HOW ‘HOME’ HAPPENS
A house is a box of rooms. But a home is something more. It’s where families grow together. Where big dreams take shape. Where journeys are planned, and discoveries are made.
At Trade Design Studio, we don’t simply design houses. Our mission is to craft enduring, beautiful homes in historic Indianapolis neighborhoods. We understand our work will affect homeowners’ lives for years to come. We also understand it will affect other lives, too. A home, after all, is not an island. It is part of a neighborhood, and neighborhoods are at their best when the homes that occupy them honor their character and history.
With that in mind, Trade Design Studio specializes in designing contemporary homes that fit seamlessly into historic neighborhoods. By blending traditional styles with modern aesthetics and amenities, we craft homes that are connected to the past and equipped for the future.
