VikingDome Offer
We offer specialized design and construction services for complex glazed structures with metal frame, delivered to your location as prefabricated kits.
We can provide a turnkey service including:
- 3D modelling and parametric design
- Structural engineering
- Technical and production drawings
- Steel or aluminium frame manufacturing
- Glass engineering and supply
- Installation or on-site supervision
Our Parametric Design Process
We use Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper to develop complex parametric geometries and translate them into buildable structures, with precise control over form, dimensions and panelization.
How our T-STAR Steel Frame Technology Works
We bring the design to life using our T-STAR structural technology, where star-shaped steel hubs connect multiple structural beams at a single point, creating a strong and versatile frame.
Above the steel frame, aluminium profiles and EPDM rubber seals support and seal the glass panels, creating a, durable and weather-resistant glazing system.
Glass and Glazing
VikingDome offers single, double and triple-pane glass solutions. Options include clear, tinted, Low-E, solar-control, acoustic, toughened and laminated glass, as well as combinations of these.
For insulated applications, we use IGU/DGU and TGU systems with sealed cavities, spacer bars, desiccants and air or argon filling to improve thermal performance.
For projects where condensation control is important, we use VDSG structural glazing systems, including solutions that collect and transfer condensate through the profiles or manage it with mechanical ventilation.
Installation Process
The structure is delivered to your location as, prefabricated, pre-cut parts packed on pallets. You can assemble it yourself using the DIY instructions we provide, or choose installation with a VikingDome supervisor or full team.
Static Load Calculation Report
We can provide a project-specific static load calculation report covering self-weight, snow and wind loads, load combinations, deformation, structural member verification and support reactions. Prepared according to applicable Eurocode standards.
Motorized Retractable Glass Skylights
We also offer motorized retractable glass roof systems. Large glazed roof sections can open and close automatically, allowing spaces to switch between a fully enclosed and an open-air environment.

T-STAR Technology Advantages
High-Strength Steel Node System – T-STAR connectors are designed around 50×50 mm, 70×70 mm and 100×100 mm steel T-profiles, creating rigid node connections for glazed domes, skylights and other complex steel structures.
Engineered for Large, Complex Geometries – VikingDome designs custom glazed structures from 1 m to 50 m in diameter, including domes, skylights, façades, ellipses, tunnels, zomes and torus geometries.
Built for Demanding Environments – VikingDome steel and glass structures can be engineered for snow loads of up to 6 kN/m² and corrosion-protection systems up to C5M marine class, with a total protective coating thickness of 260–360 μm.
Integrated Motorized Windows – Motorized operable windows can be integrated for natural ventilation and smoke extraction. Available with 24V, 110V, or 230V drives and integration with building's fire alarm systems.
The window frame is integrated into the aluminium transom using EPDM gaskets, sealants and insulation to create a weather-tight connection with the surrounding glazing.
Who is this for?
This service is for architects, engineers, and construction companies involved in projects with parametric or curved glazed façades, skylights, or domes. Our streamlined process saves you time and reduces the need to coordinate multiple suppliers.
Typical applications include shopping malls, office buildings, hotels, airports, museums, and other commercial or institutional developments.
