The entire team at Old Town Design Group is looking forward to presenting their show home in the upcoming 2020 First Internet Bank Home-A-Rama at Holliday Farms, says John Bain, President/CEO. “Holliday Farms, with it’s unique blend of rolling hills and wooded terrain, provides a perfect backdrop to our 6 H AV E N

new model,” Bain continues. “The view of the golf course from the outdoor living area, featuring a unique twist of fire pit and fireplace, is a perfect respite from a busy lifestyle.”

This year’s Home-A-Rama will feature 11 incredible homes in the stunning new community of Holliday Farms,

a luxury custom home community and Pete Dye designed golf course, located in the heart of Zionsville.

Located on Holliday Farms Blvd, the Old Town Design Group home is 7,548 square-feet with five beds and five and half baths. “While considering the design direction for this project, we took a transitional approach to traditional European architecture,” Nate Weiss, Architectural Designer says. “This includes a symmetrical front facade, steeper rooflines, tall windows, and a predominantly masonry exterior. Contemporary elements including a divided light metal front door, bronze windows, and painted brick blend seamlessly with these classic details creating a fresh variation of a beautiful architectural style.”

There are many features that set this home apart and take advantage of the views, including a 10 foot tall fixed frame window wrapping the dining room and a 15 foot wide sliding glass door that goes from a great room to an outdoor living space.

Other highlights include a retractable television in the great room, an elevated library with floor to ceiling built-in bookcases, a truly unique theater wall, and a unique outdoor fire table and wall.

Inside the home, Old Town Design Group wanted to maintain an open floorplan while utilizing different ceiling heights and architectural elements to define and personalize each space. For the interior finishes and selections of the Home-A-Rama house, Old Town Design Group collaborated with Wendy Langston of Everything Home, who wanted to create spaces with a modern, organic appeal. Although in the kitchen, the black and brass appliances are rooted in Parisian Euro design.

In describing the home, Langston says that, “It’s really a remarkable opportunity to create transformative spaces and places for living. This home is no exception. People attending Home-A-Rama will enjoy the experience of the home, the thoughtful design, and how you feel in it. They will notice how the light bounces and the collective features inspire you while they bring you rest.”

Bain noted that Old Town Design Group brings a team approach to home building in order to deliver an exceptional building experience.

“We believe that the building process should be transparent and most importantly, enjoyable.”

Look for the Old Town Design Group house at The Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis (BAGI) First Internet Bank Home-A-Rama Sept.18-20; Sept. 24-27; and Oct. 1-4, 2020.

WINDOW TREATMENTS

DRAPERY STREET:

Introducing…

FUSION SHADES

Beautiful light fabric matches the interior of the home.

Draperies were paired with the Fusion Shades for blackout capabilities.

8 H AV E N

Just as a simple black frame is an excellent contrast to a work of art, black window frames on the exterior of a home provide a pop of interest that builds curb appeal and amplifies visual impact. And black window frames are more than a passing craze. They have made a welcome resurgence and are here to stay as they are flexible enough to accommodate a variety of home styles, including both modern and farmhouse styles.

Because many black window frames are actually white on the inside of the home, this can create a challenge for window treatments. Do you match the inside or outside frame color?

The answer is both!

FUSION SHADES Drapery Street’s unique process of fusing a black exterior-facing fabric and white or light interior-facing fabric eliminates the issue. What was once a perplexing problem in the world of window treatments is now solved by Fusion Shades.

Fusion Shades blend seamlessly with both the interior and exterior of your window frames. Here’s how it works:

THE BEAUTY OF FUSION SHADES IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE LINING OF THE SHADE IS DARK, THE FRONT SIDE REMAINS LIGHT AND BRIGHT, AND DEPENDING ON THE OPACITY OF THE SHADE YOU CHOOSE, IT WILL STILL ALLOW LIGHT TO FILTER IN.

1 CHOOSE YOUR TYPE OF SHADE. Depending on your unique window and style preference, you can choose Roman or roller shades.

The Fusion Shades blend seamlessly into the window frames, resulting in a pleasing reflection and privacy for the homeowner.

2 CHOOSE THE COLOR OF THE FRONT OF YOUR SHADES THAT WILL BE VISIBLE FROM THE INSIDE. It can be matched to your wall color, the window frame color, or whatever you choose. There are hundreds of fabrics in Drapery Street’s showroom that can be used with the Roman shade and the roller shade solution has ten variations of white options.

3 CHOOSE THE COLOR OF YOUR LINING, WHICH WILL BE SEEN FROM THE STREET SIDE. This is generally black, but the roller shade solution also has a bronze exterior facing side option.

The beauty of Fusion Shades is that even though the lining of the shade is dark, the front side remains light and bright, and depending on the opacity of the shade you choose, it will still allow light to filter in.

From the street the shades fully blend into the window frames. Privacy is accomplished without sacrificing style. Neighbors can admire your home’s exterior without getting an accidental peek inside.

INCORPORATE TECHNOLOGY INTO YOUR DESIGN There’s more to Fusion Shades than just stunning design. These beautiful shades can also be installed using the latest in motorization technology. Using Alexa or Google, you can control your shades to open or close with the tap of an app or simple voice control commands. Or, you can program your shades to operate on a fixed schedule or automatically adjust to local sunrise and sunset times.

Are you ready to be wowed by your window treatments? Find inspiration at draperystreet.com or reach out to Drapery Street at (317) 399-1746 to schedule a complimentary design consultation.

CUSTOM HOME DESIGN

ACo Partners with AR Homes by Christopher Scott

Gorgeous Custom Homes

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / photos courtesy of AR Homes

After ten years as a leading custom home builder in the Indianapolis area, in 2015 the owners of Christopher Scott Homes were approached by Arthur Rutenberg (AR) Homes to become an independently owned and operated franchise of AR Homes, Inc. Owners Christopher Carnell and Scott Bates were intrigued by the offer. With AR Homes, Christopher Scott is able to offer a new, easier way to build a custom home. One that gets customers exactly what they want with a fixed price that keeps them on budget.

1 0 H AV E N

BUILDING A FIRST-CLASS CLIENT EXPERIENCE Dan Hayes, who joined the team three years ago as the Building Company President for the franchise, began collaborating with David Decker, owner of ACo, along with Joe Evans, ACo Vice President of Operations. Now ACo is the exclusive flooring and tile provider for the AR Homes side of Hayes’ company.

“Relationships are everything in custom home building. Chris, Scott, and Dan are most certainly our clients, but they’re also our friends,” says Evans.

“Our desire to provide a first-class experience for the client is something that bonds ACo with AR Homes.”

For example, during the pandemic, product discontinuation has been an issue, but ACo has stepped up to the plate.

“I can’t wait six months to get tile on a house I have to have finished in three months,” says Hayes.

“It’s great to be able to have my customers meet with Joe at the ACo showroom. He understands what all our pricing levels and structures are so he can lead them to a replacement that’s similar and at the same price point.”

Evans points out the importance of being nimble in their approach to client needs since the global supply chains are ever-changing.

“Communication is key to providing solutions for AR Homes and their clients,” says Evans. “By staying in touch with industry trends and client needs, we can manage the build in a way that meets timing goals while keeping design and budget considerations at the forefront.”

CREATING GORGEOUS CUSTOM HOMES AR Homes just opened a new model home in Chatham Hills called the Prestwick that boasts a master bath sanctuary with a raised bathing area and beautiful tile backdrop. The stone and tile fireplace on the back patio, overlooking the 13th hole of Chatham Hills Golf Course, provides a majestic view for relaxing with a cup of coffee early in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The open first-floor plan provides an excellent entertainment space with its large island seating area, main level bar space, and family room with beautiful Chene Lambrusco hardwoods from Urban Floors throughout. ACo used the same flooring to add an inlaid chevron accent above the fireplace.

They are also working with ACo on building AR Homes newest model, the Newport, for the

“Our desire to provide a first-class experience for the client is something that bonds ACo with AR Homes.”

– JOE EVANS ACo, Vice President of Operations

2020 Home-A-Rama in Holliday Farms.

“It’s quite modern – very angular. It definitely looks different than anything else that’s out there,” says Hayes. “As soon as you walk in, you’re struck by the massive beam work and the large steel and glass floating staircase that sits at a large 26 ft. tall window area.”

The entire home is breathtaking, and that’s due, in part, to the high-quality flooring and tile

by ACo. It’s simplistic in design as the house is modernist with clean lines. The hickory floors provide a warm and welcoming feel throughout the entire first floor and upstairs hall and loft areas. The master sanctuary offers an atmosphere of calm and relaxation with its open space, freestanding tub, and large walk-in shower covered throughout by Daltile’s River Marble polished River Rapids tile.

“Newport is special because there really aren’t many suburban options for this type of design

consideration at this price point,” says Evans. “This particular model brings innovation from the AR Homes design team to one of the most desirable new communities in the Indianapolis area. It’s a real pleasure to participate in such a unique build!”

When you embark on a journey to build a custom home, you want to work with a builder you can trust who has built solid relationships with all of their vendors, like AR Homes and ACo. To learn more about building with AR Homes or to schedule a tour at the model home in Chatham Hills, call (317) 430-2642, or connect with ACo at liveACo.com to schedule a design consultation.

BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF GREATER INDIANAPOLIS

President’s Message The Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis is thrilled to present this year’s First Internet Bank Home-A-Rama. This show will be incredible, featuring eleven custombuilt, fully decorated and landscaped homes in Zionsville’s beautiful Holliday Farms neighborhood. These homes, built by BAGI members, showcase all the latest trends in technology, design, outdoor living and landscaping and much more.

This year we are offering two fantastic ways for you to experience these homes.

In addition to the traditional onsite tour, we are thrilled to be offering a brand new interactive virtual tour experience for First Internet Bank Home-A-Rama guests as well! This virtual tour experience will include video walkthroughs, 3D tours that include details about many of the furnishings and selections throughout the houses, voting for your favorite house, the chance to ask questions, interact, and save visual elements you like, and much more. All guests who attend the show onsite will also gain access to this interactive experience upon completion of their tour, and separate tickets will be available through our website for those who wish to only experience the show virtually.

For the safety of our guests, ticket sales this year will be available ONLY through advanced purchase on our website. There will be no tickets sold onsite and we will not accept walk-ups. To further increase the social distancing onsite and stagger the arrivals of our guests, these tickets are being sold by arrival time blocks in order to best anticipate, plan for, and appropriately manage the number of people onsite at a time.

Many proactive precautions and cleaning measures are also being taken to provide the safest experience possible for our guests.

We hope that between the virtual experience and the increased intentionality taking place onsite, that everyone will still get to experience and enjoy all that First Internet Bank Home-A-Rama has to offer!

Finally to our members: we continue to be amazed by your demonstration of adaptability and ingenuity as we adjust our businesses during this uncertain time. Keep up the fantastic work! As you’ve seen in recent member communications, BAGI is also offering a variety of plug-in points to stay engaged and keep making the most out of your membership during this time.

A jewel in Holliday Farms’ crown is the Championship 18-Hole Golf Course and 9-Hole Executive Course. Designed by the legendary course architect Pete Dye and his wife, Alice, both courses are inspired by nature. Dye was renowned for integrating the unique features of the land into his designs, and he did so here at Holliday Farms.

Meander through tree-canopied trails along Eagle Creek to Turkey Foot Trail, which gives you access to the Downtown Village in Zionsville. Parks also dot the landscape, and you are free to explore on foot, bike, or golf cart. Holliday Farms is a welcoming neighborhood for homebuyers at all stages of life and is a serene refuge from the cares of the world.

City of Zionsville It is hard to imagine a more idyllic setting than Zionsville, Indiana. Charming, historic, and full of character, this small city offers some of the most enviable living in the Midwest and beyond. Located in the southeastern corner of Boone County, and with a population of just about 28,000, Zionsville has plenty of “small town” charm. You can tell a lot about a location from its downtown and Zionsville’s Main Street features an eclectic mix of one-of-a-kind boutiques and shops, art galleries featuring work from nationally renowned artists, and everything from locally owned Italian, American, Japanese, and Mexican restaurants to friendly neighborhood taverns.

Zionsville was named the Chamber of Commerce’s “Best Cities to Live in Indiana” in 2019, SafeWise’s “Indiana’s 20 Safest Cities of 2018,” and one of the “Most Charming Small Towns in Every State” by Reader’s Digest. It is also an Arbor Day Foundation “Tree City USA” community and a Bronze level Bicycle Friendly Community (League of American Bicyclists).

The schools are nationally recognized as among the best in Indiana, the business sector is thriving, and the quality of life is enviable, to say the least!

There are 17 parks with 400 acres of beautiful greenspace, popular recreational facilities like Lions Park, and an ongoing schedule of festivals, outdoor concerts, and events. With such a variety of amenities and activities, there is always something to do in Zionsville.

In Zionsville, you get the best of all worlds: close proximity to all small-town vibe.

HERE’S HOW IT BREAKS DOWN: RED. I am following not only the CDC guidelines, but I am taking extra steps to distance myself from any kind of in-person, public activity currently. I am sticking to phone calls and virtual interactions right now.

YELLOW. I am cautious right now and am following CDC guidelines. I am still going about everyday business, but am being safe in doing so. I go to public events, but am cautious about when I choose to go out. And, I always have a mask and hand sanitizer with me.

GREEN. I am comfortable interacting and continuing on business as usual. I have no reservations about in-person activities.

EXPERTS

at Installing Every Kind of Foundation

“We love what we do and are honored to get the chance to work on these gorgeous homes.”

– JASON ELLS Custom Concrete

From the smallest room addition to the largest industrial building, the seasoned experts at Custom Concrete are skilled at installing every kind of foundation. This 1,800 square foot single-family home built in southern Indiana is an example of their excellent work.

“This lot had an extreme terrain, so navigating and forming the 200 ft. of 24"x12" footings, installed on limestone rock, was difficult,” says Jason Ells, Senior Vice President of Custom Concrete. With the use of their computer-aided design (CAD) program and Total Station layout tools, they were able to install the footings with precision.

Since the property overlooks a beautiful lake, the owners wanted to take full advantage of the scenic landscape by building a fourseason room on the back.

“With an abundance of topographical fall, we were able to install a walk-out basement to complement both the lot’s terrain and view,” states Ells. Due to the severe fall of the grade toward the lake, they had to build a 20-ft. wall.

With all their projects, they start by shooting the elevations of the lot so they can construct the most accurate proposal possible.

“This also allows us to create 3-D CAD drawings so that our production teams can be best prepared to tackle the job,” says Ells.

“The 3-D drawings also help us explain to our customer what the finished product will look like.” This includes the grade, wall heights, grade downs, windows, and more.

VIRTUAL LEARNING

DIGITAL SIGHT & SOUND:

Create the Perfect

E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT and Eliminate Distractions

by Matt Keating

Utilizing technology and dedicated spaces for learning or working in a home has never been more critical than it is today. Homeowners are looking for constructive ways to enhance and improve their child’s room, family study area, or home office with custom audio or visual design that is both efficient and useful.

Ray Rice, Owner of Digital Sight & Sound, said, “The technology in your home goes far beyond just a stable internet. From noise-cancelling headphones to proper webcam and blue-light blocking glasses, the list is getting longer for what homeowners need to have in order to create an appropriate work or learning environment.”

With more students expected to learn from home this year, here are a few tips to ensure your child’s success.

+ Noise Cancelling Headphones. The noise-cancelling headphones are essential for students that have younger siblings in the house, or parents are also working at home, as the slightest distraction can impact schoolwork.

+ Dedicated Space for Learning. Having a dedicated space for each student/child will help them focus on the task and eliminate distractions. Decorate their work area to showcase your child’s own personality to ensure they feel comfortable studying outside the classroom.

+ A Good Webcam. A separate, high-quality webcam can help students when teachers

take class attendance during Zoom meetings. Webcams also enable students to be able to talk face to face with their teachers if they are having trouble with an assignment.

+ Blue-Light Blocking Glasses. The blue-light reading glasses help kids who have been staring at their screens all day. Students go back and forth all day from their Chrome books to their smartphones, computer screens, and televisions. Blue-light blocking glasses help alleviate eye strain associated with extended screen time.

“You also need a (computer) monitor that is large enough to have two working windows up, one for instruction – one for the work they are doing, and a well-organized work area for e-learning only,” Rice recommends.

To get your child’s room or home office ready for successful e-learning with highquality audio and video, contact Digital Sight & Sound at (317) 848-0101, or visit dssindy.com.

ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE

BURTNER ELECTRIC:

GET A COMPLETE INSPECTION to Prevent Electrical Problems

by Matt Keating

2 4 H AV E N

Electrical inspections aren’t just for selling your home.

If you have light switches that don’t work, or lights that flicker in the kitchen or bedrooms, it’s time to call a professional electrician.

David Burtner of Burtner Electric, Inc., says it is always a good idea to do preventative maintenance, and have electrical inspections done before electrical problems get worse.

“You really need a licensed electrician to come to your home and make sure everything in your electrical system is working correctly,” Burtner says. “Older homes can have aging technology that can cause big problems in an electrical system, and they can also have outdated electrical panels. They may not be able to adequately handle voltage loads or won’t trip beakers when a problem occurs.”

Loose electrical connections can also lead to heat, and heat can lead to fire. Burtner Electric will inspect every aspect of a home’s electrical system, including all outlets.

Hot outlets and hot breakers should also be checked right away. If a breaker is too hot, it can mean the voltage load is too high, according to Burtner. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) can also be a problem.

GFCI outlets are vital, especially when an outlet shuts off electrical flow when coming in contact with water.

“If it’s been more than 10 years since your last inspection, or your circuit breaker is tripping regularly, it’s also time to call an electrician,” Burtner stated. “If you also have recently had a major electrical repair, there might be a bigger problem.”

“If it’s been more than 10 years since your last inspection, or your circuit breaker is tripping regularly, it’s time to call an electrician.”

– DAVID BURTNER Owner, Burtner Electric

Burtner noted that having a complete electrical safety inspection will also evaluate how much load is being placed on your circuit breaker and will examine the physical conditions of the wiring in your home.

“Professional electricians keep up with changes in the electrical code, which can range from additional outlets in a room, to increased safety requirements, such as upgrading from aluminum wiring or installing GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens,” Burtner said.

To get a thorough electrical inspection, contact Burtner Electric at 317-773-7663 or visit BurtnerElectric.com.

CUSTOM HOMES

G&G CUSTOM HOMES:

It’s All in the ( Trim )

DETAILS

by Courtney Walker Pope

What makes a custom home truly custom to you and your family? It is the details that you choose and give your home design your personal touch. From your flooring or countertop selections, to lighting and specialty tile, details set your home apart from the neighbor’s. Although those selections do make it your own – one feature local custom builder, G&G Custom Homes, strives to include are custom trim details. After walking through any of G&G’s homes or checking out their online portfolio, trim details are an immediate feature to notice.

“Nearly every one of our homes include a detailed trim package, but some of our personal favorites to add are ceiling beams in a great room, master bedroom feature walls, and even the occasional “jib” or (literally) hidden door (leading to wherever the homeowner desires),” said G&G Custom Homes owner and residential building expert, Joe Garcia.

Each project is, of course, very unique with details throughout the home and G&G is equipped to create any trim feature a homeowner desires. Explaining the process, Garcia expands, “We walk through with the homeowner and our trim carpenter draws every cabinet, wall, beam, etc. the homeowner wants or has a picture of. From there, our customer’s homes reveal beautiful ship lap walls, quality hickory stained treads, substantial beams, built-ins to hold memories and even work files, walls panels, hidden doors, wine rooms, floating shelves and so much more!”

Although there’s a cost to additional millwork and trim details, the price is well worth the investment because it makes a home so unique and the craftsmanship is truly unforgettable. “Of course, these features add value along with cost, but it truly makes the home by adding the upgrades,” said Garcia.

If you’re in the market for a custom build with expansive millwork and trim details, connect with G&G Custom Homes at 317-418-7665 or ggcustomhomes.com to start a conversation. You can also book tickets for the upcoming 2020 BAGI First Internet Bank Home-A-Rama at Holliday Farms in Zionsville, Indiana, planned to open on September 18th, where G&G Custom Homes is one of this year’s featured builders.

G&G’s home will have many wonderful examples of their expansive custom work to see for yourself!

HOT COLORS for Summer & Fall

As the heat of the summer fades and we look toward the crisp days of fall, designers have noticed the same hot trends in recent months. While quartz products like Caesarstone, Polarstone, Silestone, and Q Quartz are still trending toward the top, natural stone is the number one seller for summer and fall.

Back in the spring, Cory Kroger, CEO and President of Stone Artisans, and his team began working on design 2 8 H AV E N

selections for projects that would be installed in the late summer and early fall.

“We partner with some of the most creative folks in the market,” says Kroger, who found that they all were landing on the same color and design palettes throughout their meetings. “Classic stone colors with different finishes seemed to be the right fit for many of the projects while other [clients] wanted to see the flare of the latest quartzite

slab to grab the attention in the room.”

Clients are leaning toward solid colors that add depth such as matte blacks versus polished.

In addition, suede finished granites and quartzite offer more interesting textures that the top designers seek.

All of these trends echo what Kroger and his team are assembling for the 2020 Home-ARama in Holliday Farms of Zionsville. Stone Artisans is supplying materials for several of the luxury homes featured on the tour.

“The Home-A-Rama is a great opportunity for homeowners to see what’s trending now,” says Kroger. There is a great benefit to seeing these colors and textures in person rather than in a photo or as a showroom sample.

If you’re looking to build or remodel a space, contact the trusted team at Stone Artisans online at stone-artians.com. And be sure to check out their work at the First Internet Bank Home-A-Rama September 18-20, 24-27, & October 1-4.

CALIA STONE BOUTIQUE specializes in a unique selection of quartzite, marble, granite from all over the world. Ability to hand select pieces for your perfect design to make your home come to life. Stocking over 140 colors the selection they offer sets them apart from most suppliers. To view full live inventory please visit caliastone.com.

HOME-A-RAMA

BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF GREATER INDIANAPOLIS:

Next-Level Awesome BAGI Implements Revolutionary Technology for 2020 Home-A-Rama

I

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / photos by Juan Guillan

t’s safe to say that 2020 will go down in history as a year we will never forget. While much of the country was forced to close their doors and hunker down, those in the construction industry were building homes and ramping up, keeping busier than ever to help make homeowners happy.

“It’s really interesting the way that housing hasn’t slowed down, particularly in our market,” says Kristen Bowen, Director of Communications and Special Events with the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis (BAGI). “People have been cooped up in their homes, spending a lot of time overanalyzing the things they don’t like about their house. [As a result,] they start thinking about new homes and the opportunities to customize exactly what they want.”

When it comes to home design, folks are installing expansive windows to let natural light pour in, blending the indoor & outdoor spaces to make it feel more expansive. Another trend centers around creating ample space for aging relatives as multigenerational living has become increasingly popular, as well as a variety of home office and study spaces.

Homeowners today crave smart technology, and with the onset of COVID-19, they seek touchless controls in faucets, motion-sensor lights, and voice commands. Also, since people are eating at home more

“Today’s buyers are increasingly aware of their ever-changing home needs, and you can expect to see those trends represented in these homes.”

often these days, they are interested in building supersized pantries that enable them to organize.

Homeowners are also investing in their HVAC systems now, more than ever, they want to make sure the air in their home is filtered properly.

Today’s buyers are informed and have clarity regarding their desires. That, coupled with the shortage of existing homes on the market and lowinterest rates, makes now a phenomenal time to buy a newly constructed home.

Luckily, the 2020 First Internet Bank HomeA-Rama is right around the corner. And while many events over the past six months have been canceled, organizers of this event have gone to great lengths to ensure a safe & exciting experience. Not only will there be ongoing sanitation of each home as well as cleaning all public areas, benches, and bathrooms, but also the way tickets are being sold this year – online and in 30-minute increments in limited quantities – will

ensure that capacities adhere to health department expectations.

“Say I wanted to go to the show on the first day and be the first one there. I would buy the 12-12:30 arrival time block ticket and show up within that timeframe,” explains Bowen, noting that this system helps them monitor the number of people who are onsite at a time.

In addition, windows will often be open in the homes to create more airflow, and outdoor spaces such as patios and garages will be utilized to spread out conversations among attendees. The event site – Holliday Farms in Zionsville – covers ten acres, and each of the 11 featured homes is more than 5,000 sq. ft. so there is plenty of space for participants to socially distance both inside and outside the homes..

This year BAGI is also implementing revolutionary changes in technology that will make this and all future Home-A-Ramas extra special.

“I can’t tell you how often someone calls the office and says something like, ‘I went to the 2002 Home-A-Rama. I’m ready to build now. Can you tell me who Builder #4 was?’” says Bowen.

“Now attendees will have such information archived – and not just builder info but going as deep as, say, recalling who the supplier for a particular countertop was.”

The BAGI team saw this as a progressive opportunity not just to adapt for COVID-19 but to really build something moving into the future that would last.

“We certainly don’t look at the virtual experience as a band-aid or a Plan B,” says Bowen.

“This really is next-level awesome and a great resource for both in-person attendees and those who are unable to join us on-site this year.”

Interactive 3-D Matterports allow visitors to tour the homes and click on tags that interest them to obtain specific product and vendor information.

“We have more information available for people at their fingertips than we ever have before,” says Bowen.

Participants can save photos to a “favorites” file – in effect, building their own vision board.

It’s interesting to follow interior design trends sweeping the nation and now, in the Midwest, we are looking at color! ACo is well equipped to help you love where you live providing desirable colors and unique patterns in their new showroom inside Hub & Spoke in Fishers. ACo Designer Mia Farrell and Virginia Tile Sales Representative Cody Burgess walk us through ACo’s feature walls displaying Virginia Tile and Terra Bella, both readily available for your next project!

“Virginia Tile is a 92-year-old company, founded in Virginia. Since the 1920’s depression, the company moved to Detroit, purchased two other companies and we are now proudly the largest tile distributor in the United States,” explains Burgess. “What’s great about the Virginia Tile wall at ACo is that it allows a homeowner to decide their color palette and what they hope to achieve.

From there, we can look at the back of each tile with a QR code to understand the other parts and pieces, as well as find color coordinating tiles.”

Farrell says, “It definitely does simplify the process! We have homeowners come in all the time requesting a specific color and we start with this Virginia Tile wall to narrow in.” The QR code even shares full installation pictures so a homeowner can visualize how it might look in their own home.

“There is section of the wall that is all porcelain, so the tile can be used inside or out. With many families desiring more time outdoors, this is a great material to consider,” says Burgess.

Another unique tile collection on display at ACo is Terra Bella – a female owned and operated company. “The company owner was renovating her own home and decided there weren’t enough unique marble options available. She traveled abroad and found some of the most beautiful marbles to bring back to the United States, creating unique, yet timeless tile designs,” says Farrell.

“Some of the geometric styles have so much character, combining metal accents and softer marble.

It’s gorgeous as a backsplash because it can play off the metal of plumbing fixtures and cabinet hardware. You can actually see this in action in the shared kitchen at Hub & Spoke!”

More than fifty percent of the Virginia Tile wall at ACo is fabricated in the United States making it readily available to ship for your next project. The designers at ACo would love to show you around their brand-new design studio at Hub & Spoke located off 106th street in Fishers. To schedule a consultation or tour, contact the showroom at 317-575-9540 or for more information visit liveaco.com.

The Value of Replacing Your Garage Door for

Better Home Efficiency

by Christy Heitger-Ewing

4 0 H AV E N

Typically, a garage door will let you know when its season has passed. It’s either an eyesore, having sustained dents, scratches, or fading, or it’s making an irritating grinding sound each time it opens and closes. Keeping efficiency in mind when you choose a new garage door can add great value.

Thankfully, these days options are plentiful.

Homeowners can choose from non-insulated to super-insulated polyurethane foam doors with R-values as high as 20. (A higher R-value means you’ll have a warmer garage in the winter and cooler garage in the summer.)

“In short, you can greatly improve the efficiency in your home,” explains Joel Belyew, President of Precision Door Service of Indianapolis. Before making a purchase, homeowners should consider the layout of the home. For instance, if you have two interior walls that meet the garage or a living space above the garage, it’s wise to install an insulated door. Plus, some homeowners have water lines, water softeners, water heaters, or furnaces located in their garage.

“When these important mechanical parts of your home are located in your garage, they’re vulnerable to extreme temperatures,” says Belyew.

“Not only are you going to protect them a lot better with a more controlled temperature, but you’re also going to make them run a lot more efficiently.”

If a homeowner has a non-insulated garage door and their garage is 40 degrees, the water heater is going to struggle to do its job.

“In a situation like that, a well-insulated door will pay for itself,” says Belyew, noting that it helps to insulate the walls of the garage, too. “You can install an insulated door and if your walls aren’t insulated, you’re not going to accomplish a lot.”

In addition to energy efficiency, replacing an old or outdated garage door will improve the value of your home.

“If you pull up to a house and the garage door is in terrible shape, that makes a bad first impression,” says Belyew. “Installing a new door design that complements your house greatly improves curb appeal, thereby increasing the value of the home.”

Learn more about your options for a more efficient garage door, call Precision Door Service of Indianapolis to schedule a consultation.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL Keeping efficiency in mind when choosing a new garage door can add great value. According to Joel Belyew, president of Precision Door, when the important mechanical parts of your home are located in your garage, they’re vulnerable to extreme temperatures. A more controlled temperature will protect them and make them run more efficiently.

CALIFORNIA CLOSETS:

MUDROOMS

Creating Intentional Organization to Fit Clients’ Needs

by Christy Heitger-Ewing

When it comes to running a household, the name of the game is order – hence, the saying, “A place for everything and everything in its place.”

Especially in busy households with children, crazy morning and afternoon routines are a part of life. With custom designed mudrooms, however, organization reigns.

“When there’s mom, dad, and multiple kids, creating a bit of order while trying to manage a bunch of backpacks, shoes, homework, and sports equipment can be challenging,” says Erin Moore, Executive Designer at California Closets’ Carmel Showroom. “A mudroom can become an organizing and planning area.”

Traditionally, mudrooms are located near the garage, making it easy for family members to access them as they enter and exit the house.

“It’s a landing zone in that it’s the last thing you go to before leaving and the first thing you get to when you return,” says Moore.

There are several different ways to organize a mudroom depending on a family’s needs. Some people want closed doors over everything while others prefer a more open locker/cubby look.

Some clients have specific requests like a hidden litter box to be built into a bench. Whatever the request, the team at California Closets makes the design flow with rest of the house – sometimes by adding fun hardware or colorful inserts on doors.

“No matter the family dynamic, we can come up with a solution for any scenario,” says Moore.

For instance, if there’s not a dedicated space for a mudroom, they might take the doors off of a coat

closet and repurpose that space into a mudroomtype look with a bench or lockers. Another option is to build a wall unit outside the door in the garage.

“The garage is often where people like to keep heavy-duty sports equipment anyway,” says Moore. “Making intentional space creates forced organization, and that’s a great thing for everyone.”

Organize your ideal landing zone with a custom mudroom, schedule a consultation online with the design team at californiaclosets.com to get started.

HOME BUYING

“There has really been a big uptick in people wanting to either build, buy, or refinance. It’s an ideal time to take advantage of these historic low rates.”

RE/MAX AT THE CROSSING:

Record Low Interest Rates + More Homebuyers =

The Perfect Opportunity

by Matt Keating

Phil Hotle with RE/MAX at the Crossing says that record low mortgage rates have led to more people looking for a new home.

“There really has never been a better time to buy a house,” Hotle says. “First time homebuyers, or buyers looking for more room, are really in a great position to afford their next house.”

The Mortgage Bankers Association reported that the average contract interest rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage in July was 3.2 percent. According to Freddie Mac, at the end of July the weekly national average for the 30-year mortgage was 2.98 percent, an all time low. Shorter-term home loans, such as five, ten, and fifteen-year loans, have also had a drop in interest rates, making the prospect of moving into a new home for the fall very attractive.

The numbers speak for themselves. Pending home sales increased 44.3 percent in May, according to The National Association of Realtors. Refinance applications increased five percent one week in July and were up 122 percent over the previous week. The National Association of Realtors reports the high demand in applications is translating into sales.

“After months in lockdown, people are eager to either buy or build a new house,” Hotle says.

He’s right. Homebuilders are seeing a dramatic increase in buyers, according to the Commerce Department, which reported that single family housing build starts increased 17.2 percent in June.

“Home builders are seeing some strong and serious buyer traffic,” Hotle says. “There has really been a big uptick in people wanting to either build, buy, or refinance. It’s an ideal time to take advantage of these historic low rates.”

Low interest rates have created the perfect opportunity to buy, sell, or build a home. Contact Phil Hotle of RE/MAX at the Crossing at 317-919-8504 to learn more about the current market and for guidance with your real estate needs.

DAVIS HOMES:

A RICH FAMILY TRADITION:

Building Custom Homes in Central Indiana

by Matt Keating

The Davis family name has a rich tradition of building new homes, creating more than 20,000 houses in beautiful neighborhoods throughout Indiana as well as being the featured home builder of the Centerpiece Home at the Indianapolis Home Show in both 2019 and 2020. That tradition is being carried forward by President & CEO Brad Davis, a third-generation builder. The company that bears his name understands a new home is a significant investment. That means whether it is your first home, or your last, the Davis team will pay attention to every detail to make sure you get the home of your dreams.

YOUR HOME IS IN GOOD HANDS Davis Homes is a local, family-owned builder currently building On Your Lot Custom Homes throughout Central Indiana, as well as building new homes in numerous custom communities in Indianapolis and the surrounding area.

Brad Davis says his experienced team will lead you through all aspects of the home building process. From land assessment or helping you find the perfect lot, designing the home, and working with you on the features most important to you, to the last home inspection, you and your new home are in good hands.

IT IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY “With today’s historically low interest rates, the resulting unprecedented buying power makes it the perfect time to build your brand-new home,” said Jerrod Klein, V.P. of Sales & Marketing for Davis Homes. Davis Homes works with you to create the home you want within a price range you are comfortable with. The in-house Davis Mortgage 4 6 H AV E N

Services, along with other preferred mortgage lenders, will tailor financing to your needs and desires.

BUILDING WITH TODAY’S DESIGN TRENDS “Today’s more discerning buyers generally want more open designs, taller ceilings, larger windows, larger kitchen islands and gourmet-style cooking ability, walk-in shower spas, outdoor living areas, and in many cases are not as focused on the size of the space, as they are on the style and features within the space. These are just some of the benefits of building your own new home versus buying an older used home,” Klein said. The Davis Homes team is also focused on today’s exterior design desires, such as Craftsman, Modern Prairie, Modern Farmhouse, just to name a few.

As we are spending more time at home these days, many homeowners are realizing they need more space, less space or a different use of space. The Davis Homes team will work with you to design the space that makes the most sense for your routines and lifestyle. Whether you need home office space, or student study areas, the exceptionally talented Davis Design Team will work with you to accomplish your needs. The recent opening of an updated Davis Homes Design Studio, in the Keystone Crossing area, provides viewing of current design features in a comfortable setting with advice from our expert designers.

We can start the home design process with one of our current plans or you can work with Craig Miles, our Director of Custom Homes, with another plan or a design concept initiated entirely with your own exclusive thoughts and ideas.

LARGEST ON YOUR LOT BUILDER “We are proud to have become Central Indiana’s largest On Your Lot home builder. Our niche of providing affordable customized building, with a focus on great value to our clients, has resulted in record sales and growing demand for our services. This has resulted in us expanding our offering to even higher new home price points. We now serve customer needs from the $300,000 range, to over one million,” said Davis.

Styling AWKWARD SPACES at Home

5 0 H AV E N

Inevitably there are areas of our homes that are extremely challenging to decorate. Thankfully, there are plenty of options to add depth with cozy accents, chairs, side tables, and mirrors that can elevate your space from an awkward spot to a beautiful vignette in your home.

1. SMALL ENTRYWAYS

& CORNERS

It seems every home has a corner or landing space that feels impossible to decorate but too bland when left without attention.

While your entryway might be small, there are plenty of ways to style it up with a few coat hooks and a bench, a chair with a side table, or an elegantly placed mirror above a console table. Creating a small but attractive landing zone adds convenience whether you are coming or going.

2. TALL WINDOWS

They might provide amazing light, but tall windows can be obstacles while decorating.

Strategically place a potted plant shelf between windows or look for benches that are calf-length and soften the look with plush pillows. It is a perfect place for a cozy reading or daydreaming spot!

3. SMALL KITCHEN

WALL OR COUNTERS

One word: Shelves! Areas between and above cabinetry are perfect for stacks and stacks of shelving. Stow cookbooks, wine, collectibles, or dishware that can be easily accessed, but have a modern, welcoming design.

4. BUILT-INS? NO PROBLEM!

The craftsman work of a good built-in cannot be understated,

Have you tried any of these ideas? Share your photo on Instagram with @evokeeventsbylb and tag #awkwardspacedesign

but the blank space it can leave can make a home feel unfinished.

Spaces like this are prime areas for reading chairs; if you have a window between two built-ins, complete the area with bench seating that ties the two shelving units together.

5. DIAGONAL WALL

Many small kitchens and foyers often have odd diagonal walls that make it hard to decorate. Like corners, think about tall mirrors or diverse artwork that can make a blank wall feel beautiful.

This is the small space at the top of my stairs. #awarkspacedesign #vintagevibe

6. SHALLOW MANTELS

Place family photos or artwork in ultra-thin frames to add to your mantel, or add a wide shelf directly above the mantel that can create the look of a thicker fireplace that will offer more robust decor options.

Mirrors are also useful here to increase the appearance of space in your room.
