What began as a small, dilapidated walkway around the house became a stunning outside lake view retreat. This extensive renovation completed the vision of a classical lakehouse with hidden amenities and attention to all the details. The Challenge: Seamlessly Blending the Old and New in a [...]
This Mid-century Modern house was born in a barn -- literally. Featured as the 1959 Indianapolis Home Show's model home, it was first constructed in a cattle barn at the Indiana Fairgrounds. And although many of its high-concept design elements (and original wiring) survived the decades in between, its compartmentalized floorplan (along [...]
When our client called us to ask if we could turn a 21-foot-diameter grain silo she'd just purchased into an artist studio and potting shed, we nearly squealed with excitement. Because upcycling a silo: How cool is that? The Challenge: Turning a Round, Metal Shell into a [...]
The line between remodeling and new construction is often a blurry one — and our renovation of a faded 1958 Sears kit home definitely crossed that line. Situated on a beautiful treed lot in Zionsville, the home’s foundation was solid enough to give us a starting point for extending its footprint to [...]
The first-floor master suite in our clients' 1990s Central Indiana home needed an update.

Our clients found the perfect tranquil, wooded spot for their dream home. The problem? It contained a small, 1958 ranch-style house that didn't fit their lifestyle. (And, in case you thought we got our files mixed up: Yes, those "before" and "after" photos really do belong to the same home renovation project.) [...]
Our clients wanted a fresh, inviting home with a touch of sophistication. Their 3-story condo's choppy floorplan required reconfiguration, including relocating the staircase that dominated the center of the space. So we took the condo back to its studs. Because sometimes the only place to start is over. [...]
Summer days in Indiana evoke images of outdoor gatherings: grilling, eating al fresco, splashing in the pool, and laughing together well into the evening hours as the kids chase fireflies in the yard. That was the dream we helped our clients realize with their new pool house. [...]
The perfect location doesn't always come with the perfect house. But that didn't stop our clients from envisioning a home they could nestle down into, now that their kids were grown. With lovely lake views to set the stage, our clients were ready to start fresh, with a home they renovated just [...]
