The Miranda: Explore 6 Beautiful Variations of This Versatile Dome House Plan

The Miranda is one of our favorites, and with its versatile dome house plan options, it should be one of yours as well!

Conventional homes can be customized, but they just can’t compete with a versatile dome house plan. And one of our all-time favorite plans is the Miranda.

Why do we love it? That’s an easy question to answer:

One or two stories. From two to four bedrooms. Enough living space in each design to comfortably accommodate just about any family. And it all comes with the safety and security concrete domes are known for.

A Versatile Dome House Plan for Families

Every dome floor plan is customizable, but the Miranda shows just how well a versatile dome house plan can transform from one layout to another. That versatility comes from the pillar-free construction of our domes. With no support beams or structural walls to limit your designs, you can find just the right combination of comfort, convenience, and privacy.

The Mirandas we’re sharing here already come in six different pre-drafted designs. The multiple design options give you the chance to customize the home to your liking without compromising personality or functionality.

The nearly 1,600 square feet of the one-story floor plans offer up to 3 bedrooms, all built around a central kitchen-dining-living space. Meanwhile, the two-story plans give the master suite room to breathe without losing useful spaces for gathering, studying, or hanging with friends.

The Many Faces and Features of the Miranda

No matter which design you see for your family, the Miranda shares these central features in all of the floor plans. From natural light for great rooms to quiet corners for studying and working, you’ll find these versatile dome house plans will work for just about anyone.

Living Spaces for All Purposes

Open and airy great rooms are a given with domes like this. But what you might not expect are all the little living spaces throughout the designs. Dens, nooks, libraries, and workout rooms all make an appearance in these plans.

Windows Everywhere

Some people think dome homes are dark inside because windows might be harder to install on curved walls. They couldn’t be further from the truth! The Miranda’s versatile dome house plan designs include entire walls of windows for gathering spaces. But you don’t have to stop there: you can customize your own plan by adding frames for windows to the airform before we finish it out with the insulation and shotcrete.

Built-In Convenience

If you’re building a family home, you’ll need storage. And the Miranda has plenty of it. Beyond storage, you’ll find more than enough room for your family’s wardrobes, toys, and collectibles without feeling cramped or crowded.

Privacy and Comfort

Even with all the open space in these floor plans, you can still hide away without being disturbed. The bedrooms are the best examples of this privacy: the masters have a full bath attached, even with a soaker tub in some, and they’re set apart from other bedrooms and gathering spaces.

One-Story Variations: Comfortable and Cozy

The convenience of a single-story floor plan is undeniable: no stairs, no noisy ceilings, and no tripping hazards. They’re ideal for areas where a lower profile is required, as well as for families with mobility limitations. But don’t let the one-level design fool you: there’s still more than enough room for everything you need and want.

Why Choose a Versatile Dome House Plan?

Conventional homes are certainly more familiar, but can a custom home truly be custom if you can’t move structural walls? We don’t think so. Dome homes are the most versatile and customizable homes available. There’s no structural support requirements because the dome itself is that structural support.

But dome homes are much more than just custom. They can withstand the worst weather imaginable with little to no damage. Domes can even survive wildfires, earthquakes, and floods. And that safety also comes with efficiency. You’ll cut your energy bills in half, maybe even more, while reducing maintenance needs and costs significantly.
We know you’ll love living in a custom-designed dome home, but the Miranda isn’t the only versatile dome house plan we have available.
