Discover The Alameda
A delightful break from the traditional-looking home, this CBI Dome Kit Home boasts a 24-foot diameter footprint and a 24-foot dome height. It is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. This attractive 5/8 geodesic dome shell is designed with space efficiency in mind and is available in multiple layout options. In addition, the home offers three levels, and enclosed breezeways allow you to connect additional dome pods for expanded living such as a two-car garage, in-law suite, rental studio, yoga room, or creative workspace.
The Almeda is the most energy-efficient, economical, and compact home we offer in terms of price, longevity, maintenance cost, and low upkeep. This CBI Dome Kit Home can comfortably meet the needs of a regular family with room for visiting guests. The centrally located, covered, heated staircase creates a functional core that ties all levels together. The home can be heated with just one basic wood-burning stove and cooled with a single 220v wall unit.
With its open floor plan, the Almeda provides an organic feeling of freedom. The cathedral ceiling throughout the great room adds a sense of “the sky is the limit,” enhanced by the optional center skylight. Picture yourself relaxing with family or friends, overlooking the surrounding landscape from a covered porch or deck, with an open charcoal grill sizzling a T-bone steak and fries. Downstairs, the ground level includes two bedrooms, a Hollywood-style master bathroom, an entry hallway, a laundry room, and a family living room.
