Geodesic domeCan be orderedAmerican Ingenuity (AI Domes) ↗
The Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter, a geodesic dome kit from American Ingenuity (AI Domes), has no published price and is engineered to 225 mph wind.
American Ingenuity (AI Domes) does not publish a snow load or a price for this model, so 62 percent of the fields we score are blank.
None of that tells you whether it works on your land. Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance are site specific engineering, so the only useful answer comes from running this kit against your address.
Completeness
38 percent of the fields we score are backed by something American Ingenuity (AI Domes) published. Why completeness is never part of the grade.
The thing nobody else will tell you
This kit cannot be scored on its own. Nothing on this page tells you whether it works on your land.
Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance come from your address, not from this kit. Put in an address and the gates run against the real requirement at that point.

The Kit Home Finder Grade
Rubric v1.0, August 2026. Site fit is not in this grade, because it depends on your land rather than on the kit. Every weight, and what we refuse to grade.

What else we found
Company advertises a '225 mph Wind & F4 Tornado Warranty', this is presented as a manufacturer warranty claim rather than an independent third-party test rating; the same material also cites a real-world data point (structure reported to have withstood ~200 mph gusts during Hurricane Irma). R28 insulation figure is company-published for the concrete panel system. Ten diameters offered (15 to 48ft, 172 to 2,992 sq ft interior range). Direct WebFetch of aidomes.com pages returned 403 errors for most pages; a 2016-dated legacy price list exists on the site but is too old to report as current pricing, so price fields are left null rather than guessed.

Questions people ask about the American Ingenuity (AI Domes) Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter
Answered from what American Ingenuity (AI Domes) publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".
How much does the American Ingenuity (AI Domes) Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter cost?
American Ingenuity (AI Domes) publishes no price for this model. Across the whole Index only about a third of makers publish a price in dollars at all.
What wind speed is the American Ingenuity (AI Domes) Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter engineered to?
American Ingenuity (AI Domes) publishes 225 mph for this model. That is their design capability at the conditions they assume, not a rating of your house. Your required design wind speed depends on your address, your Risk Category and your Exposure Category.
What snow load can the American Ingenuity (AI Domes) Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter roof take?
American Ingenuity (AI Domes) does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.
Can you actually buy the American Ingenuity (AI Domes) Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter?
Yes. American Ingenuity (AI Domes) takes orders for this model today.
What foundation does the American Ingenuity (AI Domes) Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter need?
American Ingenuity (AI Domes) does not publish foundation options for this model. That matters more than it sounds: in a FEMA A or V flood zone the finished floor has to sit above the base flood elevation, and a kit offered on a slab only cannot get there.
How well does the American Ingenuity (AI Domes) Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter stand up to a hurricane or a wildfire?
The honest answer is what it resists, and under what conditions. No kit home is proof against either, and any page telling you otherwise is selling. "Hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, no house can be tornado rated, and whole building certifications like LEED, Passive House and HERS all require a built, sited, inspected home and cannot be attached to a model from a spec sheet. What a maker can honestly tell you is what the design resists and under what conditions. For this model, that is a 225 mph design wind speed.
Will the American Ingenuity (AI Domes) Concrete dome shell kit, 34ft diameter work on my land?
Nothing on any spec sheet can answer that, including this one. Wind, snow, seismic, flood and soil requirements come from your address, not from the kit. The Kit Home Finder runs every kit in the Index against the published hazard data for your point and shows you what survives and why the rest did not. It is free.
