Live-work expansion has been approved at 545 S East Street in the Fletcher Place/Holy Rosary Neighborhood by City of Indianapolis across from the Eli Lilly and Company headquarters.
We applied for and received a variance to expand the existing upper levels living component so that it becomes the predominant use from a square footage perspective. City also approved the Regional Center application without resistance or remonstrance.
We are looking forward to completing the balance of the design for permitting and starting the construction phase. Please see the project page for more images and ongoing storyline. We’ll be adding updates as we do, so please check-back!

We’re so happy to announce that Tom Wechsler has joined us as Construction Manager.

We have been collaborating on construction projects with Tom for over 20 years. In fact, Tom has been PM for some of our best projects over the years (check-out Shingle Style Lakehouse + Adagio).

We are so happy how Grandview is turning-out (nestled in the trees).
The pre-existing tree canopy and lakeside location is such an idyllic setting.
So much work goes into dreaming and creating a work of architecture. Working with our clients to come-up with the design concept, then the key details may only get you 25% there.
You have to have really great communication between Owner, Architect, and Construction Team from beginning-to-end to get you to the finish-line. We are almost to a-hundred!
We have moved our studio to G BLOC in Broad Ripple North Village right next to the Monon Trail!
It’s been a long COVID-influenced, socially-distanced 12 months, and we are very much looking forward to the future. In fact, we are all back together in one space again!
Although we are still keeping socially distanced (for the most-part), it’s great to be able to communicate and collaborate with team members in-person again.
If you are in the area, please stop by G BLOC for a visit!
Grandview Lakehouse is progressing nicely in Columbus, Indiana.
This design was greatly influenced by previous issues with the former structure on the site (water-related).
Check-out the updated story highlighting the ongoing progress!
Crazy details are coming together for this Scandinavian-influenced interior build-out in the Traders Point area.
We are not sure we have achieved this level of precision previously. In fact, our trim carpenters told us that due to the intensity of the details on this project, we can only do one like this every three years. We must have worn them out!
We can’t wait to wrap the final 10% and share. This is a must-see, so please come back for a look later in the new year.

We are working through the finer details now, including final interior fixtures, finishes, and bridge details. Stay tuned for more updates!
