KEM STUDIO has completed the ‘Homestead Residence’, a contemporary Mid-Century Modern inspired home in Prairie Village, Kansas, that was inspired by a house that once occupied the property.

The exterior of the house features materials like light buff brick, white stucco, and exposed concrete, all of which are accented by stained cedar.
