Wicker Park is a neighborhood of Victorian mansions, workers' cottages, and converted lofts where old and new housing sit side by side. Most homes here are Victorian homes, cottages, and lofts, built in the 1880s and 1890s, with everything from ornate original millwork to exposed-brick loft shells.
Millwork in a period home is about matching profiles and proportions to the era, then fabricating to fit walls that are never quite square. Old and new sit block to block here, so we're either matching ornate 1890s detail or building clean-lined for a loft, and the design direction changes with the address.
Millwork is the category that ties a whole home together: wall paneling, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, window seats, trim packages, and one-off feature pieces. We design the profiles and proportions to match your home's era and your taste, then match the job to the right fabricator on our bench and manage the install. Because it is made to measure, it fits walls that are never quite square and reads as original architecture.
