It’s as if an unidentified flying object touched down in bucolic Redding, Ct., just 60 miles from Midtown Manhattan But the curious 3,100-square-foot sphere is actually a rare geodesic dome h…

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.

“There was always ongoing work, with all of that incredible woodwork and carving that took years,” observes his brother. “Virtually everything in the house is bespoke. 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.”

Connecticut family business shutting its doors after 11 years, blames inflation, cost of laborA small business owner in Connecticut is closing his family-oriented Italian restaurant after 11 years in business amid rising inflation and labor shortages. Mark Zommer spoke on 'Fox & Friends.' I didn't even get to open. I was in the process of opening a brewery in Brooklyn when covid hit. We were waiting for our liquor license to arrive. Due to the lockdowns put in place by our governor no new liquor licenses were issued. We couldn't afford the rent. We shut down. This place has great food too. I loved going there and been there a few times. I went there on my first date with my girl and we ate there about 2 days before she passed away. This place will always be remembered. Good job NedLamont 🫡
