About this project
The One-Room Dome is a personal design study — a geodesic dome home imagined as a single, daylit, multifunctional room — paired with an honest, cited resource for anyone thinking about building a dome of their own.
It is not a product and not a sales site. The build-method comparison and the resource directory deliberately keep the uncertainty flags in: the aircrete R-value dispute, Binishell’s failure history, Geoship’s pre-mainstream status, and the fact that domes leak.
Provenance & licensing
All of the imagery here is the author’s own work, and it comes in two flavours:
- AI concept art & films — the still (
src/assets/photos/) and the 15 clips (public/videos/) were generated by the author with Grok Imagine. They’re the high-fidelity look at the idea, and they carry the vibe the rough 3D studies can’t yet. - 3D studies — the renders (
src/assets/renders/) and Blender sources (design/) are the author’s own work-in-progress, shown honestly as a low-fi iteration strip.
All of the above content and the written prose on the site are licensed for

How it’s built
- Astro — a static site, built to a project page on
GitHub Pages and served from the
/dome/base. Two type-safe content collections drive the comparison table and the resource directory. - Tailwind CSS (v4, via the Vite plugin) for a warm, biophilic layout that echoes the reference photo’s palette.
- Blender for the renders and the
.blenddesign sources — the same tooling that could later re-render clean hero shots. - Images are optimized to responsive AVIF/WebP through
astro:assets; the ~35 MB of concept clips are served as plain files (no Git LFS, which GitHub Pages does not serve).
