INFLUENTIAL STYLE for 2024

Influential Style for 2024

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / photos by 360 Tours and Dave Pluimer 6 H AV E N

As we welcome 2024, consider the familiar bridal idiom: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” The same phrase serves well in the home industry, only with slight modifications. Whether building or remodeling a home, one good rule of thumb is to incorporate “something old (a past trend), something new (a new style), something bold, and some neutral hue.”

SOMETHING “OLD”: LOTS OF NATURAL LIGHT One time-tested feature is an enduring love of natural light. An abundance of natural light allows a space to feel dynamic throughout the day, especially at sunset and sunrise. It’s hard to believe there was ever a time when people preferred dark houses with small windows.

Sunlight offers a host of health benefits, including improved sleep, enhanced mood, increased creativity, and better cognitive performance. It’s no wonder big windows are a timeless trend. Homeowners are asking for windows in nearly every room in the house. Joe Garcia, owner of G&G Custom Homes, says he even gets requests for closet windows.

SOMETHING “NEW”: LAYERING MATERIALS AND TEXTURES For 2024, designers are encouraging homeowners to layer materials and textures. Others are using tiles that infuse unique patterns and mosaics.

Homeowners find that their space becomes more playful when they abandon whatever “design rules” they thought existed. When you engage in creative play, that’s where the magic happens. Carlie Suski, design and sales consultant at ACo, does not keep things to scale. Instead, she uses one central focal point to draw the eye for massive, lasting impressions.

WHAT TO LOOK It’s fun to have “wow” factors in your home.

FOR IN 2024 SOMETHING “BOLD”: EMBRACING COLOR According to Mia Farrell, design and sales consultant at ACo, people are boldly embracing color more these days.

Farrell credits the pandemic for homeowners finally giving themselves permission to make their space their own with less concern for resale value. “The pandemic helped us get away from being so timid about using color,” she says.

An abundance of natural light, bold colors and a return to warm, neutral tones will be on trend for 2024. For that wow factor, try getting playful with spaces and abandon “design rules.”

SOME “NEUTRAL HUE”: INTRODUCING WARM EARTH TONES Stacy Stater, founder/owner of Home & Willow Design, is seeing a shift from cool to warmer colors like Smokey Topaz, Umber Rust, Nutmeg, Sienna, and Butterscotch. All of these natural tones help to ground the space.

This issue of Haven magazine highlights not just “the old, the new, the bold, and the neutral hue” but also a variety of other great info regarding the latest innovations in townhome builds, the real estate forecast for the new year, and clever ways to keep your books straight this tax season. Cheers to refreshing our space, style, and influences in the new year!

For those switching to matte finishes and warmer tones, consider yourself ahead of the curve. 2024 is the year of Natural Neutrals. As the housing market slows, homeowners are less focused on resale value and more on making their space a sanctuary.

Perhaps in direct response to this trending attitude, Pantone declared Peach Fuzz their color of the year for 2024.

“A warm and cozy shade highlighting our desire for togetherness with others or for enjoying a moment of stillness and the feeling of sanctuary this creates, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz presents a fresh approach to a new softness,” Pantone says in their official statement.

Stacy Stater, founder/owner of Home & Willow Design, similarly sees a shift toward more natural, soft and comfortable details in the home. “Even the sheen that we select for painting our walls is becoming a bit more flat, matte, and natural. It’s not so shiny,” says Stater.

Stater also says she’s seeing homeowners gravitate towards warm shades like Caramel, Nutmeg, Sienna, Butterscotch, and Camel.

“People like texture so where there’s an absence of color, we add texture and textiles to the mix to keep it interesting.”

Stater maintains that it’s all about grounding and giving a nod to nature. This is something that she’s even seeing reflected in hardware.

Remember how brass was the hot ticket 30 years ago? According to Stater, brass has circled back, only now it’s not a shiny polished brass but rather a stripped-down version with more raw and natural finishes.

“In the past, we were afraid of color for fear that a future buyer may not like a choice we had made,” says Mia Farrell, Design & Sales Consultant for ACo. “But during the pandemic we decided to make our homes our own. As a result, we got away from being so timid about using color.”

As we enter 2024, Farrell predicts

that colors will be less muted and more on the bold side – think dark green or copper-y rust. Stater agrees.

“A few years ago, people tended to like cooler colors, but now it’s the flip side and they like warmth,” Stater adds. ​This year Sherwin-Williams has quite a few warm shades, including Smokey Topaz, Moderate White, Burnished Brandy, Gold Coast, Iron Ore, and Sequin. In addition, Sherwin-Williams’ Baroque period includes Classical White, Rookwood Terra Cotta, Greenblack, Muddled Basil, and Bosc Pear. Their Autumn Foliage line is also quite popular and includes Autumnal, Umber Rust, French Roast, Only Natural, Copper Mountain, and Familiar Beige. Benjamin Moore’s Pale Oak and White Dove offer lovely neutral tones.

A great way to incorporate color into a home is by way of furniture.

Stater suggests keeping the big pieces like sofas and sectionals a neutral color (e.g. a taupe tan) so that you can be braver with texture, pattern, and color with smaller chairs and accents. This is where nutmeg, sienna, and caramel colors can come through.

“Go full force with pillows, vases, and accessories,” she says. “We get tired of those things anyway so it’s fun to swap them out periodically.”

She also recommends annually, if not biannually, changing up your bookshelves. That’s another place where you can add a different color focus. The same is true of inexpensive art. Switch it up!

“Why aren’t we more musical chairs with our art?” she asks.

“January is the best time to do so. You’ve put away the holiday decorations and cleaned your house from top to bottom. It’s the perfect time for a fresh pallet!”

If you’re eager to add some color to your home this year, consult with a local design expert from Home & Willow Design or ACo to discuss your next project.

WINDOW TREATMENTS? windows that are out of reach. Windows in stairwells, behind the kitchen sink, behind the bathtub, skylights, and two-story windows can all benefit from a motorized operating system.  FREQUENT FLYERS

Window treatments that never move might as well be a written invitation to burglars. PowerView automation can move your window coverings throughout the day, giving the illusion that someone is home.

The Remote Connect™ feature allows you to operate your window treatments from anywhere in the world.  HOMES WITH KIDS

The window coverings industry uses warning tags, labels, and other methods to communicate the potential hazards of corded window coverings. Because motorized treatments lack lift cords, they’re a safer option than shades with exposed cords for both kids and pets.

Hunter Douglas PowerView® technology is a revolutionary system that automatically moves your window treatments throughout the day so you don’t have to. Program your shades to create the perfect ambiance for morning, noon, and night. Set them to open and rise to just the right height in the morning, block out afternoon sun, and close at sunset. Operate your window treatments with your smartphone, a remote control, or voice command via your home automation system like Alexa or Apple HomeKit. You can motorize every window treatment in your home or motorize one particular window treatment.

Smart Home Automation:

THE FUTURE IS NOW

by Allie Moffett

When The Jetsons premiered in 1962, show writers William Hanna and Joseph Barbera imagined the future in 100 years. They created George Jetson, the “dad of the future,” to lead his family in the space age with technology that’s now known as smart home automation.

While we may not have flying cars just yet, we have many of the tools depicted in the cartoon, all customizable to enhance your life thanks to Intelligent Living Solutions.

1 CONVENIENCE Smart should be simple! The team brings smart homes to life with many tailored conveniences such as presence-sensing lights, automated shades, and sound systems to play your favorite tunes from any room. With flexible scheduling or on-demand options, clients can tailor their tech to whatever works best for them.

THE JETSONS WOULD LOVE THIS! Home automation tools from Intelligent Living Solutions are designed to effortlessly customize and enhance your life.

2 ENERGY EFFICIENCY Automation not only enhances comfort and luxury but also promotes energy and cost efficiency through straightforward methods to save. Smart thermostats optimize energy usage by adjusting the temperature based on schedule, occupancy, and weather conditions with the help of an outdoor weather station. Presence-sensing technology can learn your routines and adjust accordingly, turning lights on when you enter and off when you exit a room. All of this and more can be managed from a single control panel or app or be programmed to happen behind the scenes without having to lift a finger.

3 WELL-BEING Your smart home can also make a positive impact on your health.

With automated climate controls and smart blinds and shades, it’s easy to stay warm during these chilly winter months. Automated climate controls save energy through the warmest parts of the day, with smart shades maximizing natural light. With timed smart home systems, you can also balance your circadian rhythm through environmental changes.

Automated climate controls adapt to your preferences, ensuring a consistently comfortable home ambiance during cozy nights and crisp mornings. Additionally, by strategically adjusting smart blinds and shades, you can maximize natural light, even on the shortest days.

With just a few taps on your smartphone or a simple voice command, you can warm up your home to the desired temperature or adjust your window treatments before stepping through the door.

The Intelligent Living Solutions team can show you all the possibilities at their Smart Home Experience Center in Zionsville. Experience the latest smart home automation technologies – make an appointment today.

BREAKING GROUND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE CUSTOM HOME FEATURES IN 2024

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / photos by 360 Tours

MAXIMIZING FUNCTIONALITY in every area of the home will be key in 2024.

Homeowners want practical ways to work, play and relax, according to G&G Custom Homes onwner Joe Garcia.

1 4 H AV E N

Making your custom home a reality can leave you spoiled for choice, but it can also empower you to tailor your dream home down to every detail and custom element. Owner of G&G Custom Homes, Joe Garcia, has his finger on the pulse of custom home features. According to Garcia, this year homeowners are looking to maximize functionality in every corner of their home. That means more natural light, more outdoor living spaces, and more practical ways to work, play, and relax.

“People love covered porches and the pools,” says Garcia, noting that of the ten homes he’s currently building, seven of them include a pool, and every one of them includes a covered outdoor space.

Outdoor living is all about extending our seasons and enjoying the fresh air for as long as possible. For year-round natural light, large windows are another popular feature for homes in 2024.

“People are wanting more and more natural light into their house,” says Garcia.

“Some are even asking for big windows in their closets. Gone are the days of a closet being a room with four walls. Now there is at least one window in there.”

While in years past homeowners occasionally incorporated office space in their home, the pandemic ushered in the inclusion of home offices as a staple of practically every new build. In many cases, multiple home offices are accommodating multi-income households, with some homeowners even requesting custom built-in study spaces for their children.

“Although many people have returned to working outside the home again, a lot of folks still are able to work remotely, either fulltime or part-time, so they want a flexible home office type of space to do so,” says Garcia.

Home automation continues to be a hot commodity. With

ALSO HOT IN 2024:

HOME SAUNAS Garcia notes that this feature wasn’t even on homeowner’s radar until recent years, but this year, five of the homes he is building will include home saunas.

“People are big into their health, and saunas show great health benefits,” says Garcia, who is showcasing each one of these features in his Home-A-Rama house this year in Zionsville’s Promontory.

“The majority of homes are becoming more modern,” says Garcia. “These are all features that everyone wants because they are nice, unique, and make life more convenient.”

new predictive hardware, smart homes keep getting smarter, and all the more appealing.

According to Garcia, nearly every client he works with requests some form of automated feature.

“They want the controlled lighting, where you have a keypad to turn lights on in

your house rather than using switches,” he says. “They love that all they have to do is hit the ‘entertain’ button and lights dim down to set a mood.”

Motorized shades are also gaining popularity, which makes sense if you’re wanting larger windows. Automated shades allow for some privacy in the

evenings without the hassle of wrestling with a stepladder.

Again, folks love to be able to put shades up or down with the touch of a button.

INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS

by Keianna Rae Harrison-Williams Principal/Executive Director, Design and Remodeling Operations, HER LLC

Happy New Year from the HER Home Design and HER Home Design BUILD Teams! We’re so excited about a fresh start to the new year. We’ve got our teams gathered round the war room table cranking out the best and most innovative design tips for interior design and remodeling this year.

Our designers believe in the value of “Authenticity.” We believe a home should truly be a reflection of the owner’s personal style. That said, the name of the game in 2024 is infusing interior design plans with meaningful furniture and decor pieces.

Successful interior design is about the way the space makes the clients feel when we’re done more than it is about the way a space looks. And in 2024, feeling good and expressing personal style at home is the total package.

In the new year, designers will focus more on working with clients rather than working for them. As a result, we’ll see more personality-rich home interiors.

Gone are the days of stark design minimalism and bare rooms.

7. COLOR DRENCHING Create a mood in your space with monochromatic accent walls. Color drenching is painting the walls, ceiling, and trim all the same color, and it’s a painting trend that’s here to stay. Not ready to commit? Small rooms like mud rooms or entryways can be a great choice for color-drenching. The focus on a single color makes the room seem larger. Try it on a small room first and see how you like it.

Setting the Tone for the Year Ahead: January is a Critical Accounting Period

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / photo by Brian Brosmer

When it comes to tackling undesirable tasks, many subscribe to the mantra, “Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?”

No doubt procrastination is alive and well. And while that may not always be a big deal, the philosophy is problematic when it comes to taxes. For starters, it’s not good if come January, you realize that your bookkeeping is a total mess.

“That’s a rude awakening when you’ve not properly managed the time to address those issues,” says Jon Markee, founder of Remote CPA. The good news is that you can access automation tools like QuickBooks Online to help streamline the bookkeeping reconciliation process. By January 31, all 1099s and W2s must be issued. Missing the deadline results in penalties. By ensuring your records are accurate and complete, you’ll find that submitting those documents on time can be a breeze.

“The sooner you complete your bookkeeping, the smoother your financial operations will run,” says Markee.

QUICK TIP: Converting your business entity to S-Corp status can potentially save you thousands of dollars on taxes. The deadline for filing the form is March 15.

INTERIOR DESIGN

ACo:

ELE VATE YOUR SPACE with

BOLD

Design

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / photos by Dave Pluimer

When designing your home, what do you consider a “bold design choice?” We asked four design experts at ACo to share their own unique choices when it comes to creating a beautiful, bold space.

ADD PERSONALITY WITH UNEXPECTED CHOICES Carlie Suski doesn’t believe a cohesive theme is needed throughout the home, instead, each room should have a personality. That personality can come through in both style and color. For instance, Suski’s laundry room is teal, and her powder room is pink. She also feels that cabinetry doesn’t need to match from room to room.

“You can have stained cabinets in one room and blue cabinets in another,” she says.

Another unexpected design tactic - Suski purposefully doesn’t keep things to scale because she adores oversized cooktop hoods, giant light fixtures in small rooms, and big hutches that sit on counters. In her own home, a big brass starburst Sputnik chandelier lights up her 5x3 ft. powder room. The fact that it takes up eighty percent of the ceiling makes it a dynamite focal point.

“Sometimes a choice like that can make a space feel cozy,” she says.

EXPRESS YOURSELF WITH LAYERS OF DESIGN Kayley Vargo recognizes that while some homeowners prefer playing it safe when it comes to design decisions, she enjoys working on projects where homeowners are eager to express themselves .

“People tend to consider resale value even if they have no plans to move,” says Vargo. “I remind them that they can still be natural and elegant without sticking with white on white on white.”

This is why she recommends that homeowners layer materials and textures like metals and finishes.

2 2 H AV E N

“Layering really brings a space to life,” she says.

An example of layering with textures is mixing polished and leathered countertop finishes. Another option is adding in metal accents, whether it be an inset cabinet panel or wrapped around an island leg.

“You can also add textures and finishes by mixing and matching different sizes and types of hardware,” says Vargo. “Paying attention to those fine details helps give a room overall character.”

BRING THE FUN WITH PATTERNED TILE OR STRIKING NATURAL STONE Mia Farrell recalls the days when every space she designed was comparing shades of white. Thankfully, those days are behind her.

“People are more into using color than they were in the past,” says Farrell, who likes incorporating both color and texture with fun tile patterns and mosaics.

“There’s a lot of opportunity to do fun things with tile,” says Farrell. “For instance, in the bathroom, we’ve put backsplash tile at the vanity, running from the countertop to the ceiling.”

Choosing colorful accent tiles for the backsplash isn’t the only way to go bold. Opting for natural stone on countertops also offers the opportunity to make a striking statement.

“Natural stone tends to be a bolder choice because they’re more unpredictable and wilder in the veining and color than white quartz with grey veining,” says Farrell.

FIND INSPIRATION AND FRESH PERSPECTIVE IN NATURE Autumn Janowski also finds that adding color and textures from nature to kitchens and bathrooms makes them more dynamic.

“For years, people have played it safe with whites and grays. It’s refreshing to see more people being receptive to color,” says Janowski. “Some of these homeowners get so excited when you show them bold options because they can see that it elevates their space to the next level.”

“I’m obsessed with deep hunter greens and terra cottas in lower cabinets or just in the backsplash to add texture,” she continues. “It still has an organic feel but is unexpected.”

In addition to bold colors with an earthy feel, homeowners are craving other more natural elements in their homes. This has led to a comeback for natural stones.

“I like to carry the stone on the countertop up the wall to create a look that can be timeless, modern, or very bold depending upon the selected stone,” Janowski says, noting that they’re also incorporating natural stone in showers with large format tiles or full marble ACo slabs to create a luxurious look.

REAL ESTATE MARKET

Residential Real Estate Predictions for

by Christy Heitger-Ewing

2 4 H AV E N

Interest rates have stopped climbing, and while home inventory is still low, new builds are starting to bridge the gap. Gone are the days of buyers waiving home inspections and coming to the table with no contingencies in order to win that seller acceptance. But as we head into a new year, the interesting balance of today’s real estate market begs the perpetual question, is now a good time to buy?

Rob Bussell, Vice President of Marketing with The Marina Limited Partnership, notes that making predictions about the housing market is difficult, especially going into an election year. The unpredictable nature of the economic climate makes the housing market hard to read in advance. The hope is that interest rates will stay steady. Rates have been high for a while, but they might not stay that way. This past November, both the 30-year and 15-year rates ticked down a little bit, which hopefully is a sign of things to come, but it’s hard to say.

“Year over year, we’ve seen a 3.9% increase in home values, which is a good thing if you’re a seller,” says Bussell. “But the market has been stable as far as higher-end home prices.”

Laura Turner, Broker/Owner of Laura Turner Realty Group, says while we’re still in a deficit of housing inventory, builders in the Indy area jumped on the bandwagon and built a ton of spec homes to ramp up their inventory. Now, as a result, they’re competing at a price point of $400K and under, especially in Fortville and McCordsville.

Practically speaking, this means that although inventory in general is low, new developments have created an influx of new homes in that price range of $400K and under.

Most of those builders are offering an interest rate buy-down, which helps first-time homebuyers get a lower mortgage with a lower initial interest rate. That interest rate will increase for the next year or so, but for now the option is boosting the market in the $300K to $500K price range for new construction homes. With a lower initial interest rate, more first-time buyers are able to purchase a property at that higher price point.

If you’re thinking about putting your home on the market, keep in mind that high interest rates are making many buyers lower their budget to compensate. Essentially, potential buyers for a $425K home might have been looking at up to $550K this time last year.

“You’re seeing buyers take longer to make decisions,” says Turner.

“This means that even houses that seem perfect with new paint and carpet are taking longer to sell.”

While forecasting future interest rates is impossible, we can guess what will happen if rates fall or remain the same.

“If interest rates go down, it’ll open up the floodgates of buyers that had put their houses on hold. They will jump back in the market,” says Turner. “If, however, interest rates remain what they are, we’ll probably see more inventory, which means more choice for buyers. It could create a level playing field for both buyers and sellers.”

As for the types of houses people are buying, Turner notes that bigger is not better right now. Rather than more square footage,

“I encourage buyers to purchase a home now if they really love it. As time goes by and [interest] rates fall, they can always refinance.

In the meantime, they’re building equity.”

– ROB BUSSELL Vice President of Marketing, The Marina Limited Partnership

people are seeking higher-end finishes. Consumers are also more concerned with location. For example, new townhomes in downtown Fishers are a popular option because potential buyers appreciate walkability and the lack of maintenance. That demographic is less likely to buy elsewhere, because fewer options check the same boxes.

Bussell is seeing buyers who may have lived in a larger home but now that their kids have moved out, they’re looking to “right-size.”

For these buyers, a new construction with lots of customization is a popular option.

Turner maintains that life changes should dictate when you buy a house rather than interest rates. For instance, is your family growing?

Would you prefer to no longer navigate stairs? Do you need to be closer to a particular school district?

“Buying a home is an investment,” says Turner. She compares it to a 401(k). “The difference is when you buy a home, you actually have a tangible product. When you put money in 401(k), you don’t see anything until you’re 65.”

Unfortunately, waiting to see what happens with the market means putting life on perpetual hold.

“I encourage buyers to purchase a home now if they really love it,” says Bussell. “As time goes by and [interest] rates fall, they can always refinance. In the meantime, they’re building equity.”

As we enter 2024, Turner is excited about the notion of entering a more balanced market between buyers and sellers. If you’re looking to buy or sell a property, consult with a seasoned real estate expert to determine your next step.

NETWORKING & HIRING

HOME ARTISANS OF INDIANA:

WHAT TO ASK WHEN HIRING AN ARTISAN:

Questions to Ask When Choosing a Contractor What is an artisan? Our answer is inclusive: It’s someone who makes, crafts, designs, builds, organizes, and delivers tangible results.

Whether it’s a custom home builder, a ductwork specialist, a landscaping company, or a premium door and window supplier, these are the people who make home home.

1. CAN I SEE EXAMPLES/SAMPLES OF YOUR WORK? Reputable artisans will have a way to show off their skills, whether it is in a showroom, in a portfolio, or on a website gallery – preferably all three!

2. ARE YOU FULLY LICENSED, BONDED, AND INSURED? If you are seeking to hire a landscaping company, HVAC

service, home builder, etc., it is essential that they have the proper licenses and insurance, as well as the financial wherewithal to compensate a customer/client should there be a problem with their product or service.

3. HOW DOES YOUR PRICING WORK? Do you provide a quote ahead of time? While cost is not everything… It’s a

lot! Many artisans will use their experience and understanding of your project parameters to provide a quote before you proceed. Others have tiers of service, or different methods of charging. Don’t be afraid to talk dollars and cents.

4. HOW WILL YOU HANDLE COMMUNICATIONS WITH ME? It is frustrating to explain who you are, what you

need, and what the issue is over and over. Clear this up before you get started with an artisan – who is my point of contact?

5. CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXPECTED TIMELINE FOR PROJECT COMPLETION? Like an estimate or quote, a

project timeline is not set in stone. Any number of factors can impact the schedule, from weather to the supply chain. An experienced, reputable artisan will give you a realistic answer, as well as strategies to avoid common pitfalls. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is!

PYATT BUILDERS:

What’s Your Home Style?

PYATT BUILDERS INTRODUCES TWO NEW SERIES

by Christy Heitger-Ewing

While most townhomes have a reputation for looking cookiecutter, Pyatt Builders’ new Town Series is breaking the mold by blending unique charm with appealing tradition.

“We created this series with the mindset of trying to be different, especially with the livability of each floorplan,” says Brittany Pyatt, VP of Design and Research at Pyatt Builders. “These plans don’t feel like townhomes but rather individual single-family homes.”

The units incorporate an abundance of windows to allow natural light to flow in. Each space was carefully and thoughtfully designed to incorporate designs for many lifestyles. From multi-generation TOWN SERIES living to single-family dwellings, there’s a floorplan that will suit everyone.

“There are lots of individual spaces to serve whatever purpose is needed, whether that’s a rec room, playroom, or additional living room – the space is yours to use as you need,” says Pyatt.

The Town Series has two furnished model homes: the Uptown and the Midtown. Both are located in the Colonnade neighborhood in McCordsville, which is conveniently located near McCordsville Elementary School and the developing McCord Square.

Each of Pyatt’s innovative townhome plans incorporate interiors that unfold into welcoming outdoor living, with each plan including a deck or a porch area.

Pyatt Builders recently launched the urban-style Edge Series, which has rear-alley entry with a garage in the back. The majority of these single-family floor plans include a covered atrium on the side of the house as well as a front porch and rear patio, each of which offer fresh approaches to streetside living.

“The atrium is a great spot for an outdoor fireplace,” says Pyatt.

“We, as Hoosiers, are known for trying to extend our seasons as much as possible so the Edge Series, with its front, side, and back options for outdoor living, is great. The plans certainly encourage social interactions.”

Available in Plainfield’s Hobbs Station, the Edge Series was

EDGE SERIES

designed with big wide-open spaces between the kitchen, dining area, and great room to allow for entertaining and everyday living.

The exteriors offer five different elevation styles (Craftsman, Farmhouse, Cottage, Prairie, & Modern), all with unique roof lines that have different trim details. Each draws from styles common to Indianapolis’ urban neighborhoods, bringing a downtown flair to the suburb.

“It’s that neighborhood feel where people sit out on their porches talking to one another,” says Pyatt. “A connected community is really the goal.”

Both of these series are redefining neighborhood development in Central Indiana by introducing a fresh focus on community interaction. From the home itself to prime locations within suburban communities, Pyatt is making it easier for homeowners to know their neighbors.

“Our team has done a great job of creating something unique that isn’t out there right now,” says Pyatt.

WORKSPACE

HUB & SPOKE:

INTENTIONAL WORKSPACE:

HUB & SPOKE IS THE PLACE TO BE

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / photos by The Addison Group

“Niyyah” means “intention” in Arabic. Shamyl Tufail, owner of Niyyah Coffee, recently opened his coffee shop inside Hub & Spoke.

“The name was chosen with a purpose,” says Tufail. “We wanted to open a coffee shop where people could gather to work and meet, but we wanted to do it with our own style and our coffee, of course.”

Located in the heart of Fishers, near the Nickel Plate Trail, Tufail admits that roughly 75% of the people who come into Hub & Spoke ask, “What’s this building about?”

He’s excited to answer that question.

“I tell them it’s about a lot of different things,” says Tufail. “It’s a mixed-use development and partnership with the City of Fishers that includes a Design Center with lots of retail shops, coworking space, and a state-of-the-art Makerspace.”

“I love to tell people, ‘Hey, if you’re remodeling, ACo is just next door. Or if “We wanted to open a coffee shop you’re looking for interior design, Home & where people could gather to work and Willow Design is sponsoring our Cozy Corner over there. That’s where we got our furniture,’” says meet, but we wanted to do it with our Tufail. Niyyah Coffee’s name echoes its home in Hub & Spoke, a place own style and our coffee, of course.” where creativity is brought together with intention.

– SHAMYL TUFAIL Owner, Niyyah Coffee Nick Snyder, manager of the Maker Playground, describes Hub & Spoke as a “cool, forward-thinking building.”

“The space has allowed this community of makers from various backgrounds to thrive and collaborate with one another,” says Snyder.

“There is just this overall culture of working together that I think is really cool.”

The makerspace membership for the Maker Playground works like a gym membership but instead of having dumbbells, treadmills, and elliptical machines, they have table saws, laser cutters, and 3D printers.

“This is a place where you can tinker and create,” says Snyder.

The ground floor of Hub & Spoke is a one-stop shop if you’re building or renovating as it’s a hub of design, creativity, engineering, and architecture.

“You can talk to a skilled designer who can help you completely reimagine your home, but there’s also this DIY aspect down in our 2 8 H AV E N

quarter,” says Snyder. “Then there’s some more traditional retail like High Frequency Arts. They showcase their art on the walls all around the building, which points to the creativity and synergy of the space.”

The building is also the perfect starting point for anyone interested in joining a construction trade. The Hub & Spoke Institute is a nonprofit based in the building that’s geared toward workforce development and construction trades education. With a shortage of half a million workers on construction sites, it’s no secret that the industry is hungry for new talent. The Hub & Spoke Institute intends to fill that gap.

“This is something we’re all passionate about in the building,” says Snyder.

BR AND STYLE GUIDE In partnership with Ivy Tech and the Maker Playground, the Hub & Spoke Institute has created the EntreMaker Program. This free program provides individuals interested in skilled trades with an introductory course into all things construction.

“Since we have a lot of construction trades and construction trades-adjacent companies here, that has led to sponsorship opportunities,” says Snyder. “Sponsors include ACo, Meyer Najem, BDA, Trane, and Home Artisans of Indiana.”

Through the National Center for Construction Education and

LOGO BADGES

Research (NCCER), the entry-level class teaches both technical and soft skills for entering the trades. Students enrolled in the EntreMaker Program learn the basics of power tools, construction math, reading building plans, and writing resumes and cover letters. At the end of the course, they receive an industrystandard certificate that stays with them for the duration of their careers. And it all begins at Hub & Spoke.

At the center of making, learning, design, and progress is the intention that brings all these threads together. Tufail gets to see it all unfold around him from the comfort of the Cozy Corner at Niyyah Coffee, and he’s happy to give the same energy back.

“The traffic from the coffee shop helps us give more exposure to all the great places in this building.”

McCOMB PELLA WINDOWS & DOORS / GRADISON DESIGN BUILD:

Trust & Transparency

by Christy Heitger-Ewing / photos by Derek Kemp Photography

Nothing hits harder than surprise expenses when constructing a home. It’s no wonder transparency can be such a big factor when homeowners are shopping for a builder- and one company in particular stands out for those traits. Transparency and honesty are the hallmark characteristics of the team at Gradison Design Build.

“Our company objective is to have super happy clients, so we help them understand what a house is going to really cost,” says Joe Gradison, owner of the company. “We aren’t 3 0 H AV E N

into smoke and mirrors. We say, ‘If this is what you want in it, this is what it will cost.’”

The team at Gradison Design Build, which began in 1986, coined the phrase, “Hard spec, hard price.” This means that they specify everything in the house rather than using allowances, keeping cost overruns to a minimum.

“It’s hard to keep clients happy if you dip in their pockets multiple times,” says Gradison.

By presenting detailed plans and

specifications for a client’s house, Gradison earns their trust. The company’s transparent, client-serving approach means there are no unpleasant surprises down the line.

One client, Ashley H., can’t say enough good things about the Gradison team.

“The [team at Gradison] listened closely to our vision and helped us stick to it throughout the build and selection process,” she says. “We ended up with a high-quality, unique, and practical living space that we will call home for many years to come!”

Gradison Design Build has participated in seven Home-A-Ramas. Co-owner Mark Gradison received Builder of the Year by BAGI (Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis). Gradison Design Build includes five seasoned team members who have worked with the company for 25+ years. Together, they focus on understanding clients’ needs rather than hoodwinking clients or omitting key costs.

“Unfortunately, this way of doing business has always been prevalent in the construction industry,” says Gradison. “In low-end material choices or a low allowance, you look like you cost less than the next guy, but you’re going to have to pay the piper in the end on why the overruns were what they were.”

Peggy G. was immensely pleased with the team at Gradison Design Build.

“We can only say good things about Gradison,” she says. “Every single one of their employees has been efficient, accommodating, accessible, and a pleasure to work with.”

During any particular build, conflicts can arise in design, materials, and budget. This is why Gradison partners with vendors they trust. One such vendor is McComb Pella Window & Door Co. The current trend

toward more modern architecture sparks creativity between Gradison and Pella.

“Ryan and the entire Pella team do a fabulous job. Their engineering department provides technical guidance on what can and can’t be done, product-wise, both architecturally and structurally,” says Gradison.

Pella’s attention to detail is top-notch when it comes to the process, the pricing, and the ordering.

“They are there for us all the time, doing things behind the scenes to support us,” says Gradison. “When a vendor takes full control

“Our company objective is to have super happy clients, so we help them understand what a house is going to really cost.”

and responsibility and performs, we can work on things that need our attention. It allows us to be better at what we do.”
