American Ingenuity’s Office Domes  

Are Open For Viewing Tuesday & Thursday 11 am - 1 pm

by Appointment Only

American Ingenuity looks forward to having you visit our 20 year old dome offices which consist of a 45' dome linked to a 34' dome. The office domes are not a model home, but set up as offices. You can easily see how spacious and livable the domes are. Tours are Tuesday & Thursday by appointment only from 11 am to 1pm. To shedule a week day tour, please call Ai's office at 321-639-8777. 

One Saturday a month the office domes can be toured along with a 10 year old dome home (34' - two bedroom/two bath with one car 22' garage dome) located in Melbourne Florida (eight miles south of Ai's offices).  Scroll down this page to find the Saturday tour info, dates and directions to our offices.  To schedule a Saturday tour, please call Ai's office at 321-639-8777. Saturday tours are by appointment only.  Ai's offices are located in Rockledge Florida about 1 hour east of Orlando and about 40 minutes south of Cape Canaveral.

The Ai office is closed when the following holidays are observed: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. During the week between Christmas and New Years there will be reduced office hours. 

Financing is the single biggest block to owning a dome home. Lenders tend to want 25% to 35% down based on the finished price of the dome home. They will accept equity you have in your land towards this down payment. Each client researches and coordinates their own financing.

The following is a description of the plans design process: 

• If you do not find a stock plan to fit your lifestyle, sketch out your ideas on a stock plan or on the blue floor planner pages in the stock floor plan booklet.
• Email them to us by clicking on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or fax them to us at 321-639-8778.  Please include your name, phone number(s), time zone and best time to contact you.  If you fax your sketches, please call our office at 321-639-8777 to assure that we received your fax, the correct number of pages and that it was legible.
• When you want to discuss your floor plan questions, please call us.  Please contact your building department and ask what is required to obtain a building permit.....besides building plans do they need an engineer seal on the building plans?  Do they require an Energy Report?
• After we receive your plans sketch, our Plans Coordinator will complete a Plans Quote which will be emailed to you.  
• For us to schedule your plans for design, either email your acceptance of the Plans Quote or return the Plans Quote signed and include payment in full for the Building Plans.
• Once we start the design of your plans, Ai will email or fax three rough drafts that you review, make changes and return to us.
• After you approve the final draft, Ai designs your structural blue prints, completes your plans and mails the plotted plans via priority mail (if you are a USA client).
• If your plans require an engineer seal, a quote is obtained from the engineer before the design work starts.  The seal cost is included in your Plans Quote.  Ai plots the plans and mails them to the engineer for his stamp and signature.  The engineer then mails your plans to you.
• Once we start the design process, it takes about two to three weeks for modified plans and about four weeks for custom plans.......usually most of the time is taken up between when we send you the draft and when you return it to us.
