Dome Homes from Berkeley

For over 30 years Timberline Geodesics in Berkeley California has been providing the plans, materials and expertise for the do-it-yourself homebuilder. The dome shape has been an architectural icon for thousands of years, yet we don’t see it very often in American residential architecture as a structural element. Most of the American residential architecture landscape looks as if a child was asked to draw a house and dimensions were added as an after thought.

Timberline Geodesics is not just for the do-it-yourself type, they are for the architecturally adventurous. This company’s patented bracket and ledger system makes them unique among geodesic domes.
