AdvertisementAs for Noren, he pulled together a collection of friends and craftspeople — some described by his brother as “weed-smoking, talented hippies” — to help build the unique structure.
“My brother had a fascination with Buckminster Fuller, and thought the design of the geodesic dome was beautiful,” recalled attorney Ronald Noren, who was four years younger than his brother. “And over the course of time, most of my brother’s life, he was working on the dome. It was a very, VERY long process.
Eccentric millionaire Ray Noren built the home, working on it for many years to get the details just right.Noren was inspired by the architecture of futurist Buckminster Fuller, including his Dymaxion House.A college dropout who oversaw the design and construction without an architect or engineer, Ray Noren was a perfectionist obsessed with getting every detail correct.

The woodworking in the house is absolutely amazing. And there’s a large Asian influence, just his vision of what he wanted. Even things like hinges were handmade.
“I can’t think of anything I’ve looked at in that house that was off the shelf. It was ALL custom … It was just an enormous amount of labor. If my brother had not passed, he’d still be living in that dome. He would have gone out feet first under all circumstances.”
