oah Hawley, the Emmy Award-winning showrunner and creator of "Fargo" and "Alien: Earth," resides in Austin, Texas, with his wife Kyle. Their 4,500-square-foot home, built in 2017, features five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and no closets. This unconventional setup encourages the family to be selective about their belongings, promoting editing throughout the year.

    The couple's living room boasts a black rotating bookcase holding six novels written by Noah Hawley over the past 27 years, including his latest release, "Anthem." The book explores contemporary America in a near-future setting and delves into the challenges of preparing children to thrive in a world where reality is disputed.

    Noah Hawley's career path was not always straightforward. He initially aspired to be a musician but eventually found success as a screenwriter after working on various projects, including an alternative rock band and writing his first novel, "A Conspiracy of Tall Men." His wife, Kyle, is an artist and designer who has worked with the interior design firm Amity Worrel & Co. to create their home's unique spaces.

    The family gathers around a faux bois marble-finished wooden dining table in the kitchen for breakfast each morning. The room features a globe and a large chalkboard listing the week's activities, inspired by their children's Montessori school education. This led to Kyle Hawley creating a "How To" letterpress series, which demystifies complex concepts like cooking and career development.

    The exterior of the home showcases four bungalows, nicknamed the Calcasieu Cottages, built in 1936 by the Austin-based Calcasieu Lumber Company. Two of these cottages connect to the main house, with one serving as the couple's bedroom and the other being remodeled.

    Noah Hawley's production company, 26 Keys, is housed in a nearly 5,900-square-foot office near Austin's Capitol building. The space features offices, conference rooms, a library, editing suites, and a soundproofed theater. A custom-designed screening room within the office boasts a vintage Herman Miller velvet Chiclet sofa picked out by Kyle Hawley.

    Noah Hawley has created five seasons of "Fargo," an anthology loosely based on the Coen brothers' 1996 Oscar-winning film of the same name. He enjoys adapting familiar and prestigious intellectual property into television series, citing risk as part of ambition. A baseball he keeps on location serves as a reminder to play and be creative during filming.

    In his office library, designed for local creatives, the couple's extensive book collection is organized by subject and genre. Props from each season of "Fargo" are scattered throughout the space, including a puppet of Jon Hamm and Juno Temple from Season 5 and a fedora signed by every cast member whose character Noah Hawley killed off in Season 4.
