A wonderful experience—so good in fact that Gagan is now working on another project for me!
— Ken Kaiser, Kentucky

The home features 3 stories, inclusive of a basement and an attic. The main living space was on the spacious first floor, complete with a kitchen in the rear. The high ceilings and thick walls give this home a solid, homely feel. The client is an artist that uses the hexagonal room for a studio space. This allows them to have an abundance of light and inspiring views of the surrounding plains.
