Luxury Residential Remodeling and Custom Design in Indianapolis
Studio 342 Design was founded in 1997 with a simple but powerful mission — to create beautiful, lasting spaces that reflect both the character of Indianapolis and the individuality of the people who call it home. What began as a small design-build studio has grown into one of the region’s most respected names in luxury residential remodeling and custom design in Indianapolis.
At the heart of our story is a commitment to community, craftsmanship, and connection. From our earliest projects in historic neighborhoods like Meridian-Kessler and Broad Ripple to our contemporary remodels in Zionsville, Carmel, and Geist, Studio 342 Design has always believed that great design doesn’t just shape spaces — it shapes lives.
Our founder envisioned a company that did more than build or decorate. He wanted a studio that would bridge the gap between artistry and construction, offering homeowners a place where vision, structure, and creativity meet. Over the decades, that philosophy has become our foundation — guiding how we design, how we build, and how we serve every client.

Our Philosophy: Bespoke Design Meets Lasting Craftsmanship
From humble beginnings to one of the most trusted residential general contractors in Indianapolis, our story is still unfolding—one project at a time.
Every home tells a story. At Studio 342 Design, we make sure yours is told with precision, passion, and purpose.
We believe that true luxury lies not in extravagance, but in the details — the soft curve of custom trim, the hand-applied texture of a bespoke wall finish, or the quiet alignment of materials that simply feel right.
Our work lives at the intersection of interior design, craftsmanship, and general contracting, allowing us to control every detail from concept to completion. This unified approach ensures that what you imagine becomes what you live in — seamless, stunning, and entirely one-of-a-kind.
We don’t chase trends. We create spaces that feel timeless, intentional, and deeply personal. Whether you dream of a moody, wallpaper-lined study with brass accents or a full-scale kitchen remodel that blends modern lines with natural warmth, our team ensures that every inch of your home reflects your story, your lifestyle, and your taste.
The Studio 342 Design Process
Every project we undertake follows a process we’ve refined over nearly three decades — a process rooted in clarity, creativity, and collaboration.
1. Discovery
We start with conversation. Every project begins with understanding — who you are, how you live, and what inspires you. Our designers and builders take time to listen deeply, visiting your home, exploring your vision, and identifying the emotional tone you want your space to convey.
2. Design & Visualization
Next comes the art. Our design team crafts detailed concepts that combine spatial flow, lighting, material palettes, and custom finishes. Whether we’re designing an elegant bathroom retreat or a statement-making kitchen, we provide 3D renderings, sample boards, and finish schedules that make your vision tangible before the first hammer swings.
3. Planning & Budgeting
Our general contracting expertise means we balance creativity with practicality. We develop transparent budgets and realistic timelines so you always know what to expect. We believe luxury should never mean uncertainty — it should mean confidence in both design and delivery.
4. Build & Execute
With our in-house craftsmen and trusted trade partners, Studio 342 Design handles every phase of construction with precision and professionalism. We coordinate all contractors, oversee every detail, and maintain the same designer’s eye through every layer of the build — ensuring the end result matches the design intent exactly.
5. Finishing Touches
This is where the magic happens. From hand-installed wallpaper and custom millwork to curated hardware and lighting placement, we obsess over every finish. Because the difference between a good space and a breathtaking one is always in the final five percent.
6. Reveal & Beyond
We don’t just hand over keys — we deliver a masterpiece. And our relationship doesn’t end there. Many of our clients return to us for future projects, knowing they can expect the same integrity, artistry, and care that defined their first experience.
