The HATA Dome in California's High Desert embodies a 'future primitive' design with its monolithic architecture emerging from the rocky terrain, designed by self-taught architect Anastasiya Dudik.
The dome's design merges ancestral forms and materials with contemporary environmental needs, offering a space that blurs architectural boundaries and integrates with the surrounding landscape seamlessly.
Anastasiya Dudik, the designer, executed the project single-handedly, emphasizing resilience and sustainability through features like thermal mass, solar-ready systems, and a concrete structure that recontextualizes traditional materials.
The HATA Dome stands as a model of self-reliance and climate-resilient living, combining beauty with functionality through its concrete construction, integrated boulders, and sculptural interior design elements.
