Welcome to Old World Masonry, where I specialize in the art of dome building. I am a new business, and am looking to partner with people who can appreciate a unique product, and/or who are looking for a custom design. I began my journey by first successfully completing a masonry dome, but soon after expanded my dome building techniques to wooden structures. The geometry of the wooden structures I build is similar to that of a geodesic dome, but is superior in that the shape of the structure I build is that of catenary (hanging chain) inverted. The catenary is the strongest shape in nature, (which is why I initial chose to build the masonry structure with it), which makes it stronger than a geodesic dome, and it is also superior in that I can give it any amount of curvature I want to, from very shallow, to very steep. There are also other shapes and forms that I am looking to bring to life, that I haven't had a chance to build yet, including a hexagonal shaped pergola, a gazebo (which has the same basic structure, but a solid roof instead of rope), and also a hybrid wooden/ masonry gazebo, which uses the wooden structure as a formwork to place a rock and mortar roof on top of. The sky is the limit, and am looking to build for people who like unique, custom, beautiful products.
