I built my first dome from scratch and at first, used it as a circus studio, teaching classes. I lived in it for a summer while I rented my house out to pay for the dome. ” “
explore new ideas, and they will continue to support you throughout your journey. The business ensures its customers are offered replacement parts and upgrade options. If you’re looking to purchase a dome from Phoenix domes, a customer would start by viewing their website and filling out a quote request. In response, Freyja and her team will send back the quote with an idea of the end cost and all the information regarding things to consider when purchasing a dome, such as platform, installation options, heating, and upgrade options. If customers are looking to build a more customized dome, a personal phone call will be booked with Freyja to help make their visions come to life with her knowledge and expertise. Freyja explains, “The benefit of the dome upgrades we’ve developed is that people can also start very simply if they don’t have a huge budget right away and then upgrade their domes over time, by adding in the glass windows
and other accessories.” As per a timeline to receive your dome, the business has two warehouses in Toronto and Vancouver, so depending on your location and if the requested dome is in stock, you can have your dome in as little as a week. Custom orders, however, can take up to three months but are worth the short wait. As for competition, there are only a small number of comparable companies, one being Pacific Domes, which are in the US and American-made; they have been around for a very long time. They are very well respected by Freyja as the quality of their domes is very similar, but their pricing is relatively higher. If you’re looking to get into the hospitality industry, domes could be your best option, financially. A very nice dome starts around $10,000, plus the cost of a platform, setup, and interior finishing. This means that a successful business can often pay that off in a year and buy more the following year
and keep growing. It could potentially be a quick return on your investment when done properly. In 2026, Phoenix Dome plans to continue promoting their residential domes and glass domes, along with their many upgrades and dome accessories. In many ways, Phoenix Domes mirrors Freyja’s own journey—resilient, unconventional, and quietly revolutionary. What began as a personal experiment born out of curiosity and necessity has grown into a business that reimagines how we build, live, and gather. At a time when housing feels increasingly inaccessible and conventional solutions fall short, Phoenix Domes offers something rare: structures that are efficient yet beautiful, practical yet imaginative. More than domes, they are proof that when creativity, craftsmanship, and courage intersect, it’s possible to build spaces and lives that rise from challenge stronger than before.
