David Brininstool and Brad Lynch teamed to form Brininstool + Lynch in 1989. Brininstool worked at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill following his graduate and undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan. Lynch was educated at the University of Wisconsin before working as a construction and project manager for the restoration of several Frank Lloyd Wright structures, including the National Landmarked First Herbert Jacobs House, Wright's first Usonian House.
Designing projects at numerous scales and contexts, their office has gained a reputation for exacting, advanced, and elegant work. The principals remain fully engaged throughout the life of each project, and their collaborative process extends to clients, consultants, and community and civic entities.
Both Brininstool and Lynch have been actively involved in civic, professional, and academic endeavors throughout their careers. These activities inform and enhance their built work, keeping them engaged with like-minded collaborators who share their broadly humanistic goals for architecture. The partners have dedicated their lives to improving society through the creation and promotion of design excellence.
