Eye of the Storm — This Monolithic Dome home, on a beach site on Sullivans Island, South Carolina, is a prolate ellipse measuring 80′ × 57′ × 34′.
Many curves — The grand staircase to the third level continues the dome’s sculpted and curved design.
Second floor — It encompasses the home’s main living area: living, dining and entertaining areas; a kitchen; 3 full bathrooms; 2 bedrooms.
A hurricane survivor — The Eye’s ground level has 8 huge openings that a hurricane’s storm surge can rush through without harming the dome’s top 2 levels.
Gourmet fixings — Kitchen features an eating island and a work counter, built in opposite curves of Corian. Work counter has sink bowls molded right into it, making it seamless and easy to clean.

Third floor comfort — This sitting room is suspended over the second level and flooded with sunshine coming through the skylight.
