In today’s episode of the Build Show, Matt visits Indiana to tour a spectacular carriage house project by Duke Homes, just outside Indianapolis. Joined by Mike Duke and his son Isaac, Matt explores how this family-run builder blends craftsmanship, innovation, and deep local roots into every detail. The carriage house features a half-court basketball and pickleball setup, a golf simulator, and a pool space—all framed with efficient wood construction and designed for family living. Mike shares insights into practical framing, insulation strategies, and mini-split HVAC systems, while Isaac walks Matt through the main house, highlighting smart details like conduit planning, clean jobsite practices, and high-performance wall assemblies. With nearly 40 years of experience, Duke Homes demonstrates how to create spaces that are both beautiful and buildable, rooted in heritage yet forward-thinking. This episode is an inspiring look at how vision and craftsmanship can elevate everyday living.
