A SENSE OF PLACE
A Home Should Feel Connected to Its Surroundings
Historic cottages, early twentieth century homes, traditional residences, newer construction, wooded properties, and homes shaped by the lake all come together within a relatively small community. The Village itself describes Lake Bluff as having a distinctive natural and built character, with preservation playing an important role in the community.
That makes the relationship between a home and its surroundings especially important.
A renovation should respond to the property rather than ignore it.
An addition might open the house toward the garden.
A new kitchen might completely change how the main floor is used. A second story could give a growing family the space they need without giving up the home or neighborhood they already love.
The best changes do not erase what is there.
They build on it.
Crimson looks at the architecture, property, and way you live together to determine what the home could become.
