Artistry
The goals for Phase 1 were to design a building that would:
- Serve as a gateway and catalyst for the revitalization of the Market East Cultural District
- Create a vibrant mixed-use development through the adaptive reuse of the former Bank One Operations Center
- Emphasize an urban industrial aesthetic through the physical reuse of the existing building structure
- Promote an urban apartment community that is enhanced by its dynamic outdoor living environment
Challenges and Opportunities
Phase I of the project was particularly challenging due to the owner’s intent to build up from an existing structure. The configuration of the existing structure required that designers incorporate a number of potentially awkward column locations. Ultimately, this became a feature of the building design as the column placement dictated a wide array of residential unit variations and influenced the façade. By addressing these challenges with unique design solutions, the owner can offer tenants more layout options and the building boasts a more dynamic façade that brings new life to the streetscape. An open third floor pool and recreation deck provides dramatic views of the downtown area for all residents along with two interior courtyards featuring a fountain, vegetable garden, bocce court, and putting green.
Mentor and Muse
CSO went on to design Phase 2 of the project, which involved the addition of two buildings, the Mentor and Muse at Artistry, which provide additional living options to fit different types of lifestyles, including 354 square foot eco-suites for those who need minimal space.

The Olivia on Main
A Welcoming Amenity Hub Designed for Every Level of Social Connection
Upon arrival to the amenity center and leasing offices, visitors and residents are welcomed by an open concept with views to multiple engagement spaces. The design team planned the amenity center to allow residents and visitors to choose their level of social interaction within the space. On axis with the entry is a beautiful stone island and hospitality center. Intentionally located as the heart of the space, much like today’s residential kitchens, it serves as an informal gathering space, a hospitality space, and meeting location. From this central location residents and visitors may choose to further explore the space. Upon exploration, they will find a private movie room, fitness center, conference space, business center, gaming lounge, and finally a private library lounge.

Glass Façade Transforms the Entrance
The entrance, once clad in uninviting, reflective black glass, now features a welcoming glass façade. Low-iron glass allows natural light to flood interior spaces, highlighting a custom-designed public art installation inspired by the nearby Soldiers and Sailors monument and the area’s history.
11th-Floor Amenity Center
The 11th floor has been revitalized as an amenity center with a rooftop pool that benefits from sunlight reflected off an adjacent limestone wall.

River North at Keystone
Design That Draws You Outward
Upon entering the 116,836 square foot, 5-story building, visitors are immediately drawn to the pass-through views of the lake. The interior design is intentionally subtle, but sophisticated. This design philosophy encourages the eye to continue outward to reinforce the connection to nature. Biophilic patterns can be found throughout the interior design, which is a unique concept for multi-tenant development.
Biophilic Design, Thoughtfully Detailed
The views to the water and connection to nature were leveraged, and to further the biophilic story the design team incorporated biomorphic patterns within the interior wood cladding, utilized simple-natural materials, and homed in on the human desire for an identifiable but safe risk situation at the glass railing overlook. The natural beauty of the walnut wood is observed from the main floor on the underside of the stairs and is intended to symbolize the complexity and order found in nature.
Refined Office Experience Within Vibrant Mixed‑Use Destination
The River North office building at its core incorporates a simplistic design approach. However, digging deeper, the design is extremely complex and unique to the market. The design provides a piece of serenity within a continually evolving and very desirable area of Indianapolis. Visitors and tenants enjoy, within walking distance, many of the City’s most highly regarded restaurants and retail shops. This building is part of a holistic redevelopment of Keystone at the Crossing, including a five-story, 198-unit apartment building and parking garage, and a 129-room Hampton Inn & Suites Hotel.
