DOME PROJECT
Doors & Windows
Simulated Picture Window
Side angle view showing extended slab and window alcove
The window is low E and UV reflective to reduce glare from outside
Simulated Actual Picture Window area without framing structure constructed
strings are used for geometrical center reference
Rich Cassidy, John and Josh working on the support structure
Framework completed
Plywood and insulation is then constructed for the exterior of the framing
Then Tar paper placed on the outside
Steel Framework for window is welded in place and bolted to wood frame
See Geometry Section for basis of measurement ratio details
Finished Window
Simulation
Simulated Bottom slidng glass doors 12 feet wide 4 section with the center slideable
Above Balcony 3 foot wide glass
door has extended triangles on both sides to hide the
all thread 2nd story supports that extend down from the dome walls
(For air circulation through
the balcony door above is accomplished with a vent above the door
that can be operated from the outside and may be augmented
with fans to draw air from the rear door)
Simulation
Sliding Glass Rear Door 6 feet wide 2 section
(For air circulation through this entry way the side windows have slide up screened openings)
Simulation
Simulated construction of 3.5 Round upstairs bedroom window
Framed front metal door with center window slit
Brown rectangle represents hallway framing
Simulation
Front door has 2 privacy glass
windows on each side that allows natural lighting
