Text description provided by the architects. The owners desired to create a new a standalone residence that incorporates DNA of the historic Landmark District to preserve the street experience and acts as an expression of their style and personality. The Wicker Park Residence resides among and shares its street front with historic homes that represent some of Chicago’s largest and best examples of Victorian-era architecture. The landmark designation, which placed prescriptive rules for any new construction in the neighborhood, inspired a reinterpretation of traditional materials and detailing.
