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 are Collinsville IL & St. Louis Metro Architects who launched the business 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.
