Custom homes north of Indianapolis

A house that could only be yours.

We draw and build six homes a year in Hamilton and Boone counties, each one shaped by your land and your daily habits.

We take on fewer homes, on purpose.

A builder running thirty jobs can't remember why you wanted the kitchen window lower. We can, because six families a year is all we've ever wanted to know this well.

The result is slower to book and easier to live in. Rooms sit where the light is, closets sit where the laundry is, and nothing was copied from a plan book.

Your whole team fits at one table.

Nobody hands your home to an outside firm halfway through. The people in your first meeting are the people at your final walkthrough.

Five stages, no guessing.

How it works
  1. 01

    Walk the land

    We stand on your lot together and talk about sun, views, and how you start a morning.

  2. 02

    Draw

    Your first plan arrives within a month, on paper, with a real budget beside it.

  3. 03

    Choose

    One long afternoon a month with your selections lead, never a warehouse tour.

  4. 04

    Build

    A dated schedule, a Friday photo update, and one person to call.

  5. 05

    Live in it

    We come back at one month, one year, and five years to adjust whatever has settled.

What does a Thornmere home cost?

Most of our homes land between $450 and $700 per square foot. Your written budget arrives with your first drawing, so you can adjust before anything is committed.

Will you build on a lot I already own?

Yes, and most clients come to us that way. If you are still looking, we will walk a candidate lot with you before you make an offer.

Can I bring my own architect?

You can. About a third of our homes start with an outside architect, and our designer works alongside them on details and cost.

How far out are you booking?

We usually start a new design within four months of a first meeting, since we only begin six homes a year.
