The dome, built when Vail architecture was more whimsical, resembles a paper-mâché project.
Visible from Interstate 70 in Vail, this house on the 2900 block of Basingdale Boulevard resembles a paper-mâché project perched in the trees. For Boulderite Andrew McBryan and his family, living in “The Dome” in Vail is like perching in a bird’s nest.McBryan owns the top two floors of the raised geodesic dome on the 2900 block of Basingdale Boulevard. The property, built in 1976, is visible from Interstate 70 and was listed for $4 million.
Domes were built across the country in the mid-to late 1970s in an effort to create more energy-efficient homes.But the spherical design poses some construction challenges. Most building materials like windows and pipes are designed for traditional homes, so dome homes require custom products or retrofitting. Chimneys can be challenging to place, creating rooms and divisions is difficult, and it’s impossible to expand dome homes.
