Morphology

doubledome + architecture

The meaning 'a style of architecture with two domes' is directly and transparently built from the constituents double + dome + architecture, so a learner who knows those words can infer the MWE’s meaning. The only minor issue is orthographic (written here as 'doubledome' rather than 'double-dome' or 'double dome'), but the compositional logic is clear and cross-linguistically common, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners.

Etymology

Doubledome architecture comes from double + dome: buildings with two round roofs, an inner dome that makes a high inside space and an outer dome that protects it. That's why the term means 'a style of building with two domes'.
