Pink houses are always magical — and even more so when their cheerful hue comes from the use of reclaimed common brick! This beautiful single family residence in Wrigleyville came about as a collaboration with our friends at Barrett Homes. Though decidedly modern inside, the new construction property looks right at home amongst its turn-of-the-century neighbors thanks to the careful brick selection (a particularly gorgeous batch of “Light Pink”). Recessed, divided light windows, a traditional roofline, and that quintessentially-Chicago front stoop also contribute to infuse the design with a touch of history.
The bricks carry over to the rear of the house, where a two-level outdoor patio encompasses the backyard and the top of the garage. A separate rooftop terrace sprawls across the third floor; each sunny deck is hemmed in by a masonry knee wall around the perimeter for safety. For anyone counting… that’s THREE unique outdoor spaces hidden behind one classic facade. Amazing!
