A simple and attractive dome structure comprises a pair of orthogonally intersecting arcuate main beams which define a portion of a sphere and a plurality of arcuate ribs lying in vertical planes are spaced between the ribs and supported by horizontal circular floor joists which are mounted interiorly of the beams and ribs. The structure is enclosed by wall segments one of which is disposed between each adjacent rib pair, these segments comprising a double layer of slats which are inserted into channels in the ribs and sandwich a layer of insulation therebetween. The ribs, joists, and main beams are of laminar wood construction, and a pair of annular floors are supported at their perimeters by the previously mentioned circular joists and centrally by circular joists suspended by cables from the main beams, there being a helical staircase providing central access to the annular floors from the supporting surface below the structure.
