Your design concept is certainly fanciful and quite lovely, really. Could be built with earthbags? Not easily. Domes that are more of a catenary arch form are more easily accommodated with earthbags; these spherical shapes, or convex shapes would likely require some internal rigid framework to help support them. This is possible, but it definitely adds to the complexity of the project. Q: I intended to make a 19′ dome. Your FAQ says 20′ is about the max. But I realized after everything was finished that the outside DIA is 22′. A: I came up with that 20′ max suggestion just as a conservative figure that I knew would be fine, based on my experience building the large dome in Colorado. It was ellipse that measured 20′ X 30′ on the inside…so my thinking was actually inside dimensions. And it was off the top of my head. Your 19′ dome is well within this rough suggestion. Q: I love the concept of dome homes but am interested in a larger diameter than the limited 20 foot model. I’d like you
