Yep, artists definitely lived here We love a good dome home, especially one as unusual (in the best way!) as this one near Hobart, capital of the Australian island state Tasmania. Starting from the covered red front terrace to the bright school-bus-yellow sliding doors, you get the idea that this is a pretty special place.
Built in 1974, the geodesic stunner is the work of local creative duo John and Penny Smith?he a furniture designer and maker, she a ceramic artist and designer (John passed away in 2015.)
The three-bedroom, roughly 1,860-square-foot abode comprises triangular elements made from fiberglass and perspex?a type of clear acrylic?creating a particularly sleek and futuristic appearance.
The interior, airy yet cleverly occupied, presents another ?Wow? moment. The open-plan ground floor features a hexagonal yellow kitchen?complete with a hexagonal island?in the center, surrounded by the open living and dining area, two bedrooms, and a bathroom and laundry area. A 550-square-foot wraparound porch can be accessed via the front foyer and the living area a diameter away.

Compact stairs in the foyer lead to a grand master bedroom loft, with a band of triangular ?skylights? above and built-in storage benches along the wall.

That?s...
