Project Brief

This former men’s clothing store was slated for demolition after its most recent owner abandoned it. Ryan and Matt purchased the building in 2018 and began renovations for the office of studioK. The roof, portions of floor and rear wall all needed extensive repairs and replacement. The building had been open to the elements for many years. During the renovation the brick walls were exposed, original hardwood floors repaired and refinished, front entry restored, and the ceiling joists altered to allow for a more open feel to the space. The joists were then milled down and used for stair treads and a barn door feature. The open studio space allows for collaboration and interaction throughout the day. The downtown location with its linear space tucked along main street doesn’t provide for much light expect at the front entry and rear so the glass conference room located in the center of the space and the open floor plan allow for light to flow through.

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 This will bring us from an outdated facility to a destination for pilots.”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.”
