The Sycamore residence is a 3,000 square foot home was designed in 2021 and built north of Indianapolis in Zionsville, Indiana. Every site has its limitations, and this one was no different whether it was battling existing shared lot lines, easements, or existing unknown underground buried supply lines.
The client requested an open floor plan to provide south facing natural light to cascade into the space to alleviate the need for a mass amount of ceiling light seen in the typical home. Multiple wall openings were created to absolutely flood the interior space of the home with natural light as seen in the photos. Tall ceilings were necessary for the client to create a more industrial feel with exposed HVAC ducts and massive ceiling fans instead of the typical 8′ ceiling with scattered can lights. A monochromatic color scheme was selected for the interior finishes. The marbled solid surface countertop differentiates itself from the off-white tones of the base cabinets and wall surfaces.
A variety of thoughtfully integrated aging-in-place features were seamlessly incorporated throughout the home, ensuring it remains comfortable, safe, and functional for the homeowner well into the future. These enhancements were intentionally selected to provide peace of mind—eliminating the need for major renovations or adjustments down the line should accessibility become a greater priority. From zero-threshold entries and wider doorways to strategically placed grab bars and barrier-free showers, each element was designed to support effortless mobility without compromising style.
The forward-thinking design of the Sycamore residence was the result of close, collaborative dialogue with the homeowner, focusing on their unique lifestyle, long-term goals, and personal routines. By truly understanding their present needs and anticipating future ones, we were able to craft a home that reflects their vision and adapts alongside them. The result is not just a beautifully customized living space—but a future-ready sanctuary they can enjoy with confidence for many years to come.
