Actually it is. Typical Oregon Dome design on a 1 1/2 story riser wall. The first kit out of Oregon Dome's factory was a 35 foot dome in the South Hills of Eugene, perched on the roof of an L-shaped box, making it more of an addition.
It has the benefit of a clear span roof, but they cut the interior up with a zoned plan (hallways)
The sloped eyebrow canopy over the half-hexes was an Oregon Dome innovation. I laid out the dimensions and they were cut from 1 1/8th" plywood.
If you go into the Bayshore subdivision North of Waldport and take the upper loop, you might see the 39 foot dome my parents built in 1980:
It was pretty overgrown with foliage last I saw.
