Our Background: Home







Growth From the Community

More than 50 years ago in Livonia, Michigan, William P. Lindhout, Architect began building the firm's reputation for design solutions that benefit local communities.

That reputation and the firm itself has grown along with these communities.  In 1969, we became William Pierce Lindhout Associates, Architects.  In 1978 our Livingston County office opened, and 9 years later moved to Brighton.  At the same time, we evolved to Lindhout Associates architects aia pc.  This evolution was achieved through personal and professional involvement in every aspect of our communities, working with agencies, municipalities, institutions and individuals from the commercial, religious, educational, industrial, and residential segments.



Your Need Plus Our Vision
It begins with your need for a space that functions efficiently, conveys an accurate image for your organization and contributes aesthetically to your community.  It expands with your concept of how this might be accomplished.  It develops with our vision of the most effective way to satisfy your need.

You might think it ends with a building - when we create the physical envelope of brick and mortar that encompassess your need, and part of it does.

At Lindhout Associates, we take great care to build relationships as well as develop design solutions that stand the test of time.  A great deal of our work is commissioned by previous clients.



The Vitality of Diversity
Yes, specialization develops expertise.  It can also steer architecture toward stagnation.  At Lindhout Associates, we believe the firm's experience in several arenas results in a creative cross-fertilization that produces unique solutions.

In 1957, we began with nationally recognized design in residential commissions, which led to work in the religious and commercial fields.  During the '60s we responded to the surge of need for educational buildings.  Our activity in the religious community expanded in the '70s.  In the '80s and '90s, we saw significant growth in the commercial and municipal design.  We have expanded our services to all these client categories in the current decade.

Regardless of the application, all of our designs benefit from extensive experience in office, school, religious, residential, food service and recreational projects.  View Our Portfolio>
