Woodhouse Tinucci Architects

Woodhouse Tinucci Architects is an award-winning architectural, planning and interior design firm. Their projects for Chicago’s most notable universities, institutions, and governments comprise a distinguished body of work that has earned them the Firm of the Year Award from the Chicago Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and several national AIA project awards, including the prestigious COTE Top Ten Award. Based in Chicago, the firm was founded in 1990 as David Woodhouse Architects, becoming Woodhouse Tinucci Architects in 2014. Their practice is guided by an ideal: the work that matters most is that which matters to the most people. Their optimism about public architecture serving our communities through authenticity, access, and progressivism has drawn them into partnership with institutions that share this mission and represent the forefront of educational, cultural, and recreational life. The challenges posed by the complexity of their needs, the necessity of their programming, the bounds of their resources, and the diversity of their audiences are a strong spur toward the creation of an architecture that makes a difference. Their projects for local municipalities, park districts, and universities have activated parks, restored civic landmarks, nurtured learning, and connected community—all while drawing people into a meaningful and sustainable relationship with the natural environment.
