A Geodesic Dome Shines With a Light and Bright Makeover

ByMyProperty Life

A cheerful, modern update takes a geodesic dome home from dark and outdated to open and airy.

In the living room, a blue-gray velvet sofa is paired with a live-edge walnut coffee table and two marine-blue armchairs over an oval area rug.

Located on a picturesque lakefront setting in the Berkshire town of Becket, Massachusetts, this 2,567 square-foot building has been revamped into an ideal holiday home for a Boston couple and their friends and family. 

Originally built in the 1980s, the home was outdated with wall-to-wall carpeting, small living areas, dark wood paneling, and heating and electrical issues. Local firm Jess Cooney Interiors led the nine-month renovation of the entire house—including the master loft, living areas, basement rooms, and an extensive kitchen remodel. 

Nestled into its lakefront setting, the wood shingle–clad exterior remains intact. The owners are currently building an outdoor deck and installing new landscaping.
