“The Garage”
Vessel discovered and renovated this long-neglected gem located near the heart of the Grand Center Arts District in Saint Louis. It had a face only an architect could love, but we were captivated by the potential hidden behind the bricked-up doors and windows. The structure was designed as a service station by...

"Working with Vessel has been a wonderful experience for our church. Their ideas are fresh and creative but within the constraints of our budget. In fact, their solutions to our problems saved us a lot of money. They have met repeatedly with our committee and have been clear, organized, and patient. They have shown sensitivity to the culture of our church and the personalities of our people, and their diplomacy has avoided some potential problems on the committee. I highly recommend Vessel!

“Based on my experience I would highly recommend Vessel. Their ability to work with us through a major remodel of an existing historic structure and produce a set of drawings that reflected our desires for using the space was second to none. Their input was helpful in every phase of the project - their knowledge and expertise extended beyond simply generating drawings. This was especially helpful in our case because the complexity of our project required 'build to suit' drawings. Vessel was regularly on site during the demolition and construction phases of our project and was instrumental in seeing the project through. For any future projects I would feel no need to look further than Vessel.

"When my business partner and I talked with Brian and Vessel Architecture about our project, we had a couple of very different needs. First was to design wine storage pods that absolutely maximized every last inch of warehouse space in our building. The other was to make the remaining office/wine-tasting space feel is open, comfortable and 'non-warehouse like' as possible. The result was a newly renovated interior space that met both needs very well, while working very well together. Plus a great exterior renovation on a building that had been an eyesore on the block. I would not hesitate to call Brian again for our next location."

“I want you to know how happy I am with everything you have done and the work you put into this. I had my reservations, I will admit, about spending the kind of money I did for an architect when I did it myself last time; but you have far exceeded my expectations for both service and value for my money. Not that I thought you guys were asking too much, or were not worth it; it was just new to me (I imagine like a guy buying an engagement ring). I only hope I give my clients the service- and just as importantly, the talent- that you all gave to me."

“Despite the fact that the founders of Vessel Architecture & Design attended the University of Kansas, they have overcome all odds and fared reasonably well. It could be the Wildcat power that they’ve injected into their organization. We manage to get along with them despite our differences, and have not had any fist fights as of yet, at the same time we have not been in the same room during a KSU KU game yet either.”
Tom Reichardt | ReiCon Constructors
“I worked with Brian when he was the architect for a client and my company was the general contractor. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and his firm. The working relationship went very smoothly. The product that we were able build for the Owner could not have happened without the care and diligence that he put into his documents and the communication coordination between all parties involved. The Owner received the best product for the money spent due to his abilities.”
Bryan Mowrey | Senior Pastor | Jubilee Church
“Pete was great to work with. Our case wasn't cut and dry and he was very patient and accommodating. He gave us a lot of good options and remodeling strategies and was very helpful in not just getting the right initial plan, but in making sure the plan worked (codes, contractors, etc). He was very friendly and demonstrated a good balance of interpersonal skill and technical knowledge.”
