Spring of 2020 – Conceptional Ideas Come to Life on SketchUp

During the spring of 2020 Michael purchased the 3D Modelling Program SketchUp and began designing our 5 Partial Sphere 3 Frequency Icosahedron Dome.

Because of post-COVID inflation rates we are not building the annex and main dome (dome to the left). We have chosen to build the garage and workshop section of the original design, with a studio apartment above to call home.

Two years after he started putting his ideas into 3D form, construction begins with Michael as the one man general contractor.

Michael has designed, researched, organized, been part of or is building every aspect of our dome.

We hope you enjoy this blog series.
