MY CURRENT HOME: 804 West Timberdell Rd, Norman, OK.

This is the home I’ve been renting for the past 2.5 years here in Norman. It’s near the museum and is one of my favorite houses which I’ve lived in. It may not be clear from the photos, but the interior of the house is a perfect hexagon. There is a hexagonal kitchen in the very center with 6 doors leaving it, one on each side (Pictured below). 4 doors go to bedrooms, and 2 go to a living room. There are no hallways in this house, so there is no wasted space. I was told this house was designed in the 60’s by an architecture professor here at OU.

The ceiling of this house is the roof, so there’s no attic, and this is very obvious when it rains. The rain is loud, but the sound is actually quite nice. Living in this house, you can really appreciate the symmetry and angles. Each room feels much more unique than your bog standard square room, and it is very quick to travel from any room to any other. There is a maximum of 2 doorways between any room, and never a hallway. In addition, living in this house with roommates, everything feels fair as each room is identical, and nowhere feels too secluded. Overall, it has been a pleasure to live here, and I will never forget my time in this house.
