Kansas City

 

BNIM was founded in 1970 in Kansas City. From its earliest history, the firm has been dedicated to strengthening our urban cores with projects that create a strong civic identity and a revitalized sense of place. While BNIM is often recognized for its national projects and initiatives, the skill and experience that has emerged from being deeply engaged in the most important community issues and initiatives has been critical to this growth. BNIM’s work has resulted in the 2011 AIA Firm Award and over 400 awards for design, planning and leadership. The office is located in Hallmark's Crown Center. Our offices are a model for transformative workplace design, supported by Crown Center’s environmental commitment.

SAN DIEGO OFFICE

Des Moines

 

BNIM's Des Moines Office was founded in 2007 in downtown Des Moines. The current office is located within a former bank lobby on the southeast corner of the active intersection of 6th and Locust. The studio itself is filled with daylight from the street and uses partial height elements to define the various office spaces, allowing a lively interaction between the office space and the street level. The studio has helped foster a rejuvenation of the urban core and has been honored with six awards including an AIA National Honor Award for Interior Architecture and the 2013 American Architecture Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

San Diego

BNIM's San Diego practice was founded in 2007. From supporting and celebrating local artists in our former location in Little Italy to sharing our new office with the San Diego chapter of the USGBC, BNIM has become an integral member of the community. Our new location keeps us connected and makes an ideal spot for gatherings with client partners, friends, and colleagues — especially during the height of baseball season.
