    Lily Pai Designs LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Indianapolis
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 3, 2021
    “We added a four season room with lots of windows and high ceiling to our existing home. Lily provided architectural design services for the project. She listened carefully to our thoughts, presented her ideas on the design, and encouraged us to really bring the outdoors into the room. She was excellent to work with. Her drawings were completed on the timeline she gave. We had a couple of modifications after her initial drawings and she immediately worked those into the design. The final product was perfect! You'd never know the room was an addition and not part of the original structure. Lily also looked at our ideas on paint color and flooring and helped us finalize our selection. Highly recommend and would definitely use Lily on another project!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 18, 2018
    “Paul isn't just an architect. He's an artist who uses architecture as his medium. In 2010, we engaged him to help us design and build our dream home that we now call Cabins in the Woods. He knew all about how to integrate materials to create a home that would be low maintenance for us as we age. Paul paid attention to every detail and he truly integrated our home with the wooded setting surrounding it. We LOVE every day that we get to live in this beautiful place. Thank you so much, Paul, for listening so well and for being so meticulous with your craft.”

    “We used Trade Design Studio to redesign the main floor of our 120 year old house. The home was dark with many small rooms, and Trade Design Studio opened it up and made bright and airy. It now feels like home! We loved working them on our home and had a wonderful experience. They were very creative and came up with several floor plans and always wanted to know our thoughts and ideas. We would hire Trade Design Studio again in a second. I highly recommend them.”
