ABOUT US

SPACE is Architects, Designers & Builders

For over twenty years SPACE Design + Construction in St. Louis has designed and built some of St. Louis County and city’s most notable spaces. Launched in 2005 by architect Tom Niemeier, SPACE is rooted in design-first construction. SPACE architects and fabrication teams use timeless materials and conscientious craftsmanship for every Metro East project. Our team strives to bring as much value as possible to your investment by prioritizing what is most important to you, ensuring that the materials and methods employed will last in Kirkwood or Belleville for years to come.

SPACE design teams approach each project with a fresh eye. We use materials in innovative ways, and challenge our craftspeople to find clever solutions to the challenges of every St. Charles project.

Our team of St. Louis, Missouri and Illinois-based construction engineers work to find efficient solutions to every project in Collinsville, Olivette, Maryland Heights, and St. Peters.

SPACE DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION MISSION

At SPACE Design + Construction, we craft more than buildings: We shape Midwest environments that inspire and endure. With a seamless blend of architecture, interior design, and construction, SPACE architects and designers partner with discerning clients in St. Louis, St. Charles, and the Metro East to transform building and renovation visions into timeless, functional masterpieces that are built with uncompromising quality and care.

WHERE SPACE ARCHITECTS WORK

SPACE Design + Construction works throughout the Midwest with a focus on Missouri and Illinois. We are proud to have clients throughout the St. Louis Metropolitan area and suburbs that include Columbia (Missouri and Illinois), Edwardsville, Belleville, Fairview Heights, O’Fallon (Missouri and Illinois), all the way down to Waterloo and Murphysboro. No matter where you’re located, our SPACE architects, craftspeople, and designers are ready to bring your St. Louis Metro project to fruition.

SPACE DESIGN VALUES

TEAMWORK
When you work with SPACE, we become a team on your St. Charles building or renovation project. We cheer for each other through the process, and we help each other to bring your vision to life. Mistakes happen, but we don’t point fingers and gripe; SPACE designs and builds together to get the job done right through transparency and clear communication. 

INNOVATION
While we remember the lessons we’ve learned along the way, we don’t fall into the “we’ve always done it this way” trap. SPACE architects approach every project in Maryland Heights with a fresh perspective and a new way of conceiving a space that’s tailored to your needs.

INTEGRITY AND HONESTY
We want to design and build great projects and feel good about the way we do it. Transparency with our fees and timelines is of the utmost importance to us. We strive to have solid, long-term relationships with our SPACE design and construction clients, where they know they can trust us at every turn. 

CONTINUOUS LEARNING
We are perpetual students. While we have a skilled and gifted team, we don’t know it all. It’s up to us to seek new information and be well-informed to best serve you. We take great inspiration from Corita Kent’s Art Department Rules.

KINDNESS
Beyond what we do for clients, we use our skills to help our community at large and those who are sometimes forgotten during the design process. Our SPACEhabitat case study house is an example of how we aspire to serve others in life-changing ways. Contributing to the St. Louis Metro area’s communities we serve will always be a priority for SPACE Design + Construction.

Friday is the resident food moocher, overly-sensitive alarm system, and snuggle bug. You’ll find her sleeping under a table, enthusiastically greeting you at the front door, or intently watching you eat your lunch.

Friday Niemeier runs the show at Space Design and Construction: sanding out ruff edges in Belleville, fetching the best craftsmen in St. Peters, and staying loyal to your vision in St. Louis.
