SPACE Architects + Planners

What a wonderful and talented team! They are very creative, budget friendly and really listen to their clients needs. It has been exciting to watch them grow over the years.

I was fortunate enough to work with Jean and his team from SPACE Architects + Planners on the gut rehab of a historic single-family Chicago home. The process took approximately one year and required the family to move out of their home for 6 months. A rarely-used back staircase was removed and valuable space was added in the form of an office and laundry room. All bathrooms and the kitchen were updated. Jean and I had not worked together previously. As an interior designer, I have high expectations for my project's finishes. Jean and I worked together seamlessly. In fact, the whole team (assembled by Jean) was flexible, open-minded, and shared the same common goal. When issues arose, as they always do during renovations, Jean and his team were unflappable and focused. Everyone's work was elevated because of the positive and collaborative tone set by Jean. In fact, the home turned out so beautifully, it was featured in a national publication. Building or renovating a home is a very stressful and expensive. Jean and SPACE are a great source of reason and information when time and money are on the line. I highly recommend them and look forward to collaborating with them in the future.

We worked with Jean, Meredith, Goran and the rest of team at Space to design our single family home in the city. This was a ground-up project, and they were experienced, creative, efficient and pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. They know the permitting process in Chicago like the back of their hand - which came in handy as we needed a type of variance. They ran the process to bid the job to several contractors, and then worked hand-in-hand with the contractor we chose. We are thrilled with the end product, and couldn't recommend them highly enough.

We worked with Space Architects + Planners as the Interior Designer on a single family residence renovation in Old Town. Jean and his team were wonderful to work with and always provided us with prompt answers to our questions to keep the design process moving forward. Having an excellent Architect to work with is vital to a multi-disciplinary and highly customized project such as the one we worked on together. Space was easy to work with when completing both design work and the final construction documents. It was also abundantly clear that the Client liked Space as well and had the utmost confidence in their abilities as we did. Space is a great Architect that we look forward to working with again and we highly recommend them!
