Think you know what a dome is? I thought I knew. I recalled the domes that some of my friends built and lived in. Funky structures that never seemed to live up to their potential as perhaps the best design for living and work spaces. Maybe okay for hippie communes of the 60s or back-to-the-landers of the 70s, but definitely not something you'd expect to find as suburban homes for the masses. Well a company from the Southern Interior of BC has set out to change all this.
