He designed for us a beautiful, functional space that incorporated all of the features that we wanted as well as some that we did not think of. He responded timely every time we had a question, went above and beyond to address all concerns and questions we had, and worked collaboratively with our general contractor. Adam was so pleasant to work with, we highly recommend him! **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > What a pleasure to work with you! Thanks for the review. ### All 60 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-14736491, Dec. 2025** > Adam had so many great ideas for our kitchen remodel. We wanted a modern design and he gave us an amazing plan. Adam was very easy to work with and very responsive to our questions. I would work with Adam and recommend him anytime. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > You guys have been such a pleasure to work with. Thank you for the review. The renderings are cool, but I look forward to seeing its completion! **★★★★★ — Holland V, Dec. 2025** > Adam Gibson possesses design brilliance and construction expertise: the perfect combination of good taste and style with reliable technical skills. Adam is responsive, efficient, and a wonderful guide through initial architectural drafts to completion. From my experience, I say with conviction that Adam Gibson is the very best of the best. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Wow, Holland. Thank you so much for the effusive review! You are a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Carmel home, Nov. 2024** > I had the pleasure of working with Adam Gibson. He created a design for the main floor of my house, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! From the start, it was clear that he truly understood my vision. He took the time to listen to my ideas and preferences, ensuring that every detail reflected our style. > > What impressed me the most was his professionalism and ability to collaborate effectively. He was open to feedback and made adjustments as needed, which made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The final result is nothing short of fantastic! I absolutely love it and can’t wait to finally make his wonderful work a reality. > > I highly recommend Adam. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thank you for your kind words! You were a pleasure to collaborate with! **★★★★★ — GPL Foyer Bathroom, Aug. 2024** > Our design experience with Adam was just exceptional! > Besides just having an all around great personality, two things we like most about Adam are 1) his architectural and design creativity and 2) his willingness to listen to our ideas / feedback and iterate the design multiple times to arrive at an amazing finished product! The finished renderings and construction drawings have us all set up for a great renovation. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thank you for the kind review! I can't wait to see the finished product. You guys have been a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Franck, Jan. 2024** > When it comes to exceptional service, Adam truly stands out from the crowd. From start to finish, our experience with him was nothing short of impressive. Adam was knowledgeable, responsive, and went above and beyond to address all our needs and concerns. What really impressed us was how he took the time to understand our unique situation and provided tailored recommendations that were spot on. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence was evident every step of the way. Overall, I highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a top-notch designer. He truly exceeded our expectations and we are grateful for his exceptional service. Thanks again for everything! **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Wow. That is quite a review. Your check is in the mail. Kidding, obviously. You and Anne were an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you very much for the effusive review. **★★★★★ — Jeffrey C, Dec. 2023** > Adam assisted my wife and me with two and one-half baths. His plans were spot on! Adam captured everything we told him we wanted in our new baths (in our 100-year-old home). He also told us what we wanted that we didn't know we wanted. He helped with budget too, and separating our wants from our needs. Adam worked seamlessly with our contractor; everyone got a long great. We'd do it all over again, though we don't need to, we're so pleased with our new baths and everyone who made them happen. One last thing, and this may be important to homeowners with old, historic homes like ours: Adam respects architecture. He knew we wanted to stay true to the period. So while our baths are modern and 'smart', the cabinetry and stone we chose looks like it could or should have been there 100 years ago when the house was built. Cheers to you, Adam, well done! **★★★★★ — mollyrand, April 2023** > We worked with Adam to scope a renovation for our main level including kitchen, pantry, great room and bar area. He was really great to work with. He reviewed our Houzz ideabooks to get a feel for our style and then brought a lot of unique ideas to fit our space. He was also wonderful about incorporating any suggestions or changes we had to his design. And most importantly, he was very patient with first time design clients in answering a lot of questions and waiting when life threw a curveball and we got delayed in responding. Highly recommend. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thank you for the review. I so look forward to the finished product! **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2022** > Adam took a 1990-style kitchen in a 1929 home, and completely transformed the space. He created a more open, light and modern feel, while implementing features that tie into style of the home. I couldn't be happier with the result. > > He's talented, knowledgeable and is an overall great guy to work with. I highly recommend him. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Mark, > You were so fun to work with. Thanks for the great review! > Best, > Adam **★★★★★ — Monika FISCHER, Nov. 2021** > I had the best experience with Adam. I hired Adam after reading all the raving reviews about his work on the net and based upon personal recommendations from my friends. My house was built in 1930 and I plan to remodel most of the rooms including the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, staircases, etc. We started working together during the Covid-19 epidemic and we only met via zoom. Adam was very easy to collaborate with. He listened to all my wishes and expectations about the remodeling. and he completed the entire design flawlessly. I thought that he had to be a mind-reader sometimes, because I am Hungarian and I certainly do not possess the necessary vocabulary for house renovation. It was not a problem with Adam. He is a great listener, kind, extremely talented and has a great style. The design turned out to be perfect presented as a computer 3-D model with lots of details and plenty of material to work with for the contractor. Importantly, Adam stayed within the projected budget. I could not have dreamed about a better outcome. I cant' wait to start the building phase and watch his design will be realized. **★★★★★ — zvillepat, Nov. 2021** > We retained Adam for design of our master bath and another bath. The footprint of the existing master had too many angles and wasted space. Adam redesigned it with a more linear look and we love our European inspired spa bathroom. > > The other bath is a Jack and Jill we just switched out tile and had cabinets made using Adam’s design. > > Adam knew what we wanted and designed everything to our liking. I would highly recommend him for your next project. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > It was a pleasure to work with you. But you get all the credit for the color scheme! Here's a wider shot. **★★★★★ — Michael Paton, Nov. 2021** > Adam designed what we asked of him for our master bathroom re-model and was conscientious about our remodeling budget. The end result looks fantastic. He was timely in his work and took into account our tastes and practical considerations. **★★★★★ — Chris Dalesandro, Dec. 2020** > Adam designed our kitchen several years ago. He asked for my opinions and what I liked, but also made suggestions of things that pushed me outside of my typical “ styles “ and comfort zone. One of the things I remember was a section of open shelving. I was opposed to the idea, but it turned out to be one of my favorite features! > This year, after 25 years of living there, we sold our home. It sold in less than 4 days and went several thousand dollars over our asking price! > I credit the amazing kitchen remodel that Adam designed as a major factor ! > I would highly recommend Adam to create a room that is a place for your family to enjoy for years to come. **★★★★ — Andrew Schlabach, Oct. 2020** > Adam is very knowledgeable and provided us an appropriate design solution for our kitchen project. He was able to provide suggestions that we would not have thought of on our own, in addition to following our guidance on aspects that we wanted to incorporate. Our build does not begin until November and we modified a few very minor details, but we are confident we will be just as satisfied with the final build as we were with the design work **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > It was a pleasure to work with you. I can't wait to see the finished product! **★★★★★ — Jeanne Clevenger, Oct. 2020** > Great communication with Adam! Superior industry knowledge combined with design genius. Adam has fantastic insights and really listens to his clients needs. His work is outstanding and he's both personable and professional. Can't recommend him enough **★★★★★ — Bob Healey, Dec. 2019** > Adam did an excellent job in providing a quality design for my kitchen remodel. Adam was capable, thorough, friendly, and always professional. > > My small changes were quickly integrated into the overall plan. I had some special requirements, and Adam accommodated them seamlessly with good suggestions. > > He recommended a high quality construction company, and has followed up to make sure things are implemented well. > > I would strongly recommend Adam without reservation. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > I can't wait to see the finished project! Here's the rendering. **★★★★★ — Holly Walsh, Dec. 2019** > We worked with Adam Gibson on a home renovation project. > He was great to work with. We recommend his services. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > You guys were fun to work with. Thanks so much for that! **★★★★★ — Bennett Custom Homes Inc., Nov. 2019** > We had a great experience with Adam who designed a 6200 sqft spec home for us. We really like his attention to detail and ability to make the overall home design stylish and very usable. He also helped us maintain the style of the home from inside to out and throughout the home. Highly recommend Adam as an Architectural Designer. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thanks, Brian. I can't wait to see the finished product! **★★★★★ — Marti Gutwein, Nov. 2019** > We recently did a whole house update / remodel. Adam helped me to make the vision for the update of the exterior of our home a reality. He also had great ideas for updating the interior such as floating vanity cabinets and wall mounted faucets, and gave me expert advice on lighting and appliances. Love the final result! **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > You were a pleasure to work with. I hope you and Brent enjoy spending the rest of your life in your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — Sarah Hine, Nov. 2019** > Adam did a great job taking my vision and making a design that worked for our new wine bar. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to. **★★★★★ — nikkimerrill, July 2019** > We are so very happy with the amazing design Adam created and provided. He uses natural light in the most creative way, and takes all your thoughts and ideas into his design plan! We could not recommend Adam more! We are so excited to build the dream home he has created for us! **★★★★★ — Bonnie, July 2019** > Adam was great to work with for the redesign of my townhouse. It was a challenging total remodel and I had no idea where to even begin. He was instrumental in honing in on a design that worked. We had numerous iterations based on my ever-changing ideas and whims but Adam was always open to hearing me out and steering me in the right direction. His detailed plans were the key for my GC to work from throughout the 5 month project. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > As stressful as it was, considering how quickly you had to move in, you were a delight to work with! Thanks for the review. **★★★★★ — panurnberger, April 2019** > My husband and I have been working with Adam on renovating our kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms. He has presented a detailed open floor plan for the kitchen and dining area. He is very knowledgeable about appliances and discussed pro and cons of several brands. His design has maximized storage, lightening and natural light. He has created a pantry/laundry area that we had not considered but will improve our space and make our lives easier. > The bathrooms have been designed with an emphasis on safety, aging and style. The master-bathroom design relocated and enlarged the room. The walk in shower includes attractive grab bars, fold down teak seat, faucets located on the wall opposite from the shower head, dual and adjustable shower head. > Adam has been easy to work with and has offered many suggestions on how to update space to fit our lifestyle. He has been available to review and discuss issues with our contractor. We are looking forward to completing our renovation. > I would recommend Adam to friends and family. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Aw, thanks. You guys are fun to work with. I love the intellectualized approach you take with the whole project. **★★★★★ — Caroline Seger, April 2019** > Adam is a very talented designer and to add to his talents he has history of general contracting so he really understands what he needs to deliver to make everybody happy. I like that his ideas pushed me out of my comfort zone and I couldn't be happier with our Master bath remodel and am very pleased with his design for our new wine cellar which is almost complete. From the moment he stepped into my house, his ideas started flowing and his input was excellent. I felt great about my decision to use Adam and would certainly recommend him to others. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Caroline, you were a pleasure to work with. Thanks for the review. Can't wait to see (and sample) the finished wine cellar! **★★★★★ — Cassie Hilleboe, Nov. 2018** > Adam was a pleasure to work with on our design needs. He was professional, courteous and creative. I’d recommend using Adam Gibson Design for design needs. **★★★★★ — Cris Rivas, Nov. 2018** > My husband and I asked Adam to help us design a kitchen and bath remodel for our modest cape cod. The process of discovering what we wanted for our new kitchen and bath was enjoyable because of Adam's calm demeanor and expert guidance. We never felt that our time was being wasted or that we were wasting his time. Every meeting felt focused and productive, and frankly, fun. Adam has a keen eye for exceptional design and he is a good listener, which helped us hone in on what we value in a home. The drawings that Adam made for us are precise and creative, and have been incredibly helpful with our building project. We thoroughly enjoyed the process of working with Adam. Therefore, I highly recommend Adam Gibson Design. **★★★★★ — John, Sept. 2018** > Working with Adam was a great experience. We were in good hands from the start with a professional presentation of our project design and explanation of our project. The design process was a true collaboration, with Adam listening to our ideas and refining the final decisions with his expertise. In the end we were very pleased with the results. **★★★★★ — HU-413469613, July 2018** > We hired Adam to re-design our kitchen. We moved into a 20+ year old home that has lots of angular spaces. It was quite a challenge for Adam- which he took on without hesitation. The new design space includes kitchen, butlers pantry, laundry room, powder room, and sitting room/foyer. We are so excited to see the finished product. Adam is personable, extremely thorough, detail oriented, and very knowledgeable on appliances, and latest state-of-the-art gadgets for the kitchen. He used really cool software to give life to the design so that we could see how it will appear when finished. He went above and beyond for us on our project- and we really appreciate that! Our GC and all of the subcontractors, who have reviewed Adam’s plans, all comment on the exquisite detail and how much that makes their jobs easier. We are so thrilled that we hired Adam and look forward to cooking for him in our new fabulous kitchen! Thanks Adam!! **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > I can't wait to see the space completed and to sample your cooking. I attached a rendering of the upcoming powder room and bird's-eye of the whole space. Thanks for the great review! **★★★★★ — Tiffany Etter, Jan. 2018** > We completed a major overhaul of our main living area including kitchen, LR, DR, hall bath and foyer. Adam brought ideas, resources and expertise that simply would never have materialized had we attempted to do these ourselves. We could not be more pleased with the final product and when we are ready to start the next projects in the queue, we will definitely be calling on Adam again. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > You and Doug were fun to work with! Never a dull moment. Can't wait to take the final photos. Thanks for the review! **★★★★★ — Kate\_D Flock, Aug. 2017** > Adam is a very talented architect! We have seen his design work so we didn't hesitate to call him when we needed help with a major renovation! Adam listened and responded to our requests for certain features and in the final result our floor plan has everything we need to move forward! Adam is an amazing resource and a pleasure to work with! **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Aw, you guys are such a pleasure to work with. Thanks for the review! **★★★★★ — Donn Detzler, Aug. 2017** > Adam designed and oversaw the building of our office and lab facility. I wanted a very specific, high tech look...with solid glass walls, etc. It needed to be a perfect match of form and function. Adam "got" my vision and did a fantastic job. Our building was host to many visitors from Asia and we received many compliments..... **★★★★★ — Jennie Pyrz, Aug. 2017** > Construction underway on our new addition and kitchen renovation! Adam's design is spot on for what we need - not too big, not too fancy (although he can certainly do both), but just the right size and layout to match what we were dreaming of! Adam was great to work with, very accommodating and helpful with suggestions on the little things that make the biggest impact. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > It's not every day that I get a pair of engineers as clients! What a pleasure to work with you. Can wait for the finished product. Thanks for the review! **★★★★★ — AAron nAAs, Nov. 2016** > Adam was recommended by friends who were delighted with his designs. We were starting a kitchen renovation, and employed Adam's services. He is very pleasant and easy to work with. We met several times and through some interesting back-and-forth conversations, ended up with a design that was unique, useful and perfect for our needs/desires. Adam also assisted us with finding a general contractor to start the implementation. **★★★★★ — Nancy Bate, Nov. 2016** > Adam is an excellent listener. He has great ideas and is very experienced. He gave us a very practical and beautiful design for our master bath. He designed a stepped vanity to accomodate the height difference between my husband and me. It is working out great. Our bathroom is more spacious than I ever imagined it could be. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thanks for your effusive comments. I loved working with you and Gene, and look forward to the next one! EDIT: Now that the kitchen is complete, as well as the bath, how does it feel to have your home featured in Indianapolis' finest luxury lifestyle magazine: Sophisticated Living. **★★★★★ — SANTAROSSA MOSAIC & TILE CO INC, Feb. 2016** > Adam is a joy to work with! We enjoy having him here in the Indiana Design Center! A great designer who pays great attention to detail! **★★★★★ — jbcindy, Dec. 2015** > I collaborated with Adam on a mudroom/alcove/guest bath renovation. On a personal level, he is warm and approachable. And as a professional, he is a natural partner who can give life to your ideas and ultimate intentions in new and interesting ways. > > My project involved a lot of "back and forth" during both the design and construction phase. Adam was always very responsive and willing to help modify our plans to accommodate current conditions. > > But the proof is always in the final product, and I regularly receive comments from people who knew the "before" that the after fare exceeds anything they could have imagine being done with the space. **★★★★★ — clacrosse96, Dec. 2015** > Wow! Adam came to my house to meet me and discuss my kitchen remodel ideas and needs. He asked so many questions about me, my kids and our needs. He immediately knocked the ideas out. He pushed the design well past my imagination. He allowed my home and space to grow into what I have always wanted my home to be. This has truly been an incredible process for me and my home. > Adam will not only create a brilliant first floor for us, but, he will create the home we have always wanted. > > I am literally in awe of what he has created for me. I am so lucky to be able to work with such a kind, generous and talented designer. **★★★★★ — shoburns, Dec. 2015** > We interviewed designers with large kitchen showrooms to small independents for our kitchen and great room remodel. We selected Adam Gibson because of his independence, i.e. not affiliated with a particular supplier or manufacturer, his passion for doing modern designs and his prior experience as a general contractor building homes. Adam is very knowledgeable of the trade and collaborated with us to turn our collective ideas into a beautiful design incorporating a modern kitchen that opens into a two story great room. There are captivating features such as new two story state-of-the-art windows that overlook our lake, a refaced natural stone fireplace and a ceiling soffit that transforms the space with lighting to fit any mood. The design plans included renderings, elevation drawings and multiple plans (construction, cabinet and electrical) in full detail. When the plans were completed, Adam defused our anxiety over finding the right general contractor by explaining how to approach the selection process and providing recommendations. Adam also helped with our selection of materials and finishes for our project by pointing us in the right direction on where to begin looking. During implementation the subcontractors were able to easily execute the design from the detailed plans and Adam was available to address any questions that surfaced. We would use Adam again for any future design project and highly recommend him if you want a creative well thought out design. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > What an effusive review. You were a pleasure to work with. I love the design and can't wait for a dinner invitation! **★★★★★ — Steph Seger, Nov. 2015** > We live in an older 1926 home that needed some updating. We had a challenge in that our kitchen was tight and had an awkward layout. Adam was able to redesign our kitchen/family room by eliminating a large load bearing wall, which opened everything up and maximized the use of space. He has a clear vision and made the design process very easy for us. Our contractor loved the detail that Adam's prints provide which makes us feel much more confident that our project will turn out exactly how we want it. We would recommend Adam Gibson! **★★★★★ — teacherladyjan, Jan. 2015** > Unhappy with the inadequacies of the free "designs" we received from some local cabinet shops, we asked Adam to redesign our circa 1952, kitchen, which was last updated in the avocado-hued 70's. It was an unholy mess with 3 doorways, a closet, one window, and only 24 inches of food prep counter space between the stove and refrigerator. Adam saw the potential where we could only imagine the constraints. His design completely reimagined the space while incorporating the best of our ideas and adhering to our budget constraints. His price was very reasonable and well worth the money. Although we had to do an interim makeover and have yet to complete the entire project, I know when we do finish, it will be amazing, and I generally despise the over-use of that word. Adam is a just a talented designer, and a good guy who doesn't turn his nose up at middle income folks like us who buy fixer-uppers and haven't a ton of money to spend on one room. I wish we'd had him design our basement rec room and our bathrooms as well. I'm sure he can do it all. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Wow, what an effusive bunch of compliments! You were a pleasure to work with. I wait with bated breath for the finished product. Thanks so much! **★★★★★ — n1n3y, Dec. 2014** > My husband found Adam listed on the Houzz website. Normally, he and I can do most renovations ourselves, but the final renovation of our house was our master bath and it was going to involve moving walls. We also wanted the bathroom to be wheel chair accessible for possible future needs. We knew that we needed a professional who could draw the blueprints and had familiarity of ADA guidelines. Adam met with me and I explained what I needed. He then got to work measuring and inspecting walls, electrical and even the crawl space to check the subfloor. It wasn't long after that meeting that I received an e-mail from him that included a rough draft. We went back and forth a few times hashing out details of the rough draft through e-mails. After about 6 weeks we had a final blueprint. This might have been quicker, but we were on vacation for a while during this planing stage. It's exactly what we wanted! Very professional plans that we can follow. We have not been able to execute his plans yet, we have to first finish a terrace and deck project started this year and we have a wedding coming up, but we hope to start our master bath redo this spring. Adam is a pleasure to work with. He keeps currant on new developments in ADA design. His communication skills are excellent and he is very attuned to the client's needs. We cannot wait to start our master bath project. We will have wider doorways and a walk-in shower and better use of our space, thanks to Adam. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thanks Nancy for the great review. You were fun to work with. Can't wait to see the finished project! **★★★★★ — golandod, Dec. 2014** > Adam did a wonderful job on designing our first floor house remodel. We were looking to bump out the back of the house to make a bigger kitchen. Didn't have to with Adam's design, we were able to open up the current space and build the kitchen that we always wanted. I think where he really shined was with the lighting selections and placement. **★★★★★ — Chief Architect, Oct. 2014** > Chief Architect Software has enjoyed a partnership with Adam for over 7 years. He has provided us with renderings of select designs for use in Chief Architect Marketing materials including the home featured on the cover of our Chief Architect X6 Premier product packaging. Thank you for working with us Adam! > > Chief Architect Marketing **★★★★★ — Kelly Wessel, Sept. 2014** > We hired Adam through the recommendation of our builder. We already had concept drawings, but needed more detailed, build-able plans for our construction. Adam was helpful and gave us options! Very easy to work with and with the help of everyone involved, we have a beautiful new space that we love!! **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thanks Kelly! It was a pleasure working with you. Enjoy your home! **★★★★★ — jefferythomas1, Sept. 2014** > I've worked with Adam on several projects. I always look forward to his innovative designs, his thoroughness to every detail and clear understanding of what it really takes to get the job done the right way. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a true professional in the design field. **★★★★★ — Central Construction Group, Inc., Aug. 2014** > As a remodeling construction professional, we have worked with many different architects and designers over the years for many different project types. When I first received the design plans from Adam Gibson Design for a luxury kitchen room addition, I was overwhelmed with the attention to detail on the plans and the overall elegance within the design details. I can say without hesitation that these are one of the most detailed plans we have seen in a long time! It has made our job much easier as a contractor to execute the project without an abundance of surprises and any questions that did arise, Adam was always immediately available for us and the client. It has been a pleasure to be involved in the execution of Adam's design vision for the client, he is truly a very talented designer and we look forward to working together again very soon! **★★★★★ — rwojcieszek, Aug. 2014** > We worked with Adam on a major kitchen renovation for an older home (built in 1918). The project was quite involved as it included extending the footprint of the home; consequently structural issues added to the complexity. We have been amazed by Adam's work and he has been a pleasure to work with. He is someone that is a first-rate architect/designer with impeccable taste that also has deep construction knowledge. Consequently, his drawings are very detailed and thorough and help ensure that the design is executed flawlessly by the general contractor. I highly recommend him for anyone considering a home renovation. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thanks so much for the rave review! It's been a pleasure working with you. I look forward to the first meal! **★★★★★ — jkalus, March 2014** > We enjoyed working with Adam from start to finish. He created a perfect space for our family; one that we still love living in eight years later. Adam is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to functional design. It was wonderful to have him handle every single detail of our very extensive project. We were introduced to Adam as he had just finished a friend's kitchen. After seeing the design and workmanship, our decision was made. We would happily recommend him to anyone considering a renovation project. **★★★★★ — User, March 2014** > Adam Gibson Design brings to the table everything we've looked for in a designer. An easy-going, no pressure mindset, an enthusiasm for his craft and a keen awareness of available design elements and current trends. > > Whether it was addressing something singular (lighting, space-planning, furniture recommendations), or wholesale changes (remodeling, additions), Adam approaches each with the mindset that it's not simply a task, but rather someone's home. > > He's very easy to work with and I highly recommend him for your next project. **★★★★★ — The Premier Group - Luxury Electronic Lifestyles, March 2014** > "We hired Adam Gibson Design to bring his skills to a very large project. His thoroughness and attention to detail were critical to the success of the project. The goal was to convert a 2500 sq. ft. lower level in a newly constructed residence into an environment ideal for entertaining with a "WOW" factor! The challenge was to create unique spaces the flowed through the open floor plan, without noticing typical construction elements like bulkheads, beams, and posts. Adam's ability to interpret Premier's creative concepts into detailed drawings that the client could visualize, combined with the technical build information the contractor required, made for a seamless process that brought tremendous value to all parties. The end result is a dynamic space that remains cohesive in design throughout the bar area, home theater, gaming and gathering spaces." - Jason Barth (The Premier Group) **★★★★★ — Heather, Dec. 2013** > My husband & I wanted to remodel our master bath. We had a great contractor but the three of us just couldn't come up with a good plan to make the space more usable. I took my floor plans to Adam Gibson & told him what we wanted in our new bathroom. We wanted a larger closet, larger shower, separate room for the toilet, & a double sink. Adam came up with a great plan and we were able to get everything we wanted in the space. **★★★★★ — Corinthian Fine Homes, Nov. 2013** > I have known and been working with Adam Gibson Design for over 6 years, Adam has been consistently provided me and my clients with great, innovative designs. His designs and space planning are thorough and well thought out and Adams lighting packages and layouts are second to none. I would strongly recommend Adam Gibson Design! **★★★★★ — Chris Dalesandro, Nov. 2013** > Adam was great to work with! He helped me figure out what I liked by looking through several magazines and sites. He was good at taking specific items that I really liked and giving me options at what would work well with those pieces. Adam also was great at working within my budget. **★★★★★ — Pennville Custom Cabinetry, Nov. 2013** > Adam and I have worked together on several projects. Not only are Adam's renderings beautiful and life-like, but the actual projects always turn out to be the kind of space you just dream about living in. Adam is a renaissance man who is great at every aspect of design from space planning to photography. Most importantly, though, Adam just has a gift when it comes to creating beautiful, functional, and environmentally sustainable spaces. **★★★★★ — Shelby, Nov. 2013** > Adam designed my master bath, kitchen and a complete redesign of my basement to include a bar and game room area. He is extremely knowledgeable and has incredible attention to detail. His lighting plans in all the designs complement and add to beauty and functionality of the rooms he designs. We have been beyond pleased with all of our finished products. **★★★★★ — Chris Dossman, Nov. 2013** > I was very pleased with Adam and the designs he drew up for our kitchen remodel. He spent a lot of time listening and asking questions, as well as examining our floor plan. We knew financially that we couldn't go 'full out' in opening up the kitchen to the dining room, but I was adamant that we could not just remodel the 'galley' kitchen and leave it at that. Adam was able to draw up a compromise plan and we love it. His plans are awesome and we are so excited to move forward. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Thanks Chris! I need to come by soon and photograph. > Adam **★★★★★ — syoo, Nov. 2013** > Adam designed the remodeling of my kitchen which required some creative thinking due to its layout. He did a fantastic job and came up with some wonderful ideas. **★★★★★ — safoglio, Nov. 2013** > We hired Adam to design an entertainment cabinet for our family room. Desiring something in keeping with our home’s 1930s period, yet sleek and elegant, he didn't disappoint. His attention to the smallest detail, right down to the precise width and depth of shadow lines (who thinks of shadow lines?) got us a functional and beautiful piece of built-in furniture that even the custom cabinet maker admired. Since he’s a photographer as well, perhaps he’ll shoot it one day! Adam? For now, here’s one of his renderings. He is an amazing talent. I highly recommend him as he is professional in all aspects of his craft. **★★★★ — ycatoira, Nov. 2013** > Adam designed our dream addition which allowed us to discuss pricing in details with prospective builders. He provided renderings and was very available to hear what we wanted each step of the way, and was very resposnsive by email! we eventually went with a less expensive project which is what we could afford and he was very supportive! Would recommend him without reservations...we are now building our master bath and walking closet and turning an attached garage into a family room. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > You write in English quite well for a Brazilian! Thanks for the review! > Adam **★★★★★ — dtravelingdog, Nov. 2013** > Adam did a great job designing a complete overhaul and expansion of our master bedroom, bathroom and closet with laundry area. He also designed our kitchen, which is reviewed on houzz under Adam Gibson Design. Adam's designs possess great attention to detail that encourage using only the finest materials. He willingly worked on a fee basis with our contractor to ensure the build-out was compliant with his design. Adam is a friend of ours, and we continue to wish him well. **Comment from Adam Gibson Design:** > Wow! What an effusive recommendation. Thanks so much. It was a pleasure to work with you and Susie. Can't wait to tackle the master suite! > > Two years later and and now the master suite is complete. I'll get some pictures up soon, huh David? ## Selected projects - [Modern on the Inside](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-on-the-inside-pj-vj~368999) - Location: Indianapolis, IN - Photos: 4 - Description: This newly constructed home looks like a large Cape Cod from the outside to better blend into the established neighborhood. - [Rustic meets Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-meets-modern-pj-vj~6418905) - Location: Bargersville, IN - Photos: 7 - Description: Our take on a modern, yet rustic, new home. - [KITCHEN Indianapolis ADA Loft Custom Blue Cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-indianapolis-ada-loft-custom-blue-cabinetry-pj-vj~6808379) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: Downtown Indianapolis Loft Kitchen renovation by Central Construction Group, Inc. Our client needed additional railing in the space so he could comfortably move around in his desk chair. Our client is able to stand as long as he can pull up on the railing.

After removing what felt like countless walls, we put the kitchen close to the entry so it felt like part of the original space. The baths were able to reside in one of the additions. - [Modern With a Twist](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-with-a-twist-pj-vj~2623642) - Location: Indianapolis, IN - Photos: 10 - Description: The clients desired a modern, open-concept space to enjoy with their young family. The old kitchen was cramped and very dark. Since I love an infusion of natural light, in addition to removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, it was a no-brainer to install a couple of Solatube tubular skylights, which magnify light more than conventional skylights. But we didn't want to discard some of the home's unique charms. The gorgeous art-deco glass tile backsplash was salvaged, and the curves… - [Cabana Outdoor Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cabana-outdoor-kitchen-pj-vj~7063992) - Location: Indianapolis, IN - Photos: 19 - Description: When we designed this home in 2011, we ensured that the geothermal loop would avoid a future pool. Eleven years later, the dream is complete. Many of the cabana’s elements match the house.

When viewed from the main house, one looks through the cabana into the virgin forest beyond. - [Front and Back Porch Additions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-and-back-porch-additions-pj-vj~6769084) - Location: West Lafayette, IN - Photos: 8 - Description: This zero-maintenance faux cedar exterior (except for the real cedar posts and beams) was a dreary old ranch house.

The length of seating area ? Please A: 52" seating space on the sides and 60" width of the island. **Q: Benefit of the side gas hob?** *(in Photo Questions)* I recently learning about induction cooktops and I'm super excited to try it. I have always had electric stovetop, first coil top then ceramic. I don't like how the ceramic stays hot a long time and bakes on any spills. I also like the idea of gas, re temperature control ( hot or simmer), but I'm aware they are challenging to clean as well. I'm considering having this set up in a kitchen I'm planning. Other than being able to use the gas stove hob in a power failure, what is the other benefit(s) of adding a side gas hob to an induction cooktop? Please and thank you! A: In this case, the gas hob is a super-high (38,500) BTU wok burner, which is the only scenario in which I'd recommend gas. I have had clients who were reluctant to jump into induction and would request a two-burner gas hob next to the induction cooktop, but they rarely end up using the gas hob. Induction is so efficient, gives the warmest simmer and the hottest sear, and is easy to clean. Nobody ever goes back. **Q: Tile and cabinet colors please** *(in Photo Questions)* HI- what are the cabinet paint colors and the what backsplash tile is this? Thanks A: I wish I could but I no longer have the info. **Q: love those barstools** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I find those barstools? A: I'm sorry, but the client purchased them on their own. I don't know. **Q: Pic** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this house in Indianapolis. It is absolutely stunning in all of its details. A: Good to know. Thanks for the compliment. It's in Bridgewater. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-22.*
