Dome Home Design and Build
Domes are a big passion of mine, I have been designing and building them professionally for the last eleven years.
I am the first person to be grated official planning permission for Air crete domes homes in Europe and The United States.
Eleven years ago I designed and built the first 100% Aircrete brick dome home in the world which is in a seismic zone in Turkey, you can see a time lapse of this build by clicking on the Turkey Dome Home photo below.
Below are some photos of the domes I have built in USA, Europe and Asia.

Having lived in Asia for twelve years, I am influenced by vernacular architecture and traditional building techniques. I have an ethos that respects and works with the nature of the site, enhancing the landscape. I bring together a fusion of the best of traditional, low-impact building techniques and modern technologies. All my domes have cross ventilation, which keeps the building fresh and cool. High insulation provides a comfortable space as well as low running costs. No more maintenance than the conventional approach is required.
What are the advantages of domes?
> The form of a dome is very strong and use less materials than conventional buildings yet outperform them in structural tests.
> They mirror the suns path maximising solar gain.
> No separate roof structure is required, saving time and money.
> Domes are spacious, healing structures with a unique beauty.
> Domes are efficient, covering the most living area with the least amount of surface area.
> Domes require less energy to heat and cool because they circulate air effectively and maintain even temperatures. This combined with 15 - 25cm of aircrete insulation makes them extremely efficient structures with low running costs.
My style of dome home designing
As a designer the needs of my clients are at the centre of my design process. My best practices and insights gain from eleven years of experience inform all my design decisions, the out comes are one of a kind beautiful dome homes that meet the unique needs of my clients. I have a team of talented licensed architects and engineers who work with me to produce the necessary technical drawings. Once clear goals are established it takes ten weeks to produce the package of architectural drawings necessary to meet regulations and codes to receive planning permission.

The images below are photo realistic renders of the project that I am currently building 40KM south of Barcelona, it is the first Air crete dome home to be granted planning permission in Europe.
Below are a few renders of my latest design project; a full architectural drawings design package for a 168M2 dome home for a wonderful family in Panama. Here is what they had to say about working with me:
”My husband and I worked with Matt for two months on the design of our family air crete dome home and it was such a great experience! Matt was very professional, a great communicator, so creative, clear, and concise. On top of making our vision of a family dome come to life, he had so many great suggestions to make our future home more cohesive, comfortable, and child-friendly. We cannot wait to see his designs come to life as we build, and then eventually live in that beautiful space. We would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to design and build their dream air crete dome!” - Nicole Trujillo, USA Click here to read testimonials from my other clients. |
