The Oberon Fourplex by Monolithic demonstrates how dome construction can create multi-unit housing in a single structure. This round building contains four separate 201 sq ft studio apartments, totaling just 804 sq ft for all four units combined.

Fourplex Floor Plan
The circular structure divides into four pie-shaped units, each with its own entrance. The round footprint maximizes interior space while minimizing exterior wall area.
Studio Unit Interior
Each unit functions as a complete studio apartment with kitchenette, bathroom, dining nook, wardrobe, and a bed that doubles as seating.
Kitchenette Area
The apartment-style kitchen includes basic appliances and counter space for meal preparation.
Sleeping Area with Climate Control
Each bedroom area includes a window and wall-mounted AC unit for individual climate control.
