I've used Shelter-System's playadomes. They are not airtight but they do a good job minimizing dust, provided you leave the doors shut most of the time and prevent the wind from blowing into the dome.
I think a 6' tall hexayurt in the middle would be pretty sweet - the extra headroom would allow everybody to walk at full height, even out to the edge. The extra headroom would improve airflow, too.
