Olson Kundig

The firm began its creative existence in 1966 with the architect Jim Olson, whose work at that time centered on explorations of the relationship between dwellings and the landscapes they inhabit. Olson started the firm based on the essential idea that buildings can serve as a bridge between nature, culture, history, and people. The firm is led by 14 principals/owners who are supported by a team of over 250 in both Seattle and New York. It consciously devotes consistent energy and enthusiasm to every project, no matter whether the task at hand is a cabin in the woods or a high-rise in Seoul.
