Welcome

Chryssa Wolfe
Visionary Designer
My name is Chryssa Wolfe and I'm President of Hanlon Design Build, an architectural and custom build firm based in the Palisades community of Washington, DC. Over my 25 plus years in the DC residential construction market, I have assembled a unique and diverse group of architects, designers, engineers, artisans, and craftsmen to help in the creation of our homes. This broad array of talent has enabled Hanlon Design Build to become one of the most sought after and highly regarded custom builders and remodelers in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia region.

As a professional artist, I have maintained a passion for architecture and design all my life. My partner, Jake Hanlon, is an engineer who excels in building science and technology. His analytical thoughts converge with my creative visions to form not only a complementary, but also a synergistic foundation for our company. Our team of architects, designers, and engineers provide us with the confluence of ideas necessary to promote unbridled creativity while maintaining an unwavering focus on sound building principles. By implementing an innovative problem-solving based approach to contracting, as well as mandating impeccable workmanship and tireless attention to detail, we create optimally functional homes that are flawlessly crafted and designed.
