Home Design & Construction in lincoln square

Thoughtful architecture, interior design, and construction for Lincoln Square homes. From additions and whole home renovations to kitchens, ADUs, outdoor living, and custom homes, Crimson brings the entire project together under one team.

Since 2000, Crimson Design & Construction has helped homeowners throughout Chicago, Naperville, the North Shore, and Chicagoland create homes that work better for the way they live. Founded by Glenn with the goal of bringing architecture and contracting together, Crimson has grown into a team of architects, designers, and builders working together under one roof.

A SENSE OF PLACE

A Home That Belongs to the Neighborhood

Lincoln Square has a distinctly residential character.


Greystones, bungalows, Victorian homes, two flats, and Prairie influenced houses sit along tree lined streets, creating a mix of architecture that has developed over generations. Much of the area's residential character dates back to the early twentieth century, when two and three flats became especially common west of Lincoln Avenue.


That variety gives homeowners plenty to work with.

Maybe the original layout no longer suits the way your family lives. Maybe the kitchen needs to open into the rest of the house. Maybe there is room to extend toward the back of the property, or perhaps years of smaller renovations have left the home feeling disconnected.


The challenge is creating something better without losing the qualities that make the house feel like it belongs here.

Crimson looks at the architecture, the property, and the way you live as one project.


The result might be a carefully considered addition, a completely reworked interior, or a combination of both.


Because in a neighborhood like Lincoln Square, the best renovation is not necessarily the one that changes the most.

It is the one that gets the right things right.
