Drs. Tom and Maureen Anderson built Living Word Bible Church with three Monolithic Domes 30 years ago, turning a bold vision into a thriving, 15,000-member community. Their faith and innovation made it an iconic landmark in Mesa, Arizona.
Monolithic has teamed up with Duro-Last Roofing to create a new method for renovating Monolithic Domes. ReCover by Monolithic replaces deteriorating or damaged roofing membranes and restores your investment. When the River Bend Ag domes needed renovation, they received beautiful results with a ReCover by Monolithic facelift.
Last year, we were asked to help build some forms for a precast culvert system. We were excited to be part of that project, but you have higher pressure requirements in a precast system. These higher requirements forced the question, how much pressure can these forms take?
While no single solution can solve every problem, incorporating Monolithic Domes into disaster mitigation plans—whether as homes, schools, municipal buildings or community shelters—can save lives and provide a foundation for quicker recovery.
Monolithic superintendent Javier Figueroa took some great photos during the construction of a ring-beam footing and the attachment and inflation stages of a 55-foot hoop-style Monolithic Dome in South Carolina. Check out this quick photo journal.
This photo journal depicts the construction of the dome shell for a house we recently completed in Vermont. It is an insider’s tour of the steps to construct a Monolithic Dome home. This home is a two-story dome with a 43-foot diameter. It sits on a 10-foot stemwall and is 25 feet tall in total.
On the edge of Sedona, Arizona, greeting travelers driving the Red Rock Scenic Byway, is Sedona Domes, created originally as “Xanadu of Sedona” in the early 90s. The Arizonan landmark has taken on a new identity with its current owners, Laura Lee and Paul Robear. The couple updated the historic Monolithic Dome home and share it with others via their highly-rated, popular Airbnb.
In February, we started the patterning and manufacturing of one of our most unique projects for 2024. This Airform is for a clubhouse being built in Virginia. It is made up of six interconnected, 60-foot (12 m) diameter domes. Three domes will have massive cutouts in which glass walls will be installed.
Turkiye’s new Presidential Symphony Orchestra (or CSO) Concert Hall in Ankara, Turkiye, officially opened in 2021 and has since hosted hundreds of performances by artists from every artistic genre and every corner of the world. It features two Monolithic Domes and has become a symbol of Turkiye’s rich and ever-evolving cultural landscape and is the country’s artistic epicenter.
Electrical wiring is more than power for lights, air conditioning, and toasters. It’s also phone calls, surfing the web, fire alarms, and a surround sound theater—any system where an electrical circuit is needed. With proper planning, wiring a Monolithic Dome—whether it’s a home, school, storage, or storm shelter—is straightforward.
