​How are GeoStudios domes built?

Most domes on the market are made with metal tubing. Here at GeoStudios we developed a dome that uses good 'ol lumber. 
Why?  
Because
wood is sustainable, easy to work with and Canadians have used wood like, forever. Also the 2x4 lumber means you can easily insulate and that means year round use! 
Simplicity, convenience and familiarity.​
cutting the chords
Build the floor
wall panels built
prime everything
placing the wall panels
framing in action
all 6 pentagons are up, what's left are spaces for door and windows

spray insulation is easily done
batts are easily incorporated
doorways that 'look like they belong'
custom doors
Modular assembly of The Gnome Dome
Two people, two hours
to lock up!

did I say year round use?
"Roofette" windows have a deep sill

Many possibilities for interior finishes. Choose fabrics, panelling, pine slats, painted plywood or even repurposed pallets! You're only limited by your imagination!
