A quick iteration of what the living room and kitchen could be. White Oak Floor, Walnut Wood casework and trim, A stone panel fireplace surround with warm grey undertones to help bring in the foilage beyond.

STILL + Form Function got into a fun collaboration on iterating this living room and kitchen of a residence we are working on in Indianapolis. Our process internally always starts with conversations and questions, morphs into sketching, then digital modeling and design, and finally comes to these images that we hope evoke emotion towards, honestly, love or hate. Every design move is intentional, as an anchor move, or a complement.

These iterations are impactful for us, as Architects and Designers too. We can gain the feelings of affirmation around the deisgn move we made, shine a light on an area where we need to get things figured out, or honestly, where we just completely missed. And that's okay, design is never linear.

We continue to believe in the why we work so hard at our craft so it makes these collaborations with friends so fun.

For more than 20 years, a couple from the north side of Indianapolis enjoyed weekends at the husband’s parents’ home on Grandview Lake in Columbus. As their lives evolved and they welcomed four children, the family outgrew the grandparents’ space and came to a bittersweet realization: The days are long, but the years are short. “We only have so many summers with our kids,” the husband says. While they brainstormed the possibility of building a home nearby, an innovative concept began to percolate: a generational lake house.

The couple envisioned a property that could accommodate kids, extended family, friends, and (eventually) grandkids. They wanted a destination where they could celebrate birthdays, holidays, and all the long weekends in between.

Before these new experiences could come to life, they needed to find a lot on the same side of the water as the grandparents’ home. The only problem? Most homeowners on the private lake had been there for decades, and available space was virtually nonexistent. The wife began going door-to-door to ask if anyone was interested in selling.

In a serendipitous twist, a longtime friend opened one of these doors—at her parents’ home. While the friend’s parents had no desire to move, they were willing to sell some of their land.

How do you live with the lake, not just next to it?

That was the question at the heart of this home on Grandview Lake in Columbus, Indiana. A family who knew what mattered most, connection across generations, and a design that answered back with every decision made.

Two distinct masses organize the home, separating the quiet from the gathering so both have room to breathe. Mono slope rooflines angle deliberately toward the water, pulling views into the rooms rather than competing with them. The material palette stays honest — warm cedar, clean lines, nothing that fights what is already there outside the glass.

The result is a home that earns the lake. Every window placement, every roofline pitch, every material chosen with the water in mind.
This is what it looks like when a vision becomes a home.

Before a single line gets drawn, we listen and learn.

Every project starts the same way around here. Not with measurements or mood boards, but with a real conversation. What does your day actually look like? What's getting in the way? What do you want more of?

That's where the design begins. Not on paper. With people.
A home that works for your life is the only kind worth building, and we are so grateful we get to ask those questions alongside the people we serve.

What would you want your space to create more of?

We couldn’t have done this project without the help of Patrick Kestner’s collaboration with our incredible team. What a feat! by @still_arch

With winter’s temporary reprieve, we’re making headway on The Ridge project in Indianapolis. The zinc roofing and wood siding are looking great, and we’re looking forward to warmer days to see it all come together.

We’re back from a round of job-site visits in Indiana, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching our designs take shape in real time.

Regular site check-ins are an essential part of our process, ensuring that every detail and material choice stays true to the architectural integrity we envisioned from day one.

Grateful for our project partners and excited to see these spaces continue to evolve. taken in Indiana by @still_arch

This classic contemporary residence in Westfield, Indiana invites connection and ease in equal measure. Oriented to capture curated golf course views, the home’s layout extends effortlessly into outdoor living spaces designed for both intimate gatherings and larger entertaining.

At its core, a generous kitchen anchors the plan and its openness fosters a natural flow into the main living area, where warmth and material harmony define the daily experience. The primary suite, secluded yet connected, offers a retreat shaped by calm proportion and light.

Every detail is considered—from the walk-in wine cellar to the layered thresholds between interior and landscape which reflects an architecture that balances performance with poetry. The result is a home where timeless form meets contemporary function, embodying the dialogue between elegance and livability.

We’re thrilled to share the architectural renderings for The Ridge, our latest residential project. Perched atop a bluff on the north side of Indianapolis with sweeping views of Williams Creek, this site was once home to the Taggart family, founders of Wonder Bread. Our design gently integrates with the existing landscape, following the contours of the ridge to frame curated views toward the creek. The home’s layout is organized along a central circulation spine anchored by a transparent entry hall, creating a dramatic visual axis while clearly defining the public and private areas of the residence. With completion anticipated in late 2026, we look forward to sharing updates as construction progresses.

A Historic Home, Reimagined —

We’re proud to share the completion of a remarkable renovation at Twin Oaks, an estate with deep Indianapolis roots.

Originally built in 1941 by Lyman S. Ayres II and his wife Isabel in the Colonial Revival style, Twin Oaks has long been a landmark of elegance. The Ayres family moved in just a month after Pearl Harbor, and later expanded the grounds with gardens designed by noted landscape architect Frits Loosten.

In 1955, the property was purchased by Josiah K. Lilly Jr., grandson of Eli Lilly. With architect David V. Burns, the Lilly family transformed the home’s exterior into a European country-house style, raising the roofline, reconfiguring the kitchen, and adding distinctive features like the octagonal breakfast room with its pepperpot roof. By 1961, Mr. Lilly had also built a special wing for his collections and creative pursuits.

Today, Twin Oaks carries forward its legacy through a bold interior renovation that balances historical reverence with modern luxury—featuring dramatic marble, gilded fixtures, bespoke cabinetry, and even a custom spiral slide.

From its historic lineage to its new chapter of design, Twin Oaks continues to be an Indianapolis treasure.
