I had an uncle that lived in the hills above Willamina. They wanted a new house right where the old one was sited. So he built the new house around the old one and then tore it out. In practice it was awkward.
If you found a little house that you could draw a circle around without obstruction then you could put a freestanding dome over it and just take the roof and some walls off. You could wind up with something bigger than what my folks built at the coast.
I could show you how make one stronger and less expensive than theirs.
