“Forget the dime-a-dozen, square-box ski condos,” said the current owner, who drove by the property for more than 20 years before buying it in July 2022.
For Boulderite Andrew McBryan and his family, living in “The Dome” in Vail is like perching in a bird’s nest.McBryan owns the top twoat 2940 Basingdale Blvd. The property, built in 1976, is visible from Interstate 70 and was listed for“Forget the dime-a-dozen, square-box ski condos. This is unique. It’s a really fun space to be in,” said McBryan, who drove by the property for more than 20 years before buying it in July 2022.
Domes were built across the country in the mid-to late 1970s in an effort to create more energy-efficient homes.But the spherical design poses some construction challenges. Most building materials like windows and pipes are designed for traditional homes, so dome homes require custom products or retrofitting. Chimneys can be challenging to place, creating rooms and divisions is difficult, and it’s impossible to expand dome homes.
As building regulations became more stringent, dome construction slowed. “I suspect in Vail in the ‘70s you could do whatever you wanted, but now the building codes are different,” McBryan said. McBryan and his family, who live in Boulder, spend part of their year staying at the three-bedroom top floor. He purchased both units in July 2022 for $2.4 million.
McBryan then spent $300,000 to renovate both the third floor and the four-bedroom second floor, which the family rents for short-term vacation stays. McBryan added new windows, floors, and custom kitchens in both units.“We had fun restoring it and bringing it back to its glory, in a way,” McBryan said. “Now that we’ve done that, it’s time to pass it on.
