Designing your Dream Home with Jay Takach, of Evolo Design

Navigating the curves through winding roads past some of Cincinnati’s finest estates in Indian Hill, you’ll come to a lot where the newest addition to this beautiful neighborhood is taking shape. Not long ago, a family living in Mason decided to purchase a 5-acre lot located in the heart of Indian Hill. With the expert guidance of Jay Takach, Creative Director at Evolo Design in Montgomery, they are finally building their dream home. This family is excited to embark on such a special project, their fifth working with Evolo.

“We knew we were in great hands with Evolo. They are some of the top designers in the country with contacts all over the world. We love what they’ve done with our other projects, and have no doubt that they will do everything it takes to make our forever home in Cincinnati everything we want for our family,” said one owner.

Takach started by recommending local architect Mike Wentz, who he knew would work well with the owners and had expertise in their type of project. Working hand-in-hand with the architects and the owners, the team at Evolo Design helped the owners review plans to ensure each room was laid out to take best advantage of the property’s views, specified custom millwork on cabinetry, and looked at every detail down to the location of every electrical outlet. The goal was to create a home that looks like it has been part of Indian Hill for decades.

A keen eye for detail and working with top craftsman are important aspects of a project like this. Takach selected top-of-the line Woodmode cabinetry and Artistic Tile to be used throughout the home. Custom ironworks are crafting the railings and other custom details. The project was entrusted to builder Cedar Hill Homes, and will rely on local craftsmen to make the space truly one of a kind.

“We are designing this home to reflect the owners’ personalities while meeting their family’s space needs to accommodate every activity they spend their time doing from work to play.” For the next phase, Takach will be pulling together the interiors based on inspiration from the latest fabrics and designs as well as his knowledge of the couple. “I’m looking at beautiful rugs from Edward Fields and beautiful wall coverings from Gracie Studios for the Dining Room--there’s nothing like having to work at home to make you realize how important it is to surround yourself with colors and accessories that keep you calm, recharged and inspired,” says Takach.
