The once-confined rooms, with their limited natural light and restrictive layout, have given way to a new sense of freedom and connectivity. The space feels inviting, comfortable, and stylish, perfectly reflecting the homeowner's personality and preferences. The Challenge: Opening the First Floor with the Structural Integrity [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
