Home Design & Construction in Irving Park

Irving Park has an architectural history that gives the neighborhood its character.

Victorian homes, turn of the century houses, classic Chicago bungalows, two flats, and distinctive pockets such as Old Irving Park and The Villa create a neighborhood where no two blocks quite feel the same. The Villa is also a designated Chicago landmark district, known for its Arts and Crafts and Prairie School influenced homes.

That character matters when you decide to change a home.

Maybe the kitchen needs to become part of the main living space. Maybe the family needs another bedroom. Maybe the back of the house could connect better to the yard. Or perhaps years of smaller updates have left the home feeling disconnected.

The opportunity is to make the house work differently without losing what made it worth keeping.

Crimson looks at the existing architecture, the lot, and the way you live before deciding what should change.

In areas such as Old Irving Park, where residents have specifically worked to preserve the scale, open space, and architectural character of the neighborhood, that relationship between old and new becomes even more important.

The goal is not to make the home look like it belongs somewhere else.

It is to give the home a better future while keeping what makes it belong here.
