Inspired by the Prairie Style architecture of Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, the circa 1998 Thomas House, designed by Daniel Johnson, is a singular residence that incorporates the elemental power of native stone, wood, glass, and water to create a connection to nature not found in the design of traditional New England homes. Upon its completion, the home was hailed as having brought modern architecture to Norwich. The setting and the convenient location, hidden in plain sight just a short distance from the center of the Village, are key ingredients in the property's appeal. Rising above the banks of the Blood Brook, the home's orientation takes in the visual and auditory flow of the falling water below. An open-concept floor plan and a sense of space and volume combine to create dramatic interior spaces that bring the natural world inside. An open entry/kitchen/dining area, living room, first-floor primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms upstairs, two and a half baths, and ample studio/office space complete the interior. A two-car attached garage with a 'green roof' - well ahead of its time - provides direct entry and storage. Minutes to Dan and Whit's and every Upper Valley location while providing a refuge of peace and tranquility, the Thomas House offers a direct and immediate link to the natural world in the center of it all.
