Exterior Stucco Evokes Old European Aesthetic for Future Naperville, Illinois Expansion
Naperville, Illinois consistently ranks among America’s top cities on several metrics, including lifestyle, safety, green space and education. Located approximately 30 miles west of Chicago, the community is known as a great place to raise a family while enjoying the economic benefits of close proximity to Chicago. With nearly 150,000 residents, the city has maintained steady and well-planned growth over the years. The downtown area includes the historic Naper Settlement, the bustling Water Street District, and the popular River Walk as well as plenty of shopping, restaurants, and parks. In 2017, Charleston Building and Development, a family-owned firm since 1998, broke ground on a six-unit custom row house residence located within walking distance of Naperville’s vibrant hub.
After securing the land site, the developers contracted with local architect, Chris Derrick, Principal and owner of Derrick Architecture, to design the building. He explained the original concept behind the project.
