ABSTRACT:
A semi-dome-shaped structure has a foundation and a plurality of load-bearing structural elements each of which extends upwardly from the base and meets at a common vertex suspended above the base. Each structural element has a longitudinal centerline that lies approximately within intersecting great circle planes whose line of intersection is perpendicular to the base. A top covering extends over the structural elements from the vertex of the structural elements to a small semi-circle intermediate the vertex and the base. A plurality of side panels extend from the top covering to the base to provide an enclosure. The front of the structure can have an enormous picture window and a balcony.
