Introduction: While we’d like to get to know you better, you’d initially probably like to get a sense for who we are and where we’re coming from. That way, you can see the places we’ll get to, together. REspace launched in 2017 as a virtual architecture firm located in Collinsville, IL. The business concept has been percolating for more than 20 years. Founders and Architects, Eric Bratzler and Ryan C. Suess, realized early on in their respective careers that the sound use of current technology could be leveraged in the architectural field to make the process of creating architecture more efficient. As time passed, they watched more businesses move into the cloud, allowing efficient collaboration regardless of location. Bolstered by the growing number of architecture firms adopting this model, we believed the time was ripe to execute our vision. As a virtual firm, we spend our resources on smart technology and personal visits to meet with our clients face-to-face. Our hands-on approach allows us to offer high-end service with unprecedented accessibility and efficiency. This is a philosophical choice, and an unwavering commitment we make to our clients. Space, in an architectural sense, is about the parity of positive and negative; passive and active; interior and exterior. At REspace Design, we’re inspired by this dichotomy. We purposefully build a diverse team of professionals who lend different experiences, perspectives, and stylistic sensibilities to your project, which allows us to reimagine, redefine, and repurpose space in original and distinct ways. The commitment to our craft, efficient use of technology, and our customized, in-person services enable us to see our projects through our clients’ eyes. Whether we are designing your dream home, redesigning a commercial or office space, or developing a strategy to make an old structure more energy efficient, our goal is always the same: to provide every client with the space that fits their specific vision and lifestyle.
