Highland House

Indianapolis, IN

The Highland House is a tale of transitions.  An orchestrated arrangement of simple, clean architecture.  A cleansing of the interior, with a refreshing exterior completes the whole.  A story of architecture transitioning and enhancing a sense of place.  A new spirit, creating sanctuary for the owners as a new beginning in a contemporary home that is grounded within its surroundings, sitting serenely in a plain of green grass, protected by hundred-year-old trees.
