Wheaton has the kind of neighborhoods where homes become part of the landscape over time.

Mature trees, established streets, older homes, newer construction, and a mix of architectural styles give different parts of the community their own character.

That makes a renovation about more than what happens inside the walls.

The right addition should make sense with the house that is already there. A new kitchen should improve the way the entire first floor works. And a larger renovation should feel like a considered transformation rather than a collection of separate rooms.

Wheaton's Northside Residential Overlay District is one example of how the city approaches this relationship, with specific design considerations for additions and new construction intended to remain compatible with the scale, character, and siting of existing homes.

For Crimson, that starts with understanding the property before deciding what to change.

What works.
What does not.
What should stay.
And where there is an opportunity to do something better.

The result should feel like a natural evolution of the home, not something imposed on it.
