the eventual kitchen will go but initially it will be just hookups and we will use it as a studio/craft room. This is the floor plan I created using a basic stock floor plan from Monolithic. This will inevitably change but we felt it was the best way to start out.
We are DONE with dry wall and everything is painted!!! It looks almost like a real house inside. I can top that news by saying WE HAVE HEAT!!! Lets take a moment to celebrate having a functioning heating system in a cold climate in the middle of winter! The marathon of drywall is done for now. We still have the master wing of the house to do after we move in but we would like to just pretend we are done for awhile. It was a long slow dusty process but it looks amazing. The flat walls are a cool white and the dome surface is a warm cream. All our color will come from materials not paint colors. We have plans for wood, metal and stone throughout the house. We are finally getting to install more lighting fixtures and finalize all the outlets and switches. To watch a five minute video walk through CLICK HERE . Greatroom floor outlet in the center of the room. We decided that since the room is 32' across it needed an outlet in the center where furniture would be. Kids bathroom sconces
