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.

Welcome to Penny Lane
We’ve named our property Penny Lane after the song by The Beatles.
In July of 2019, we purchased Lots 70, 71 & 72, giving us almost 5 acres of land.
The blue line is a creek that runs the entire length of our property. This creek, we’ve affectionally named Swells Creek, ends in a waterfall into the lake. Our lake frontage has its own natural beach inlet.
We built the dome on Lot 71, hidden within trees. This allows us privacy from Lot 73 and Lot 50, whose owners built their homes closer to the water.
The original Penny Lane is a street in Liverpool, England. The song Penny Lane is about Paul McCartney’s memories of living in that city.
Since we purchased our property, many memories have been made at our Penny Lane, and we look forward to many memories ahead…
