From A Different Angle 2
This residence located in Zionsville, Indiana is home to a family of four that loves to entertain. The floor plan for the residential renovation was designed by looking at the space from a different angle, specifically a 45°angle. Because of this, the circulation of the space takes on unique forms, leading the occupants of the home through the main social gathering points and into the back yard which features a custom designeddeck.
