That's what Fuller did with his Dymaxion Deployment Unit. He paired a smaller conical roof with a larger cylindrical wall and added compound curve panels to make a monocoque.

Dymaxion deployment unit
A Dymaxion deployment unit or Dymaxion House, is a structure designed in 1940 by Buckminster Fuller consisting of a 20-foot circular hut constructed of corrugated steel looking much like a yurt or the top of a metal silo. The interior was insulated and finished with wallboard, portholes and a door. The dome-like ceiling has a hole in the top and a cap for ventilation.
