Geodesic Domes
In 1970, when R. Buckminster Fuller received a gold-medal for his development of the geodesic dome, the American Institute of Architects called it “the strongest, lightest and most efficient means of enclosing space yet known to man.” Indeed, the spherical form of the dome is composed of triangular facets, which can withstand pressure on all sides. Fuller discovered that a sphere created with triangles could have unparalleled strength.
Domes are a true example of “doing more with less.” A dome encloses the largest volume of interior space with the least amount of surface area, thus saving on materials and cost. Since a dome is free-standing, air and energy circulate without obstruction, enabling natural heating and cooling.
We have expanded upon Fuller’s discoveries for over 40 years. Our construction team has tested the inherent strength of the dome with artful skill and precision. Our clients trust that we are providing the most reliable, portable and energy efficient structures.

Our domes are portable and quick to assemble. All of our domes may be packed down and transported in a box truck. Connect with a representative for more details on how to construct your own dome at home, or have our skilled staff meet you at any location to help.
“The structure of the Vaastu inspired dome vibrates with cosmic energy and the bodily instrument resonates with this vibration. To create and offer a home of supreme bliss, and to enable us to experience that supreme bliss, here in this mundane house itself, these are the prime motives of Vaastu science”. Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati

Geodesic Domes
Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) developed what he called “Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science.” This was the attempt to anticipate and solve humanity’s major problems through the highest technology by providing “more and more life support for everybody, with less and less resources.” “Bucky” is best known for the invention of the geodesic dome–the lightest, strongest, and most cost-effective structure ever devised. The geodesic dome is able to cover more space without internal supports than any other enclosure. It becomes proportionally lighter and stronger the larger it is. The geodesic dome is a breakthrough in shelter, not only in cost-effectiveness, but in ease of construction and energy efficiency. The geometry allows proper circulation of the ambient air with little energy input. Fullers work continues to inspire ours as we initiate a more sustainable and efficient future.
Geodesic Domes: A Sacred Space
R. Buckminster Fuller–inventor, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet and cosmologist was one of the most enlightened mystics of the last century. Fuller was truly a man ahead of his time.
