Dodeca Domes

Joshua Tulberg is an industrial designer and founder of Dodeca Domes. His fascination with geodesic domes began when he was introduced to the pentakis dodecahedron. Recognizing the shape's potential as a highly efficient and visually awesome starting point for a tiny home, he designed and built the original Mini Dome in the backyard of his Portland, Oregon home. He meticulously documented the entire construction process to create this book.
