Indianapolis Restaurant + Hospitality Design

Shea has been designing in the Indianapolis market for years, building deep partnerships with the hospitality operators defining the city’s dining culture.

Shea in Indianapolis

Our team partnered with Huse Culinary on 1933 Lounge by St. Elmo in Carmel, a 200-seat, post-Prohibition-inspired restaurant and bar that’s received wide praise for its detailed, immersive design.

We also designed 1933 Lounge + HC Tavern at Indianapolis International Airport, blending two beloved concepts into a single elevated airport dining experience. And our Huse partnership continues: we recently designed Harry & Izzy’s first location outside of Indiana, opened in Paradise Valley, AZ.

With the team at Rootstock Hospitality, we transformed a former Granite City location to be unrecognizable as it became Aberdeen Social House, with a private whiskey bar, Ash. 

And back at IND airport, we partnered with SSP America to create The Farmers' Market, providing a space for Indiana Grown members to showcase their locally grown produce to travelers with a seasonal menu of dishes.

From a legendary steakhouse brand’s newest concept to immersive airport dining, Shea extends brand through physical space with every touchpoint serving as a way to reach guests.

Let's talk

Shea is a multidisciplinary design firm that transforms ideas into high-performing design, aligning strategy, space, and business goals from the start. We create consumer-focused environments for restaurants, hospitality, retail, private clubs, wellness, and workplaces; spaces where experience and impact matter.

Together with SheaMakes—our in-house production and implementation team—we bring more than 50 architects, interior designers, brand and graphic designers, and production experts together as one. The result: ideas stay true, handoffs stay tight, and the vision is realized.

We’ve been building in Indianapolis and we’re not slowing down. Whether you’re developing a new concept, planning a renovation, or thinking about your next move, we’d love to hear about it.
