The Refugio Popular Wood Shell Dome Home Package w/Steel Connectors Cabin Get-Away
The Refugio plan is one of our most popular plans for the 45' dome. Totaling almost 3,080 square feet, the Refugio features four bedrooms and three baths on two stories. See our 3d dome animations and other models on our YouTube Channel: "Chretien54"
Downstairs shows an excellent use of extensions. The extensions are used for the large kitchen and dining area. This leaves the interior of the dome for the living room/family room. The effective use of optional skylights provides abundant natural lighting in all rooms.
The upstairs is devoted to 3 bedrooms and the Master Suite, with a large bedroom and spacious bathroom. The second floor balcony provides a dramatic view overlooking the first floor.
