Benefits of Monolithic Dome Homes
Welcome to Monolithic
Monolithic is dedicated to improving people’s lives worldwide by introducing and constructing Monolithic Domes, for personal and public use, that are disaster-resistant, energy-efficient and cost-effective.
Monolithic Domes are the most energy efficient and safest buildings that can be built and that can be designed for many uses. Many schools now conduct their classes in Monolithic Domes. Some are designated as tornado shelters. Others have Monolithic Dome gymnasiums, auditoriums, multipurpose centers, libraries, cafeterias, etc. Because Monolithic’s technology meets FEMA criteria for a structure that can provide near-absolute disaster protection, some schools have received FEMA grants of 75% of their construction costs. These schools will save 60% to 75% of the energy costs as compared to conventional buildings. The energy savings will pay for the building in total in less than 20 years. And in most cases, they save money on first cost for the construction.
In addition to schools, Monolithic designs homes, churches, office complexes, bulk storages, etc. Located in Italy, Texas, Monolithic has been constructing these quality buildings for more than 35 years. The buildings are built to last for centuries.
This website is devoted to broadening the understanding and education of this technologically advanced construction process. Monolithic teaches this technology at workshops to those who would like to learn it.
A complex of seven, 60-foot, interconnected, colorfully painted and decorated domes dominates the far end of Monolithic’s headquarters. It is Bruco — Monolithic’s 14,000 sq ft factory that houses the state-of-the-art equipment for the design and manufacture of Airforms and various other tarps, covers and liners. Bruco is cooled in the hot Texas summers with a 5-ton AC unit and heated in the winter by leaving the lights on at night.
Monolithic has also developed EcoShell structures. These can be built by hand, as superior, low-cost housing across the world. They are safe and super long lasting. They also make great out buildings – just not insulated.
Through this website, we present the latest information related to the development of Monolithic’s cutting-edge technologically. See our site navigation helps.

Monolithic Dome Churches: Legacy Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico is a sanctuary with a diameter of 192 feet and a height of 50 feet. (Megann Lewis)
Monolithic’s BRUCO — Inside Bruco – the Caterpillar, Monolithic Airforms can design and manufacture an Airform large enough for a 200-foot diameter Monolithic Dome, a 300-foot diameter Crenosphere, or a grain tarp to cover a two-acre grain pile. (Megann Lewis)
Monolithic Dome Rentals — The Inn Place is a thriving example of Monolithic Dome Rentals. There are over fifty Io-20 rental units in this complex with more to come. (Megann Lewis)
Monolithic Fertilizer Blend Plant — Blend plants are currently being constructed in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Shown here is a 95’ diameter dome with a 3000 ton capacity. (Javier Figeuroa)
