Brininstool + Lynch, Ltd. is a Chicago-based architecture firm named for partners David Brininstool and Brad Lynch. Founded in 1989, the 33-person firm offers architecture, planning, interior and product design services.[1] The firm is known for its modern design aesthetic.[2] Brininstool + Lynch has received awards for multiple projects including Wood House[3] in Chicago, an office for Enova,[4] an online financial services company, and Racine Art Museum in Racine, Wisconsin.[5] Currently, they are working on a mixed-use residential project in Toronto which is an adaptive reuse of existing waterfront silos.[6] In 2013, Brininstool + Lynch moved to its current location in the West Loop into a building which was originally designed by them in 2001 for a previous client.[7]
