Every home in its beginning stage is bare. Exterior elements provide interest and variety. Banding used to connect the two domes adds horizontal lines and gives the dome a lineal feel.
The interplay of light and shade enhances the dome with depth. Door and window shapes provide shadow, detail and definition.
Conventional structures, added to the dome, play a major role in step-down massing and create visual interest.
Eye appeal can be created by incorporating some dark shadows and lighter areas with mediums of a third color. Domes can be coated and/or accented with various materials: concrete, stucco, brick, paint, etc.
A contrast in materials applied to the exterior lends texture. Here, glass brick in the entry way provides light and variation.
Landscaping softens the transition from building to earth and ties them together. Combining landscaping elements adds to the dome’s curb appeal.
