A 360-Degree Acoustic Environment
Its curved interior allows sound to interact with the space in a completely different way from a typical rectangular room. The architecture itself becomes part of the instrument.
We want visitors to hear music differently, feel immersed in sound, and experience how architecture can influence the way sound travels through a space.
This creates an opportunity to explore sound as both an artistic experience and a wellness practice.
Sound baths and related sound-based practices can provide opportunities for relaxation, mindfulness, meditation, stress reduction, and sensory immersion to create a space where people can slow down, breathe, listen, and reconnect with themselves.
The Food
The Vegan Dome builds on an existing business: The Vegan Joint, a vegan food business established in Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia.
The Vegan Joint began as a home-based food operation, allowing us to develop our menu, serve local customers, test demand, and establish our brand before transitioning into a permanent location.
Today, The Vegan Joint has a large established following and continues to grow, with interest from both local Saint Lucian's and an international audience.
The Vegan Dome will provide The Vegan Joint with a dedicated space to expand its food operations while introducing more people to flavorful, accessible plant-based meals.
Our goal is simple: make healthy plant-based food more accessible while building on the customer interest and foundation we have already established.
A SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY
The Vegan Dome is also being designed with the community in mind.
We envision partnerships with local schools where students can visit the dome and learn about:
Architecture & Engineering — exploring the geometry, structural principles, and construction of a real geodesic dome.
Food & Nutrition — learning about plant-based foods, agriculture, nutrition, and healthier ways of eating.
Sound & Acoustics — experiencing vibration, frequency, resonance, music, and the relationship between sound and architecture.
Environmental Science — participating in beach cleanups while learning about marine ecosystems, plastic pollution, waste, recycling, and sargassum.
And our environmental involvement will extend beyond occasional cleanup events.
We want to develop an ongoing approach to beach stewardship, waste collection, material recovery, and environmental education, while exploring future opportunities for recycling and material-processing infrastructure.
