What People Are Saying

Testimonials

“Ryan Keutzer and her staff at Studio K Architecture did an amazing job when we wanted to remodel our branch office. Their work was professional and timely, and when the inevitable questions came up before and during construction, their input was invaluable to make our project a success. Our newly remodeled office looks amazing inside and out!!”

-Dr. Arbet, Owner

“StudioK understood our vision on day one. Our hodgepodge of ideas was transformed into an incredibly unique and personal design.”

— David Hornbaker, Homeowner

“Working with Ryan and Studio K has been a great partnership. They are always available with any questions. We asked them to help us come up with a new design for our terminal building. Their design and utilization of the space was beyond anything I could have dreamed of. This will bring us from an outdated facility to a destination for pilots.”

— Todd W Dugan, Airport Manager - Pekin Municipal Airport

“After interviewing multiple architectural firms for my assisted living facility project, StudioK was the obvious choice. They (Ryan) seemed to understand from the the start exactly what my vision was for my new business, and collaborated with me during the entire process. StudioK did their due diligence with the city and the state prior to implementation in order to stay aligned with my timeline and budget. I am so very grateful for StudioK in helping to make my dream come true!”

— Erin Nevitt, Owner - Greenleaf Senior Living

“We had a great experience working with Ryan and her team from Studio K. Their experience in working with older, historical buildings was a big plus. We made their jobs a little more difficult by not having a general contractor managing the project, but we managed to get through it thanks to some flexibility and extra help from them. We have received nothing but positive feedback from the community and our guests on the results. The place has the warm and inviting feel we were looking for and Studio K was a big part of that.”

— Patton Block Grill & Brewpub

“Working with Ryan and her team at Studio K was fantastic. She did a great job of integrating the needs of the contracting firm and the needs of our office staff and patients. We had a seat at the table during the design process and it made the final product feel like our own.”

— Dr. Timothy Pratt, OSF Healthcare

“We’ve been interested in expanding our production facility for some time, but didn’t know where to start. Ryan and her team at studioK listened to what we need and gave us several options, including phased work, for us to consider. We love the ideas and we are excited to continue working with Studio K.”

— August Hill Winery | Illinois Sparkling Co.

“When our company decided to expand and modernize our 40-year-old office, we needed an architectural firm that was creative and could think out of the box. Ryan and her team at Studio K Architecture were able work through many challenges that come with older structures. Studio K stayed engaged through the entire process and we now have an office that is comfortable and more productive for our employees to work in.”

— Steve Nelson, President - Advanced Asphalt Co.
