Spherical Block, LLC draws on the ancient idea of a masonry arch to create a new way of building, using the latest advanced technology of concrete block manufacturing. The company has developed an innovative masonry system which can be used to build an entire building, including roofs. This system can assemble round arches, pointed arches, Gothic arches and windows, domes, spheres, flying buttresses and more. This masonry technology is very strong, inexpensive and easily assembled. Using just a few unit shapes, it is able to create a large number of different designs. The company’s designs incorporate reinforcement bar (rebar) which helps create a stronger, tougher building which can be assembled without extensive support scaffolding or centering. This masonry system is largely self-supporting as it is assembled.
