draft

A labor of love.

We built draft between 2020-2022.

Ever since we took a hard shift in industries and followed our passions for a career, we had dreamed of making space for the entrepreneurial and creative community here in Indy. When we first started Open Frame we had little resources: in business, in community, in know-how but we made up for that with boundless energy, a commitment to learning and the mastering of building out spaces, and a love for connecting with others. Through projects, we found Indy was full of creative talent and people who were ready to collaborate.

draft is a place to learn in transparency and vulnerability, to take a load off, to be seen, to test out ideas with genuine support, and to be celebrated. It’s a place that feels good by design but more importantly because of the people who choose to reside there.

We opened draft in early 2023 and the amount of good that has come out of this project is immeasurable.

Day 1 of renovations

After many many storms, we were able to get the second floor up.

SoBro Bungalow

A kitchen for Olivia and David in their SoBro bungalow. We opened up their space while honoring the original thought behind this early 1900s build.

When we first walked through their space it was obvious at how much these two had a heart for one another, their pups, nature, and their community. Soft arches, honey oaks, brass undertones and organic materials throughout was the ticket.

It was such a joy to work with Olivia and David on their home. Below are photos of their project.
