The Joys and Challenges of Building 
and Living in the Round.
by Carmella Gonella, Michele Ostrowski and Jean Hirst
Forward by David B. South

This 148-page book takes the reader through a dome
building journey and shares insights into lessons
learned—both good and bad. Each chapter is full
of information, black and white photographs and illustrations. Topics include:

• Exterior and Interior Design Elements
• Financing and Insuring a Dome Home
• Building in a Rural Area
• Finding an Architect and/or Contractor
• Feng Shui for Living in the Round

Carmella and Jean are currently living in a dome home community in Northeast Georgia. They intend this book to be a one-stop introduction to planning and construction considerations to arm you before you begin with information and suggestions.
