Curving streets, mature trees, distinctive homes, and the landscape shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted give the village a character that is immediately recognizable. Riverside's Landscape Architectural District is also designated as a National Historic Landmark, making the relationship between homes, streets, and landscape especially important.

That matters when a home needs to change.

An addition should feel connected to the original house. A renovation should respect the qualities that give the property its identity. And new spaces should feel considered within the landscape rather than simply placed on top of it.

Sometimes the opportunity is a larger kitchen.

Sometimes it is an addition that gives the family room to grow.

Sometimes the entire home needs to be reconsidered.

Crimson starts by understanding what is already there, then looks for the right way to move it forward.

For designated historic properties, Riverside requires a Certificate of Appropriateness for certain exterior work, including additions and other permitted alterations.

The goal is not to make the home something it was never meant to be.

It is to help it become the best version of itself.
